    Default Spartan Hoplites Recruitment

    How is it that when I am playing as Koinon Hellenon or Makedonia I can never get to recruit spartan hoplites??

    I know the general's bodyguard is spartan but I just want to be able to either recruit them or get spartan mercenaries.

    I have tried to install some spartan mercenary minimods but they just don't seem to work..........any thoughts please??

    Are you trying in cities other than Sparta? If yes, that's the problem - AFAIK Spartan hoplites can be recruited only in Sparta. The macedonians cannot recruit spartan hoplites, since they're KH specific.

    Spartan hoplites require the highest level of barracks. By EB's time-frame the agoge had been abolished, so the Spartan rank-and-file wasn't any better than that of other cities. Constructing the highest level of barracks represents the reinstitution of the agoge.

    Macedonians can't recruit Spartans for the same reason that most faction cannot recruit another's elite units. Elite units require political concessions to the local elite that made up these units. Most states preferred instead to use their own elite corps that did not need such concessions and were more loyal to the homeland.
