Okay, som I'm playing as the Romani and I've just snuck Karth-Adast from the Qarthadastim so they send a large elite army to take it back. While I was looking through their army thinking "oh crap" I notice the they have a unit of spartans in there!:dizzy2: So I looked in the recruitment viewer and it said the Qarthadastim can't get Spartans! So why have they got these elite warriors in north africa threatening Romes finest?:help:
P.S: First post!
Welcome to the forums, Onehandstan.
That Spartan general would be Xanthippos. He is a Spartan general that helped Carthage in their wars against Rome.
So Carthage can recruit Spartiates, then? :inquisitive:Quote:

Hello Onehandstan,
some generals don´t ride horses, but there are still a general-unit :yes:
just look at the koinon hellenon and swêboz faction
greetings
Oh, i forgot the casse!!
they drive in battle with a nice rolce royce weagon
cheers
You shouldn't worry about those Spartans, there are just 300 of them and they are naked save for leather slips. :idea2:
I know some generals don't ride horses but this unit doesn't even have a character pic...
They could have been bribed. As Qarthage needs ownership of the Spartan hoplites for the Xanthippos thing to work, they can also bribe them. However they cannot recruit Spartan hoplites because the code doesn't exist for them in the EDB.
Foot
as far as I know the Qarthadastim haven't set foor in Greece so I don't think they bribed them.
Hmmm, I think you have made a mistake here. I don't believe it is possible for them to have bribed a unit of Spartans, as that would mean they would have shiped them from Hellas to Africa... Somewhat impossible if you ask me, even if you play with alex.exe.
I wouldn't say that.Quote:

In my Arverni campaign (with BI) the Carthies bribed this Roman FM in Illyria.
Then about 30 turns later (after the Carthies lost Sicilia to the Romans) they've put him aboard a ship and turned to Africa!
Unfortunatly the ship was sunk by pirates between Malta and the African coast..
Hmmm, but then again it seems highly unlikely for something like that to have happened.
Maion
Can you get spartans as mercenaries?
Nope, unless you modify that of course.
Maion
No, you can't.
edit : as Maion said...
