[@bsmitty109]

Well if he is stupid and actually kicks with his toes instead of the top of his foot or bottom of his shin

[@mxviii]

Brandon Smith Yeah if you want shin splints. You're strike area with a kick is the ball or top flat of your foot.

[@bsmitty109]

Actually in a fair amount of cases kicking with the flat of the foot can cause serious injuries, if his shin is well conditioned or he has a very strong bone structure he would probably end up with a bruised shin at the most

spartan hoplites should have the friggen ability to SWITCH to sword/spear

[@thegrass7199]

Spartans only use their swords when they lost or broke their spears but historically they often prefer to use spears

[@Gyrosmeister]

the sword was a secondary weapon to the spear for the Hoplites(not only spartans). They would draw it only if they lost/broke their spear in combat

[@cormacbrowne6393]

It would be cool if they had a melee unit instead of all spears

[@pingtangcalagan0554]

you mean sword infantry? because those spartan spears are still melee weapons in general use. its a very rare occasion that they would use it as a missile.

[@Mrbigmike311]

I love the total war series but to be honest, I would love to see the campaign gets cinematic video once you complete objectives. Let say once you are done with the first objectives depending on what you did well the cinematic will reflect on your choice that you did. It will be more thrilling to continue your campaign. I love the into cinematic before each campaign but the excitement of continuing to conquer dies later on.

[@maarekstele2998]

Creative Assembly: "But... Sparta wasn't a power in this time period... they were nothing. Besides, we need more time to finish the actual game." Sega: "Hey, Frank Miller made Spartans popular. And he make a story about guys who fucked little boys, and them dress them up as male strippers, and that story is popular, then we have to follow."

[@araposkulo]

If you play the DLC you will see that there is no Rome in it. Only Greek City States and Persians (not really remember Persians, but probably). The whole DLC takes place during the Peloponnesian War (basically Athens VS Sparta) and it was always a power (in Ancient Greece at least, up until the Romans conquered them) . I'll agree on one thing, it has nothing to do with Rome and the Roman Era, so yeah it takes you on a completely different time period... It's a good DLC though

[@Cybermat47]

+egw esu really? I didn't know that, thanks man :)

[@araposkulo]

Cybermat47 no problem. Just in case you are interested you should check out some playthroughs and decide for yourself :) (you know.... since it's Steam Sales n' all :p )

[@Cybermat47]

+egw esu oh, I know about the Steam sales alright, I got R2TW and the blood DLC today :D I'm gonna start a proper campaign as either the Scipii (I got the Roman families mod) or the Iceni as soon as I finish my Citerioris Provinciae campaign in 'Hegemony Rome' :D

[@Cybermat47]

+egw esu I got 'Wrath of Sparta' today, and it's awesome. The period between the creation of the Agoge and the death of Alexander the Great is my favourite period of Greek history, and it's great to see the golden age of hoplites in Total War at last. I also have 'Hegemony Gold: Wars of Ancient Greece', which covers the beginning of the Peloponesian War, it's end, and the rise of Macedon, but while it's one of the best indie games I've ever seen, it just doesn't have the same realistic graphics as R2TW, and the gameplay is quite different. Now, to see if I can recreate the Battle of Thermopylae...

All eyes look on Sparta and this is what you would have them see? From birth a Spartan is trained for one purpose TO DO BATTLE. They dare think themselves you're equal. None can match your skill. It's every Spartans duty to embody the very nature of war. Strike now I beg you!" Man that is some great writing and a hard argument to turn down.

[@rozenzoon]

***** Oh, thanks.

[@chrisstamatis3570]

After the Greco-Persian wars the term Greece/Hellas and Greek/Hellen was used a lot not only by the common people but by historians. The greatest examples are Thucidides, Xenophon and Herodotus. They knew they where Greeks but there wasn't a grown national spirit that'w why we had many conflicts together. However, we have been united at this time many times with the most known examples being the panhellenic alliance with Philip and Alexander and the alliance against the Persians during the Greco-Persian wars. The fact that this term existed back then can be proved , also, with the fact that only Greeks could participate in the Olympic Games and in many other festivals, events etc and there is a really epic :D phrase: "Πας μη Έλλην βάρβαρος" which means whoever is not Greek is barbarian. I hope I helped a bit :)
