Qarthadastim and Spartan Hoplites

[Onehandstan]

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! 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?

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?

No, only Xanthippos and his bodyguard.

Welcome to the forum. This has been discussed before, it's Xanthippos of Carthage, a Spartan who is one of SSbQ's starting units. In future fdo a search. Also, while you're here, download my manual! (Click the link in my sig)

Carthage doesn't start with him anymore. The script spawns him in Africa if certain conditions are met, namely *If Human player is Carthage* if Carthage is at war with Rome between the 66th and 75th turns. If not Carthage, he simply gets spawned on the 67th turn *255 bc winter iirc*.

It wasn't a general or anything just a unit of spartans.
