![]() I will play as rome at some point (300 and gladiator are my 2 favourite films) The main problem is that you have nothing to spend your money on, i currently have 600k gold with 10k coming in per turn and every faction keeps trying to "sell" you defensive alliances and trade agreements because they want a slice of your pie. I always love the battles where you have like 2000 kills with about 50 deaths aswell (against low levels recruits I should add) The best fights have been the ones where you are outnumbered 2:1 etc but still manage to claw a victory. I am on turn 120 and not once has any1 declared war on me (too scared). Originally posted by I_ArCh0n_I:I have been playing as Sparta and I really like having a small but powerful force. Sparta would have been my favourite faction but for now I think it has to be a barbarian one, perhaps the Arverni as all organised militaries have so little cohesion its pointless. ![]() Perioikoi were not allowed Spartan cloaks using crimson clothing if they wished to associate themselves and generally had lambda marked shields as a mark of their allegiance so for me the disparity in accuracy of armour is a shame. Full Spartiates used full bronze armour, a lambda decorated shield (Kudos for that CA) and their helmet was a full face bronze helm with a crest running from front to back with the back of the crest hanging down like a ponytail with the corinth helmet (left to right crest) also in use but generally for officers or prestigious troops as well as only full Spartiates were allowed the crimson cloak. Pelos helmets (what the Royal Spartans have) were more often Perioikoi helmets and were largely phased out by this point in history. Another thing which annoyed me was the fact that the armour was wrong. Secondly their units are vulnerable, more so than they should be, against cavalry charges. The problems are that firstly unit cohesion in the game is nonexistant so the phalanx breaks with the tiniest assault against it so the Spartans primary advantage which is a superior phalanx is nullified and in melee spearmen have a disadvantage against swordsmen so they are overly easy to kill.
