This is Sparta? o.O
Hey all,
Well, I've been enjoying all the good that 1.1 has to offer. My Romani compaign is coming along nicely. However, I encountered a weird little thing while fighting near Kart-Hadast.

I don't know for sure, but i would guess that it is Xanthippos, a spartan mercenary, who reformed the carthaginian military in the time of the first punic war.

What the... you're right. I just checked and yes, it's Xanthippos. Whoa, nice one EB team!

See Polybius 1.32 - 1.35. Xanthippus is probably most famous for his victory over Marcus Atilius Regulus at the Battle of Tunis.
