Re: Carthago and spartans
Presumably that was the scripted arrival of Xanthippos the Spartan mercenary.
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
Re: Carthago and spartans
And are you sure or its just your opinion???
Thanx
Re: Carthago and spartans
Xanthippos has Spartan bodyguards. No other faction besides KH can recruit spartans otherwise.
The logical conclusion is that those were X's bodyguards...

Eh, by what I know of it he just improved drill and discipline which had been slacking a bit and were duly causing problems against the Romans. I understand the Carthies were as such fully learned in hoplite techniques from their turf wars with Syracuse and other Greek colonies already.

Re: Carthago and spartans
Cool. I didn't know EB had script that inserted historical people into the game. Are there any others like Xanthippus?

I always thought the EB team had said that they would never add in historical characters after the game starts with the script.

Re: Carthago and spartans
Xanthippos is a special case. He is alive at the start of the game, and in fact he used to be a Qarthadastim family member. We have removed him as a FM and now allow him to be hired him under certain circumstances.
