im The spartans couldn't even OIL UP like they used to. Thank god Laith restored the old practices of OILING UP.

[snowlet]

Great to see you enjoying the Invictus mod, Sparta is a vanilla mission tree only mildly tweaked by us. I believe from one of the DLC's.
We did add the dual monarchy system.

[wyattebersole]

Just a few general tips: You were making so little in the early game because you had so many forts, they have high upkeep. When you totally conquer a nation you can choose to imprison their leaders and then make money off of selling them to slavery, which is a big financial boost early game. Loving the Imperator attention recently!

[gannonpatton]

I've never bought a comment or whatever, and it's not even much, but I'd really enjoy another Sparta video. You got me to play Imperator Rome (with Invictus mod) and have enjoyed it more than any other Paradox game! Cheers! I think it would be cool to see a diminished/ conquered Rome, or Spartan "Byzantium" borders, or a Leonidas's Revenge goal, taking out "Persia" which doesn't really exist in the same facet but, make it like restoring Alexander's borders? Anyway, thanks again!

Btw if you’re wondering where ‘The Besieger’ nickname comes from its a translation of the title ‘Poliorcetes’ given to Demetrios Antigonid(in game he is the heir to the Antigonid kingdom at game start) given to him based on his many innovative siege weapons in his ultimately unsuccesful siege of Rhodes, among these weapons was a 55m long battering ram operated by 1000 men and a 38m tall Siege tower named Helepolis(Taker of Cities), all of these siege weapons were inevitably abandoned when the siege failed and the masses of bronze used in their construction taken by the Rhodians and used to create the famous ‘Colossus’ of Rhodes.

Honestly aside from the nickname Demetrius is probably one of the less capable Diadochi with a mostly unsuccessful military record and a bad reputation due to being a horrendous pervert, famously including an attempt to ‘court’ a young boy that ultimately resulted in the boy killing himself by jumping in a cauldron of hot water in a bath-house to escape Demetrius.

Your enthusiasm almost makes me want to give Imperator another try

[alexh]

That Spartan mission tree is in the base game

[thespaceman]

This man’s dedication to bringing back imperator is INSANE!

[ffreeze]

Are you aware of fort infrastructure capacity? Each province by default has 5, each level 1 fort adds 3 and upgrading those forts adds an extra 1 per level. Going above it increases maintenance cost by a lot. That's why you were bleeding so much money after taking Argos, the province was at 16/5 before destroying the forts. After it was still at 9/5 since you had three forts in the province

[iquabakaner]

Siege engineers +1 is a good tech to get. It's like giving one siege pip to all your sieges. You get 3 in total in the middle tree in military, and 1 in the rightmost tree.

Zlewikk (put it online a few hours ago) and Alton (some days ago) are playing Spartans too rn. But your campaign is way better (I really liked that you conquered Crete) and far more interesting - the early expansion, the fights against Macedonia and Rome, just great to watch. I would love to see a second part. Your video really motivates me to start Imperator: Rome myself.

[litadahl]

A bit late, but any culture you dont plan to integrate it's a good idea to use the setup colony decision. It settles some of your core pops in one of their pop centers and increases assimilation there, creating a pop center that's just more loyal in recently conquered provinces alongside increasing levies.

[Gamereal]

THIS IS SPARTA!
Joke aside, that was pretty impressive with their space marine units, you could just bat them away like flies. Funny playthrough, please do more of you want! 😊

Here is some funni for you:
Laith:"We dont need those forts, my navy will protect me"
Also Laith:"I wish I had more forts, sad really" 😑

[Pontxo]

Hi Laith. Thanks for trying to bring back Imperator. I never stopped playing, I have 2000 hours in the game and I almost have all the achievements (yeah, I am lazy with partial world conquests). I completed my first Pax Aeterna in 2021 as Rome, with no weird shenanigans, pure pain. My usual start as Sparta is to conquer Crete and then the Peloponnese. Today I tried attacking Messenia first and it works 😂

[AverageLadd]

Imperator Rome grindset keeps on going. Acta, non verba.

[arcanus]

It's crazy that this game has actually ended up being good

[KA-zohe]

I like how Laith moved pops from Megalopolis and then said "they kind of drained out of there"

[grover]

I LOVE PLAYIN SPARTA! The hug box is real but is beatable! THIS IS SPARTA!!!

[lalthamuon]

Words said by laith, "Everyone is going to hate us but it's worth it"
