HCP's Sparta Rework: Wrath of Sparta

Description
"An entirely militarised culture, the Spartans are truly a force to be reckoned with."

Welcome to the Sparta Rework, part of my Wrath of Sparta rework collection!

This mod overhauls the Spartan roster and gives it more unique gameplay! Sparta is world renowned for its legendary infantry, and their new and improved roster reflects it. Indomnitable on the battlefield, take command of Sparta and bring the machinations of imperialist Athenai to heel, and all other who oppose Spartan hegemony!

New units:

ARCADIAN WARRIORS
: T1 barracks: "They shout and curse, stabbing wildly; more brawlers than warriors. They make a wondrous mess of things. Brave amateurs, they do their part."
PERIOKOI URBAN MILITIA
: T1 barracks: Equipped with a sword, well trained and protected by armour these troops are far superior to most militias.
WARDENS OF THE KING
: T4 barracks: These elite heavy hoplites, disciplined, well-armoured, and hard-faced, are a terror to face.
KRYPTEIA
: T4 barracks: Only the finest graduates of the Agoge are allowed to serve in the shadowy Krypteia, whose principle aim is to instill terror into the hearts of Helots, and anyone else who dare oppose them.
BRASIDIANS
: T3 barracks: These Helots earned their freedom in exchange for military service to the Spartans.
ATTENDANTS
: City Garrison Only: The prospect of engaging in battle is unthinkable to most Greek women; these are not most Greek women.
PERIOIKOI CAVALRY
: Replaces Light Cavalry and Hippeus: Mounted combat is not the forte of the Spartans, so this, like many things, is left to the Perioikoi.

Vanilla units enabled for Sparta:

HEROES OF SPARTA
: T5 Barracks: If all Spartans are heroes, how awe-inspiring are their heroes?
GORGO'S SKIRMISHERS
: T2 barracks: "Come back with this shield, or on it..."

NEW SPARTAN ABILITY:

TO THE DEATH!
: unlocked for all units at T5 Barracks: The people of Lacedaemon are forged in fire, and when pressed, even lowly Helots can fight with the courage of ten. For 2 minutes, this unit cannot move, cannot break, and gains bonuses to melee attack, melee defence, and missile block chance.

Notes:

- Sparta had the best vanilla roster by far (it was the only unique one besides Persia lol), so they get the fewest units of the "big 4," but quality over quantity has always been the theme of Sparta ;)
- Arcadian Warriors are also available for Argos and Elis.
- Spartan Youths and Heroes of Sparta have received reskins :)

Note: all of my mods are totally free to use, including any assets in them, as long as credit is given :) We are stronger together as a mod community. Happy modding!

It would be cool to add them to the Grand Campaign, some for Sparta, others for the European Hellenic Realms

wish this dude would update it the reskins and everything look sick, don't know if he just forgot of it or he Abandoned the mod,

The mod still loads, (whether on top of the load order or further down), but the units do not show up, that is, they are invisible on the battlefield, bar their leader and the standard bearer. I hope I am not missing anything obvious. I am using the textures mod.

Please update. Looks very good, but currently unusable. Thanks.

yep the naked spartan hoplites look really.....questionable.

Hi is there any way to revert the texture change for spartan hoplites? It doesnt really fit the theme of the faction, and it really doesnt make sense that they are practically naked

Hi there, I've been trying to download this mod very hard but for some reason's, even when I am subscribed to it, the mod won't work in-game, does anyone have an answer to this problem?

You should add these units to the grand campaign mate
