    Those units cannot be done, as they would be historically incorrect.

    The Spartans believed that ranged weapons were cowardly, because they killed at a distance. Besides, the Spartans never rode horses, or used javelins, these jobs were held for lesser classes. What's the point of a life-time of training if you're just going to run away after throwing your spears?

    As for Spartan Heavy Hoplites, there cannot be such a thing. There was only one unit type in Spartan: the hoplite. All Spartan's were equppied equally, so there was no such thing as higher or lower quality soldiers.

    You can do this. But you must split the units in die Spartan classes. For example Heavy Hoplites are Perioeci. This is not the historical correct way but the best way to create various Spartan nation.
