Spartan Royal Guard: Traditionally the Spartan Royal Guard numbered just 300 men. The Greek cities start with one unit which can be retrained in Sparta at great expense. Although the Greek Cities start out at a distinct military disadvantage, these men can turn the tide of battle. Put to good use they may, once again, secure freedom for the Greeks.

The recruitment time for additional units is 30 turns. This is set deliberately high to discourage the player from maintaining more than one unit at a time. The Royal Guard is supposed to be unique, so I advise against recruiting new units, unless the first one is entirely wiped out. If you want more Spartans, wait until you can recruit Spartan Phalangites (requires an Army Barracks in Sparta).

from what i understand , i need Army Barracks in Sparta.
does this mean that the Spartan royal guard be recruitable at fewer time than the 30 turns when starting ?????

No it does not. If you want to have them in fewer then 10 turns, you must do something with the folders, or download XGM command from the sub-forum.

Spartan Phalangites (slightly overstrength Armoured Phalangites) are recruitable at 1 or 2 turns (can't remember which) with an army barracks in Sparta (and after the reforms, the perioici (sp?) is recruitable as overstrechth hoplites before reforms.)

The Royal Guard is recruitable 30 turns in Sparta regardless of barracks. To decrease recruitment time, download the XGM command mod in the Sub-Mod sub-forum, or look in the read-me for DBH's instructions (to find the read-me, look in the "Download" thread (stickied), go into the download mod here bit and click on the read-me sign at the top)

You can just decrease the number of turns from the export_descr_units.txt file in the xgm/data subfolder although I do not advise doing it as it's quite unbalancing.
