From John Norman's Gor Series

John Norman's Gor series, 25 books starting with Tarnsman of Gor, tells the story of a counter-Earth kept at a very specific level of technology by the alien and almighty Priest Kings:  hugely advanced in medicine, but Greek City-State for everything else.  

They provide an excellent background for the construction of several army lists, the first of which is that of a typical Gorean City State.  Think Athens or Sparta or Thebes with the addition of crossbows, giant eagle-like riding birds, and lizard-like Tharlarion riding beasts.

Gorean City State Army List for Vis Magica

• Officers as Tarn Cavalry, Tharlarion Cavalry or Heavy Infantry.  Gorean Cities may field an Army Standard, which should be mounted on the same base as the most senior Officer present; or field a Sacred Standard in the form of the City Homestone carried by Initiates, mounted on its own base.

• Tarns are large, eagle-like birds. Tarn Cavalry are Flying Cavalry. Tarns may be upgraded to Fighting Steeds at a cost of +4 points per base (+2 STR).

• Tharlarion are large, quadraped lizards.

• All Average bases may be upgraded to Veteran at a cost of +4 points per base (+2 STR), or downgraded to Levy at a saving of –4 points per base (-2 STR).

• Gorean City armies should be from one nominated city:  other cities may supply Allied Troops. 

  - An army of Thentis should have huge amounts of Tarn Cavalry, but may have no Tharlarion, Peasant Longbowmen, Townspeople or Artillery.

  - An army from Ko-ro-ba should have few Tharlarion, but much Tarn and Infantry.

  - Armies from Cos or Tyros should have no Peasant Longbowmen or Tharlarion.

  - An army from Port Kar may have no Tharlarion or Allies, but may triple the amount of Peasant Longbowmen allowed.

  - An army from Turia may have no Allies, except for Mercenary Tarn Cavalry.
