Faction that includes Spartans???

[Foot]

I haven't played the original EB,but here's a suggestion from a die-hard Sparta fan: how about retaining the pylos helmet (which I'm pretty sure was what they historically wore,but if I'm wrong,please enlighten me) but adding a transverse red crest,while axing the cloak and making their armor visable, with red tunics worn beneath? Historically,they never wore cloaks into battle.

PS - This just coming from someone who plays Rome with Spartans who look like priests wearing red robes and bronze helmets,so I don't mean to but in.

Well considering that our spartans are completely different to vanilla spartans this is a really odd thing to put forward. They don't have crests, but they have highly ornate armour, a short-red cloack, pylos helmet.
