THIS IS SPA- Carthage?!

[pikeman]

I noticed that after starting a war against Roma, I got myself a general with Spartans for bodyguards... They slaughtered the Romans like persians in 300...but isn't EB suppose to be historical?

p.s. Carthage is getting rather fun, but I notice I can hardly recruit anything when I marched east. (and constantly meat-grinding with the Sister -ing greeks.)

You're actually obliged to read that, and quite possibly the referenced sources and any relative material you can get your hands on. It says so in the user agreement during the EB installation.

I have no intention of drowning him though! (if that's even possible with the rtw engine) He is happily rampaging through Italy atm.

Ahhh yesss.. Xanthippus, i remember the glorious days i used him against all the enemies (Romans, Gauls, And some Iberian rebels), its good to hear your are enjoying your Carthies campaign, and never forget the great wealth the iberian provinces can give you.

I encountered Xanthippos a while ago in my campaign. Let's just say that he learned not to mess with my Peltastai Makedonikoi and Hetairoi the hard way.

Just wandering: if Carthage can have a unit of Spartan hoplites (Xantipos): is that unit available for Carthage in local Mic in Sparta (if one, let's say, conquer Sparta with Carthies)?
