The Spartans are a tribe of heavy warriors: the unit with the strongest attack in the game, excellent infantry defence, and a great hospital that brings soldiers back to battle.

Strengths

Corinthian Crusher: 195 attack – the strongest attacking unit of all the tribes.
Shieldsman: excellent defence against infantry (85).
Great Hospital (Spartans only): more room for the wounded than a regular hospital, and 50% of the soldiers who fall in battle are wounded (instead of 40%) – they can be healed and return to the army.
Sentinel: a scout that also defends decently.

Special units

Hoplite – attacking infantry that carries 60.
Shieldsman – defensive infantry.
Elpida Rider – strong cavalry defence (120 against infantry, 90 against cavalry) that carries 110.
Corinthian Crusher – the strongest attacking cavalry in the game.

Weaknesses

Expensive units and long training.
Slow merchants (14) that carry little (500).

Who it suits

Experienced players who build a large army slowly and strike hard all at once.
