I loved playing as Sparta in the DEI campaign, but I felt that if you’re restoring Sparta to its glory days and beyond then her units should match in impressiveness. After all, Spartans have their reputation to consider.

My aim with this mod was to preserve the spirit of the DEI base game while enhancing the experience of restoring a failing Spartan nation. As you take Sparta through the course of a DEI campaign, Spartan units will become more impressive and intimidating with each set of social reforms.

All told, this is a very simple and basic set of tweaks to the appearance of Spartan units in the main DEI campaign based on my own personal tastes. Given the lack of available up-to-date Sparta reskin mods for DEI on the workshop, I decided to make my own and share it here on the off-chance that someone else finds themselves searching for the same.

No stats are changed, these are graphical changes only.

The images show each of the changed units and are in the following order:

• Hippeis
• Neohomoioi Thorakitai Hoplitai
• Neohomoioi Hoplitai
• Perioikoi Hoplitai (all Perioikoi units were changed to share the style of armor and helmets seen here)
• Neohomoioi Phalangitai
• Neohomoioi Thorakitai
• Skiritai Machairaphoroi
• Symmachoi Thureophoroi Machairaphoroi (same appearance as Skiritai Machairaphoroi, except for the shields)
• Helots (all Helot units were changed, but the only change was to remove the wide-brimmed farmer’s hat and increase the frequency of bandannas instead)

Note: Homoioi Hoplitai not shown as they’re nearly unchanged from base DEI. I only removed the appearance of Phrygian helmets and replaced them with more of the other Greek helmets.

Requires Divide Et Imperia. (unless you like disembodied armor and body parts going to war on their own…)

Since these are only graphical changes, this should be compatible with any other DEI mods as long as they don’t affect Spartan unit appearances (if they do, this mod should still work as long as the .pack file comes first in the load order).
