Can anyone start a Spartan AAR?

You'd get wiped out immediately. I kept Rhodes and Athens and pump out hoplites as often as i can, it still took me 20 years to create any kind of decent income overall and well over 10 major defeats before i started making progress.

Small progress at that... I took Mytilene. Overall i'm still getting nowhere fast.

Well, that is what would happen historically - that was the point I was making by posting that.

Spartan AARs = "THIS IS SPARTA YARRRRGHH - dead".

I'd enjoy another one, though.

Well, he could roleplay the Seleukidai gifting money to Sparte (console commands) to fund a war that would end up in Sparte emerging Hegemon of Hellas (something the Seleukidai didn't count for).

Now that would be really interresting - and then the Spartans would try to conquer the whole of Alexander Empire to show that Spartans can always do better

or.. an Anabasis with Leonidas the second
