Total Awards : 1. My Neighbour is my enemy, my allie is my enemy i dont trust A war fought for security is just, anything else is Mass Murder Re: spartans do not ask how many, only where the enemy are On q.Re: spartans do not ask how many, only where the enemy are.

But unlike the Lord, the market does not forgive those who know not what they do.Re: spartans do not ask how many, only where the enemy are They have about 6 shield, I believe, so they aren't THAT vunlerable to missiles.I've had a whole lot of enemies shooting at them, and they took minimal casualties about 5 spartans for every volley from about decent archers. Their main weakness is that they are only recruitable in Sparta and Syracuse, and even though both of these cities are PERFECT for doing nothing but churning out these red devils, and are very centric on the map, that means it's hard to put many stacks of them.As for large numbers of them, they are unkillable. Put them in Phalanx and put them in a circle, and there's nothing that can touch them. I've had first Cohorts and Urban Cohorts, lots of archers, horse archers they run out of arrows while there are still too many Spartans , cav, anything under the sun.If you eliminate their one weakness flanking attacks , they are unbeatable. That said, the AI doesn't put them in the Baseball Diamond of Doom, so you may not have to worry about it. If you hit them from behind or the side, they are very much killable.It may take you a couple Cohorts, but they will go down. Or, alternatively, charge them from behind with cav. But just be glad of them as Greek Cities, and be glad that there aren't a lot of them as anyone else.Spartans are truly the best that the ancient world has to offer.

Re: spartans do not ask how many, only where the enemy are actually the diamond is super vulnerable if you aim archers at the units not facing you also roman javelins do a bit of damage.Re: spartans do not ask how many, only where the enemy are I have beaten them with Urban Cohorts, but that was by engaging them from their front, and hitting them from the flanks or behind with another. Also, toward the end of a battle after they are somewhat exhausted and their numbers depleted, you can rout them with a fresh unit of Legionary Cohorts.Keep in mind though, that when I build; blacksmiths, armorers and foundries have a high priority. Retraining to upgraded armor and weapons is also a high priority. I even will shift an army from one city to another to maximize the overall weapons and armor of the entire army, not just fragments here and there.I don't know if the AI actually retrains units, but by the fact that they will send depleted units at me with copper weapons and no upgraded armor when they have a large city with an armorer nearby would be an indication to me that it does not. Playing as Greeks last night, the Egyptians attacked me several times with full stacks with minimal armor and inferior weapons.Then, to my unbelief, they sent another stack with 19 units but they were only half strength or less. Most of them did not even have copper armor.They just got dead! I really must emphasize that weapons and armor upgrades are worth the cost, even against Spartan Hoplites. Strength and Honor Celt Centurion. Re: spartans do not ask how many, only where the enemy are I don't think, for purposes of the game itself, that the Spartans are over-powered.When you think about it, the Greek faction has lousy cavalry. And Heavy Peltasts do not make up for the lack of same. The strength of the Greek faction is in its hoplites - the armored and the spartans. If it didn't have these, they would be a pushover for almost any faction. Macedonians have lots of cav options.And the Roman equites are about the best 'basic' non-elite cavalry unit in the game. Both the strength and the weakness of any hoplite based army is the phalanx itself. Attack it from its side or rear, and you will break it. So without the Spartans, the Greeks don't have much to compensate for them. It behooves players of all non-Roman factions to wipe the Romans off the board before the Marius event.Once the Romans start getting serious legionaries and Praetorians, the Spartans lose some of their competitive edge. That said, Spartans are ahistorical in this time frame of the game. Sparta was long past its prime by BC. They had been decisively whipped by the Thebans even before the rise of Alexander. Philip II, Alexander's father, had studied his opponents and made real improvements and adaptations in both infantry and cavalry warfare.  

Spartans dont ask how many but where they are

      As he was walking toward his fishing spot, he looked back at his car and saw it rolling up hill. He thought that ghosts were pushing the car, and his story spread all over the town and other people started trying it. Some folks thought that there was a big magnetic meteor buried beneath the hill that defied the local law of gravity. Many other theories popped up over the years; some credited supernatural causes, others tried to explain the mystery scientifically.The fact is that the natural terrain and vegetation alongside the road is responsible for the illusion. Don't let that fact spoil your fun. Just believe your lying eyes. A private group has raised money to build a new monument to replace the old sign on the site.The City Council decided the Indian story was the real deal, and approved a conceptual design that includes a Seminole chief and an alligator.

That is how Spook Hill came to be named. The story said Gimme retired from plundering in beautiful Lake Wales.His trusted aid, Teniente Vanilla, was buried at the foot of the hill. The newspaper clipping said that the captain was awakened after a man stopped his car at the foot of the hill. When the school first opened, principal James W. Cooper struggled to get transcripts for transferring students. Apparently, other institutions saw the name and thought they were being pranked. Cooper was responsible for bringing in Casper as the mascot.He wrote to Harvey Comics asking to use it for the school. They bundled Spook Hill in the same trip as a visit to a nearby haunted home.They detected no electromagnetic activity at the attraction. Perhaps Henry Ferguson, a visitor in the s, told it to The Ledger best. By the time I finished my research and headed back to Spook Hill, the sky was drizzly and pale. Dare I say: It looked spooky. Maybe if I could watch others visit, I could pick up on the secret. I ordered a sandwich to go on the way over, bracing myself for a long stakeout.But the line was two cars long when I reached Spook Hill. I watched the first, a gray sedan, gradually approach the line before stopping and rolling back. They braked just before the sign. Then, the car drove forward to leave, driving even slower as they reached the top of the hill.The woman in the passenger seat held up her phone to film. The driver threw his hands in the air. They started their day at Bok Tower and ended at Spook Hill. Eason shared a few pointers before heading back for one more attempt.As his car rolled back, he flashed a big grin and a thumbs up. Then they left. My turn. This time, I put my car in neutral and then peeled my hands from the wheel, hoisting them up above my ears. Instead of just releasing the brake, I took my foot completely off the pedal.I stared straight ahead. Not looking up at the top of the hill. Not peering back. The further back I rolled, the more the road looked like it was curving up. It felt like I was being yanked back, rising higher and higher as I got closer to the sign and finally rolled past it. Expressed through signage, advertising brochures, and even a locally-produced play, the legends of Spook Hill are an excellent example of the craft of legend-building applied to a local tourist attraction.With an expansive lore consisting of a series of narratives which increasingly connected the site to the pivotal aspects of Florida history, the stories of Spook Hill show the ways that successful branding imbued a site with increased meaning and appeal. One legend explains that a Florida pirate Captain Sasparilla is buried at the hill and pushes cars away. Another legend claims that the spirit of a giant alligator inhabits the area.
