I'm presently playing as Macedon in it, and it's really cool. A few hours ago, I actually beat some Spartan Phalangists by taking Sparta.

The Greek Cities, (formerly allies) betrayed me and attacked one of my cities.

I immediately assembled an army of 4 heavy infantry, two slingers, and one cavalry, and besieged Sparta.

Those rascals sallied immediately! While their Spartan Phalangists, and Spartan Royal Guard chased my slingers in two different directions, I tried to engage them with my HI. I also sent a siege tower manned by hoplites to the wall. The HI that I sent to engage the Spartans got their butts kicked, but the slingers kept their distance and the Spartans pursued them. The hoplites on the siege tower secured the nearest gate, and then started running around the perimeter securing the towers. I dashed my cavalry in and to the town square as the only opposition past the gate was towers I'd not yet secured.

3 minutes on the square, the Spartans were still chasing my slingers.

Continue, or end battle?

Well, let me see.

End battle!

Those Spartans are tough, and they have silver armor!
