    Hey, I was looking for a Sparta campaign to watch! By the way, I don't know about in this timeline, but in the era before the Achaemenid invasion and the Peloponnesian war, Sparta and Argos were both rivals. Maybe you should take that into account when playing, and betray them later on (I mean, I'm sure you will anyways, but just saying for roleplay purposes).

I will be following your playthrough, and will start mine again soon. My plan is to conquer the Peloponnese then invade Italy. Integrate the Roman culture into mine, to have the best heavy infantry the world has ever seen.

    I just bought Imperator Rome. I'm fascinated by Greek classical antiquity. Thanks for this tutorial. I also like you pronouncing Makedonia instead of Macedonia. In fact "C" should always be pronounced "K". Like the letter "V" in Latin should be spoken "UI". Being Portuguese my language comes from Latin and it's good to know where words come from. I just give you an example. We have the word "Oliveira" for "Olive tree". then we have "Azeitona" -> "Olive" and "Azeite" -> "Olive Oil". This is because we were occupied by Arabs so the correct should be in Portuguese: "Oliveira (Olive Tree)" -> "Oliva (Olive)" -> "Oleo (Olive oil)". Not Oliveira -> Azeitona -> Azeite. This could lead us to hours of discussion, among other examples. It's just good to have memory and words have meaning.

      Considering that in Sparta every single Landholding Citizen was a trained Elite Soldier with an estate to finance their own upkeep, training and equipment at least in theory Sparta would be the most structured and militarized society in existence. That is however only if you do not count the Slave class of Helots and the "Free People" who weren't part of the Spartan Citizenry.
      And then you could compare their system to ideal feudalism.
