[Azathoth]

At Sellasia Sparta had 6000 Spartan citizens, a Spartan king Cleomenes III just grabbed power in Sparta and was bringing back the old ways of Sparta. He also adopted the Macedonian Phalanx which the Spartans by then used! The Periokoi were still fighting as Hoplites in this battle though.

The point I was trying to make was that there were very few real homioi by then, so I don't see why the EB Spartan Hoplite should be used, as it would make the Spartan MPer unrealistically strong. But then again (my other point), it might in fact be better to include the EB Spartan units for the sake of balance. That's what I was trying to say.
