Anyone got an idea?

Are you saying you are playing as Sparta in a co-op with a player that is Athens and you can't trade with each other?

No I can trade with him, just not other people *Edit

Oh, you have to have a port or have one connected to your capitol by land. Sparta can't trade with anyone other than Athens unless they take Athenai. It's basically a flaw with how trade works, sorry. : /

If spart is taken over by rebels, then i take it back, could it work? Or would it just be made the capital again?

[Tomislav]

I'm pretty sure it makes it your capitol again.

They made Sparta isolated to make their campaign a little harder and more historically authentic, unfortunately it doesn't work well with a Sparta-Athens Co-op campaign.

Dom Starr, Campaign Designer – “Being imprisoned in their own borders is certainly the biggest threat to the Spartan player in my mind. One major weakness is their lack of a trade port in their home region, so maintaining cordial relations with Athens or indeed a decisive strike to take their territory and harbours would be at the front of my mind."

Yep, you need to expand before you can trade.

Well I lost Sparta and Hirapytna became my capital. Still wondering if I take sparta back if it'll be my capital again. Ill lean from mistakes.

Ok so when I took Sparta back it did become my capital again (Not Suprised). I got to keep all my current trade agreements but can't make any more. Solving the situation by allowing rebles to take the city, and my Co-op player to take Sparta for himself.

It's interesting that you got to keep the trade agreements.
Hope you have fun with the rest of your campaign, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You were enough help, without your words we were going to restart and I was going to be pergamon.

If you make Athens your client state, it should work, maybe even vice-versa, then send money to your co-op partner.
