I must get that library as soon as I can,but with that weakness,uf it will be interesting

Upgradable Features: (Requierments not met)
Assembly Area (Spartiates) Level 1:
Spartiates, the full citizens of Sparta, had their own assembly area where they gathered for civic and military discussions. This was a space where important decisions concerning the state were made collectively by the Spartan citizens.
Upgradable Features: (Requierments not met)
Barracks (Syssitia) Level 1:
Spartiates lived in barracks-like structures known as syssitia, where they ate, slept, and trained together. This communal living reinforced the bonds between warriors and contributed to the collective spirit of the Spartan military.(there is available space of 320 in Barracks out of 500)

Blacksmith (chalkeùs) Level 1:
These blacksmiths were skilled metalworkers who crafted items from metals such as bronze and iron. They played a crucial role in producing weapons, armor, tools, and various implements needed for everyday life in ancient Spartan society. The work of blacksmiths was highly valued, especially in the context of the military, where well-crafted weapons and armor were essential for the effectiveness of soldiers in battle.

Agora (Helots) Level 1:
Helots, the state-owned serfs who worked the land, also had their own section of the Agora. However, their lives were marked by hardship, as they were subjugated to Spartan citizens and served as a labor force.

"Additional Building and features will be unlocked,due to your small level of city,you must worked hard to increase your level of city mighty hero,good luck!".Said the system with its golden letters.
"that did not make me feel better but,its only a begging,i hope it will get better,no it will get better".Alexios promised himself that he would beat this system,even if he lost arm,because of it,"oh there is those advantages,disadvantages in case i would forget".
Strengths:
Elite Infantry: Spartans are renowned for their unparalleled discipline and combat skills. Elite hoplites, trained from a young age, form the backbone of the Spartan army, excelling in defensive formations and powerful offensive strikes.
Military Discipline: A rigid military-focused society ensures unmatched discipline and order. Spartan armies benefit from increased morale, reduced maintenance costs, and swift response times.
Agrarian Resilience: Spartan lands are efficiently organized, with well-maintained agoge-focused farms. Agricultural technologies and policies ensure a robust food supply, even in harsh conditions.
Laconic Economy: The Spartan economy is streamlined and focused on military needs. Unique policies allow for faster recruitment, cheaper maintenance of military units, and efficient resource allocation.
Weaknesses:
Limited Cultural Development: The single-minded focus on military strength may lead to slower advancements in cultural, scientific, and artistic endeavors.
Diplomatic Challenges: Spartan diplomacy is often perceived as aggressive and domineering. Forming alliances and maintaining positive relations may prove challenging.
Helot Strain: The reliance on slave labor (helots) poses challenges in resource acquisition. Unrest among helots may lead to internal strife if not managed carefully.
Naval Inferiority: Spartan naval capabilities are not as advanced as their land forces. Competing in maritime conflicts requires strategic alliances or careful development of naval technologies.
Now that i think of it,i have only 500 Helots,witch is not much.Its painfully low compared how many people lives here,but i will solve that later.Only 20 Hippeis.Not great not terrible,200 Spartan Youths which is somewhat great.For defense purposes they are great,Spartan Youths have good training like every male Spartan,after a few battles they would become regular Hoplites,but that takes a lot of time.For now they would be Garrisoned in city and guard it.
That's what i am talking about baby,60 Spartan Hoplites,Hoplite stand for heavily armed infantry soldier,this must be that strength 'Elite Infantry' in my Civilization screen.Those guys are beast,and the fact that i got 60 of them is insanely good.What about those other 2 strengths Laconic Economy and Agrarian Resilience?.
"yawn,well i think about all of this tomorrow,time to sleep..finally after all this,there is nothing that good night sleep could not solve"Alexios said now laying on the bed and immediately closed his eyes,new day is waiting for him.
"i even kept my armor on,i was too tired to care,now i pick my helmet and lets go to barracks!" said Alexios with enthusiasms "wait i don't have map or anything,no matter the guards will escort me,its not like they would let me go alone right?" said Alexios with smile,he could not wait to start building his army.Alexios opened wooden doors and saw his Hippeis stood firm in attention upon noticing the sound of opening doors "Guards,escort me to barracks,i must prepare for the upcoming war and see the state of my Hoplites" once again with a voice that could,give someone heart attack just because of the might of his voice that was coming out.
"it shall be done my king" said Heppei on the left,with his calm voice who was wielding in his left hand bronze shield and in the right spear.They were coming to the place where yesterday hot discussion took place,they turn right to hall that was made by marble once again there were paintings,and statues as we walked before us was crossroads,i think they are other rooms and i don't see any signs,well i will sniffed this palace up side down after my business in Barrack is done.
We were still walking straightforward blinding light was shinning on me,after few seconds my eyes adapt to the beams of light and i was standing in front of the palace gates, the morning sun casts a warm glow on my stoic face,while i still wear the iconic crimson cloak, a symbol of Spartan authority, draped over my broad shoulders,attire is practical, reflecting the militaristic culture of Sparta, with a bronze helmet atop of my head.
As i walked down i saw buildings that are modest, constructed for functionality rather than grandeur.The narrow streets are bustling with citizens, soldiers, and artisans, all contributing to the communal strength of the city.It was beautiful site of living and peaceful city,but Alexios knew if he did not give it its best,it would be end not just for him,but all of Sparta."it looked and feels too realistic,this is not a game but living world,i almost feel like i was born and raised here".Dead body that's what i am in real world,i am propbally still in denial but its a fact,..aagh..fuck it i am really pathetic,this kind of thinking can kill me again.No i am dead,that's in the past,this is future where i must think forward.
"This city its full of life,and if those Korithians want war,i will give them war" said Alexios with resolution,he is now ready to more than fight for his second life,he will kill,destroy,burn,seal,and vanquish everyone and everything to protect himself and this city in this new and strange World.
