Like I said he’s the kind of Leonidas that I wanna see. Rather than a cannon fodder. I’ve been wanted to revamp bronzes since I think they really deserved it. Glad to see my first attempt will captured positive feedbacks. Toast to the Spartans.

My thought on the Spartans losing to cavalries (and forgive me if I said something stupid): in my shallow knowledge I think the spartan, and Persian, are lacking the wisdoms of Art of Wars; they have great strength and formations, but their strategies are not as good as Chinese military, especially in this case where they face Meng Tian, who was a famous general of his time, backed with a Military culture that’s be refined by Suntzu’s Art of Wars. Plus geographical disadvantages, yep all of that (and me!) cost the Spartans of their victory.
