Spartan Agoge

most young men go under the agoge. they have to stay in sparte and must not leave till its completet (when they are 20)... or if they go under the krypteia, wich is even better, they have to stay in the province of sparte, but not in the city itself.

if they leave too early, they have failed and stay of course loosers for the rest of their lives ;-)

I only send Spartans to the agoge. Athenians turn out to be retards especially if they go to it.

Yea, that's usually what I do. I turn Sparte into my military training centre and only send spartans to get trained there. In Athens I build up academies and give my athenians a good education....

You want to build up the education facilities in Sparta too. That way you start getting massively useful FMs.

I usually build even an Akademia in Sparte, mainly for the puppet governors I install there. They get good traits, plus my youngsters can undergo the Agoge there.

Hm in my Mak campaign I sent the FMs first to Sparte and then 2 years to Athens, where I had great schools of learning.

I just sent my Dull/Charismatic/Langourous Demetrias Aergedes to Sparta for some Agoge-training. Hopefully, he will not turn out to be a complete idiot...

I didn't know that schools affected FM's after their coming of age. I thought it simply made the city as a whole run better and new FM's smarter. On the same note, does anyone know if schools actually improve diplomats (or any agents for that matter)?
