Spartan Description
Spartan takes you back 2000 years to the Classical Era and allows you to play anyone of over 100 authentically researched Nations. All of the major factions are portrayed in the game, from the Romans to the Persian hosts under the Great King Xerxes. Put yourself in control of one of the many successful city-states that abounded at the time and try to control the known world through a mix of research trade and naval power.

Alternatively take control of Sparta, one of the most feared military machines of all time. At the age of 7 all healthy male children were sent to military school where they where trained for the next thirteen years to become soldiers, the sickly ones were simply left in the hills to die. Even then it was not until they had become seasoned veterans and racked up another 10 years military service that they became 'Equals'. Not surprisingly her neighbours believed that Sparta had only one aim, to train for war and to fight the wars she trained for.

Are you Equal to the task?
Spartan is the third in a series of Empire-building strategy games that include the best-selling Legion and Chariots of War, and has been nominated as a finalist at the International Games Festival 2004 in California this March.

Spartan contains many improvements and enhancements over the previous two games and features:
  • Over 100 historically researched nations, each with a varying number of settlements and city improvements, utilizing 9 different resources such as Gold, Marble, Copper and Grain, all portrayed on a fully rendered and authentically accurate campaign map of ancient Greece around 400BC.
  • Designed by Iain McNeil a Double World Champion at tabletop strategy gaming.
  • Spies and diplomats that can broker trade deals, non-aggression pacts, alliances and undertake covert operations.
  • Philosophers and scientists able to research dozens of different technologies.
  • A reactive stock market that allows players to trade or buy resources.
  • Heroic leaders to inspire soldiers and lead armies in the field with over 40 different troop types across 10 ethnic and cultural groups with the option to fight interactive battles on a 3D map.
  • Besiege your enemy's cities before assaulting them, but beware of the ferocious Greek Fire that they are sure to hurl down from the city walls as your forces attack.
  • A new multiplayer option which incorporates an unique AAM (always active multiplayer) feature for two players over LAN or GameRanger
  • Roman, Persian or barbarian invaders, interspersed with an accurate time line of actual and random events that occur throughout the game
  • Naval movement, battles and amphibious invasions.
  • Dual 2D or 3D mode to suit your machines capabilities.
