    The Koinon Hellenon can recruit them, at a level 5 factional MIC, IIRC, in Sparta only. Perhaps this would be more relevant in the EB1 forum seeing as development has hardly started on EB2 yet?

    EDIT: Perhaps I misread the question?

    thanks, so Koinon Hellenon will have the spartan hoplites with the red robes? Hopefully a change is made so that they have the full helmet with the faceguard instead of just the helmet.

    Although I'm not on the team, I can tell you the helmet won't be changing unless you can produce strong historical evidence of the use of the Corinthian Helm in this period. I agree that the Corinthian is much better looking, but it's just not historical in this time period, although there's nothing stopping you swapping the skin with another one.

    Torso of a Spartan hoplite,
    found at Sparta and identified
    as a memorial statue to
    Leonidas (Museum of Sparta;

    Is that enough evidence or are you talking about someone actually stating from that time period that they wore a certain type of helmet

    Nobody denies that the spartans used corinthian helms, it is just that by ebs time frame, that had been replaced with the atticke and I forget what the one the eb spartans use is called,as the corinthian did not give enough visibility. (Though it does look very cool)

    Yes, that bust represents a Spartan from about 200 years or more before the time period that EB depicts - it's reasonable evidence for about 500 BC perhaps, but certainly not for 272 BC!

    One point I'd like to make: when an artist makes a statue or painting, sometimes he depicts them with the armor of HIS own time period, not that of the subject's (Leonidas, Brasidas, or whoever) period. Take the case of a painting depicting the Fall of Troy with the people in in wearing clothes and armor of the Renaissance--just because the painter lived during the Renaissance. Hawooh.
