The Spartans and Their Advantages

The Spartans are renowned for their military-focused society, where warfare is a way of life. From early childhood, Spartans are trained in combat and discipline — their entire culture revolves around strength, endurance, and unity on the battlefield.

While they can construct defensive walls, Spartans rely primarily on their elite troops for protection. Their soldiers are powerful, efficient, and resilient, making them exceptional in the late game, when resources and troop quality matter most.

Training Spartan units takes time and investment, but their crop efficiency and combat strength make them a formidable force once their armies are built.

The Spartans are best suited for experienced or patient players who prefer a long-term, strategic approach and powerful endgame armies.


Playstyle Tips

  • Focus on late-game development — Spartan troops are expensive and slow to train, but incredibly strong once ready.

  • Maintain steady resource production early on to support high training costs later.

  • Use your Asclepeion to recover troops efficiently after battles.

  • Combine offensive and defensive tactics — Spartans can adapt to both roles with proper planning.
