    Default Suggestion for Spartan Hoplites

    Hi,
    I would like to highlight an important, special "ritual" for the Spartan Hoplites.
    Wonder if it is possible for the team to include the Spartan Hoplites hair-combing ritual in the war field intro scene, u know, the scene b4 the battle starts. This ritual is always specially mentioned in Herodotus' books & even impressed King Xeres of Persia greatly

    AS far as i know there is nothing we can do about this the prebattle scene is set i think i dont think there is any way of making a set unit/faction do something different to the standard animation.

    Also I think you should make Sparta have few citizens, and the population to grow up really slow

    The Spartan citizens served in the army, as well perioikoi. They still had a decent sized population, they just restricted who could serve in the army, as professional hoplites.

    Oh, that's a pity cos it would be a very interesting scene but anyways the team has already created exceptional hoplites~~ applauses^^
    yap, Locky is right, only the ones who have passed out from the Agoge will serve the hoplites, the best will serve as the Kings' bodyguards while those who fail..... will become craps...
    However I would agree that the Spartan population growth is slow cos most of the Spartan males will go to war every now & then
    The Helots' population will grow fast though

    i would be highly grateful if the spartan hoplite wore better armor plates on their torso with the 6 pack design yo know what i mean ..... they would look cool .... not to compare but if you need ideas on how this looks exactly check out the spartan hoplites of Roma Surrectum 1.5a ..... only the torso though ..... pretty please !!!

    I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees !!!
