Great map, disappointing campaign. I'm a Greek freak and I haven't played it in months and am in no big hurry to start another campaign. I much prefer playing Greek factions in the Grand Campaign.

You may already know this, but just in case as there's been some confusion to do with Spartan DLCs in Rome II.

There are two Sparta related DLCs:

The first one is Greek States Culture Pack: http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Greek_States_Culture_Pack

http://store.steampowered.com/app/212301/?snr=1_5_9__405

This lets you play Sparta, Athens and Epirus in the main campaign (Grand Campaign,) Custom Battles and Multiplayer (both battles and Multiplayer Grand Campaign,) but not the Wrath of Sparta Campaign.

Note that the Spartan units in this don't have the iconic look you might be expecting, except for the Elite Unit "Heroes of Sparta" and those are capped at I think two. (Long history lesson short, by the time Rome II is set that style of helmet had gone out of fashion.) Though there are probably mods about that change that.

The second one is Wrath of Sparta: http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Wrath_Of_Sparta_Campaign_Pack

http://store.steampowered.com/app/327280/?snr=1_5_9__405

This lets you play Sparta, Athens (and also Korinthos and the Boition League) but ONLY in the Wrath of Sparta campaign, not in the other parts of the game (Grand Campaign, Custom Battles, Multiplayer except for Multiplayer Wrath of Sparta Campaign.)

Hope that helps.

All the Best,

Welsh Dragon.

P.S. If you want to take a look at the various factions and their unit rosters, this fan site is very good and more up to date than the official ones: http://www.honga.net/totalwar/rome2/index.php?l=en&v=rome2

It's my favorite DLC campaign. There's two very good overhaul mods for it. One is called Maximus183 Wrath of Sparta or something like that. The other is like Hellinka which is a very extensive overhaul.

Vanilla is okay, but a lot of people dislike it.

Regardless, a limit to agents IS A MUST whether you play the vanilla version or a modded Wrath of Sparta.
