Sparta...as a democracy or republic (in Civ terms).
Though the bonus to trade does not fit particularly well, it has two very nice effects if attempting to represent the limits which Sparta suffered under historically.
1) Units "in the field" produce unhappy citizens. Or, to put it another way, risk of helot rebellion.
2) All units cost shields to support. This seriously limits the degree to which Sparta can produce a large military force...which is it should be.
The "units and cities cannot be bribed" is not unfitting, but its probably not much more (if any) historically accurate for Sparta than for any other Greeks.
So, anyone have a thought or two on this irony?
