Historically Inaccurate New Sparta Units – No DLC Required

Changelog

Historically inaccurate new units. These units have been added to increase Sparta’s roster diversity. They share stats with similar units in the game and are accessible at similar tech levels, so take from that what you will.

Like my mod, but hate the trousers? Try this.

This mod complements my Greek States reskin.

These new units do not require additional DLC on top of the Greek States Culture Pack (which is required to have Sparta as a playable faction) and will otherwise always remain DLC-free. The DLC version may feature additional assets (such as female units).

See the discussions area for current unit stats.

Where to Find them

Beside each unit there is a level and the building required to recruit. All units are available for custom battles.

Compatibility

Tested with: Patch 19

As with all of my current and upcoming new unit projects, it only uses vanilla or new assets to maintain a small size and compatibility. In addition, all units use their own unique IDs and table names. So unless another mod copies those details, it’s highly unlikely to cause problems.

Future

• Melee/shock cavalry unit.

Postscript

Problems or requests? Leave me a comment.

To reiterate the opening line: it doesn’t prescribe to any notions of historical accuracy. So beware, there is none of that to be found here.
