Thats a shame of human beings accepting such terms and beingvassalized by AI : (
First, to end the war, you don't really need to capture their capital. If you capture all the other regions and beat their armies a few times, eventually you will be able to get peace through diplomacy, so that you can keep all their regions, with the exception of Laconia.
Spartans have good units (Spartan Hoplites) that are assigned high combat values, which, from my expericence, makes Spartans overconfident - they often attacked me with small stacks of their Hoplites, which on paper were stronger than my army (if we count by numerical power value), but got crushed by flaking attacks, because they didn't have enough units to fill the entire front.
Laconia is certainly possible to capture.
It's defended mostly by Spartan Hoplites, which have 5 defense. They get +1 terrain bonus and +1 support bonus from their skirmishers, giving them 7 total power.
If you fill your entire line with Armored Hoplites (5 attack) and Cretan Archers (+3 support bonus), your army is actually stronger (8 power) and should be able to defeat them with good leader and some luck.
If you can't afford Armored Hoplites, Mercenary Hoplites are slightly weaker (4 attack, giving 7 total power), combined with Cretan Archers they are as strong as the defenders. With "Motivate Troops" decision they should be able to beat them.
You can get Cretan Archers by capturing majority of regions in Crete province or by capturing at least one region from that province and then using "Recruit local troops" regional decision on that region (every use gives you 2 Cretan Archers for 100 gold).
every time Sparta came out of peace treaty they war-deced me and Argos, and I am warring with Persia too, dont want to stay my main forces in Greece for long. I assigned small detachments of citizen Hoplite standing in cities near Laconia .
I will leave this final boss after i have entire Asia Minor
