=== Overall strategy===
Not all warriors in a Laconian host are true Spartans - that role falls upon the Spartan-born Homoioi, or peers. Instead, when so needed, the Laconian nation can call upon a vast number of colonial dependents, if not slaves, to serve in whatever position it desires.
Such is the role of the Neodamodes - the "new provincials" as their nomenclature is roughly translated. Yet, as befitting their status — slaves promised manumission following the completion of their service, the Neodamodes cannot, in contrast with many other units of the Laconian army, be expected to fight well, much less be equipped for the task, given the Spartan fear of slave uprisings. Yet while most slaves are usually expected to perform the less glamorous roles of logistics, engineering and forage, the strongest amongst them who can function as frontliners are often given an aspis and a dory, and are best used as a moveable meat shield. Despite this, however, Neodamodes, however, are still substantially tougher and stronger than the generic Greek promakhoi which are ubiquitous elsewhere, and can be counted upon to acquit themselves fairly well in melee encounters where access to the more powerful Spartan units are not available.

==== Trivia ====
These units are modelled after the appearance of Spartan warriors in Frank Miller's comic "300", and the movie based on the same.... and are in fact meant to be a joke aimed at roasting both the comic and film, since the Neodamodes Hoplitai are by far the weakest of all of Lacedaemon's unique foot melee units and historically weren't Spartans.
