Explotation kid. The Trojans did fight outside of their city. They fought constant skirmishes with the greeks for 10 years on and off. But only at the last year did the war fully break out where the greek army was pushed back to their ships and nearly completely wiped out until patroclus came along pretending to be Achilles and forced the Trojans back. The Trojans only managed to counter act the greeks at every turn because the greeks had a traitor amongst them. Agamemmnon was a shite commande

@ExploitationKid How the hell do you know this. The only evidence that we have of the war is through the Iliad and some pottery fragments. There is NOTHING else that describes the war in detail as you are saying now. And obviously you need to go outside your walls and fight your enemy in order to drive them off, because they can easily besiege your city and starve out your population. Food for a massive population was grown outside the city for spacial purposes. You're wrong.

I am greek Troy was a glorified movie about the trojans. it was all bullshit. The trojans never came out with a army to fight the greeks. The only time they left there walls were on little night raids against the greeks. The rest of the time they hid behind there walls and just rained arrows. Before u guys start arguing with me ive read lots of books about this war and i looked up a lot The trojans never did shit outside there walls army to army. Its just proof in the books

GREEK HISTORIANS ARE MENTIONING TROAS: Eratosthenes , Herodotus Duris of Samos Modern archaeologists associate Homeric Troy with archaeological Troy VII......................Besid­es the Iliad, there are references to Troy in the other major work attributed to Homer, the Odyssey, as well as in other ancient Greek literature. The Homeric legend of Troy was elaborated by the Roman poet Virgil in his Aeneid.

From Dardanus' grandson Tros the people gained the additional name of Trojans and the region gained the additional name Troad. Tros' son Ilus subsequently founded a further city called Ilion down on the plain, the city now more commonly called Troy, and the kingdom was split between Ilium and Dardania....GREEK COLONIES!...TROJANS WERE ALSO GREEKS!...CLOSE YOUR MOUTH NOW!

Dardania Greek: Δαρδανία in Greek mythology is the name of a city founded on Mount Ida by Dardanus from which also the region and the people took their name. It lay on the Hellespont, and is the source of the strait's modern name, the Dardanelles...........
