spartan helmets

i like historical gameplay but prefer awesome skins above historical, ofcourse if they look great and are historical i'll see that as a luxery.

ok, if the salad bowls are historical, the form what era is the alternative? before or after? isn't there really anything else?

so true

i would like them to look as they were in there prime, big frilly helms, overhand stabbing, the kopis, plus bare chest and kilt.

kopis would be extremely nice.

oh for sure

I take it you mean the corinthian helmet? The one the generals are wearing?
That one went out of fashion around 450BC, it was still used by hoplites now and then but often because it went from father to son.
So the helmet is from a previous date, and a quite distant one.

that is correct.

also, for people that wanted to see ehmm, naked spartans, just get a great comicbook by Frank Miller, called 300, about their stand at Thermopylae... they do not use arnour or tunics in this one :)
