The Spartans where effectively limited to just Sparta and (if I ember right, but i didn't play RTW too much before I got M2TW so please forgive me if I get this bit wrong), you Had also to be playing as Greeks.

If a Woodmens masters guild was as hard top get fro England as it is for everyone else then Sherwood Archers would be of suitable rarity.
Spartans were restricted to greeks in Sparta and Syracuse.

Sherwood archers are restricted to one province, and one faction. They can only be trained in a master or HQ woodsmans guild as the english. The guild isn't very hard to get, but it is surely harder to get than building the highest level barracks in Sparta...
