Perioikoi Expansion Plan

= Perioikoi Expansion Plan =
== Introduction ==
The Perioikoi Expansion Plan is a strategy in which to transform the Perioikoi Corps into a force that can be easily molded to the needs of the Koratai and the genre itself as well as be compared to the growth of Sparta. The plan entails the use of a Lochos System, reformation of the Spartan Recruitment Command, removal of the Machitis and Igetis.
= Lochos System =
== Purpose ==
These new units will be commanded by a Ysteroi to enable the Corps to increase its capacity. What do we mean by this? It means that the Corps can rally an unlimited amount of number as these men will be designated to their own Lochos. For example, a Corps that can rally 60 is not very effective nor efficient if every other faction only rallies 60. If these 60 soldiers were split, then instead of teaming 30 people out they could instead be doing their own raid.
== Cohort System ==
A very known system utilised in Roman legions and paramilitaries is the Cohort System in which the Legion is segregated into Cohorts led by usually Centurions/Primus PIlus. Not every unit of Rome could use such a system as it requires heavy maintenance and large rally counts to be properly used for its advantages.
Benefits
* More opportunities
* Commanding positions
* Community bonding
Flaws
* High maintenance
* Heavy decentralization
If the system is properly managed, it can lead to morale loss and confusion which could damage the unit. 
== Structure ==
Each Lochos will be similar, with the exception of the Skiritae Lochos...
Senior Perioikoi Command
* Taxiarkhos
* Koratai
* Logade
Lochos Perioikoi Command
* Ysteroi
* Ekdromoi
== Recruitment ==
The Ysteroi and their Lochos will be responsible for their own recruitment, to do so as they see fit. However, they must adhere to the standards that the Senior Perioikoi Command (SPCOM) expect and must teach certain aspects to recruits.
