Well the New Danzig Militarist are Spartan sympathizers and pro Danzig expansion, no matter the cost. Which reminds me, I shall expand to the west, encircling the Danes unlawful German territory.
Sparta invents this thing called chain-mail! It is small metal rings rapped together to form a mesh, allowing the wearer more flexibility then our current armor yet not the bear look of cloth or leather. We put it on our military men. It acts as a cruise as iron acts on plate in other areas of the body for heavy hopturians. Light hopturians now use it a standard issue. This allows for greater mobility on battlefield. Chainmail also now is added for sleeves and greaves for light hopturians.
