Conquest, City States - War Chariot Flogobolon (PBCS403)
The City States have long recognized the effectiveness of the Flogobolon and the Skorpios, but deploying them efficiently on the battlefield has posed a challenge. In a moment of ingenuity, the Gerousia of Helias invited merchant and noble houses to sponsor the construction of these lethal vehicles. The resulting spending frenzy and overengineering spread to other City States and their noble backers. Crafted by the dweghom, these weapons are feats of engineering unmatched by others, with sturdy wood and metal sheathing protecting both rider and weapon, while the lions symbolize the wealth and power of their patrons.
In battle, these war chariots are fast-moving, mobile ranged platforms that provide vital support to the City States' main battle lines. The Flogobolon serves as a potent deterrent against enemy regiments flanking your main line, delivering devastating salvos to those already engaged in combat. Conversely, the Skorpios sacrifices some damage output for longer-range capability, enabling it to address a broader range of threats on the battlefield.
