Hi AlexHerbert, thank you so much for the video. I will try the "counter" in a few moments. Will report back with the results. Cheers!

Hi Tapothei, thanks for the advice. I tried that as the Seleucids a couple of times, using their champion cavalry melee cataphracts as support, but the Spartiates have x2.5 bonus against any cavalry and they fall like wheat. Ranged cavalry could be one of the options, but it takes a lot of micromanaging. Last time as Germans I tried melee fighters (axemen and clubmen) with their champion healers (who heal and sap enemy hp automatically) and ranged slingers right next to a castle with three times the units and still got crushed. His Spartiates were almost unharmed. It feels like there is no direct counter unit of any sort for them, while they crush cavalry and melee alike...

Hello everyone, I recently resumed playing the new version of 0 AD and would love some help. I am playing with a friend, with ceasefire, who loves using Spartans, while I play as the newly added Germans civilization. So, the games end up as one late game battle. His army mostly consists of promoted elite melee champion Spartiates (300 hp each). I tried to counter this countless times, but the battles are always one-sided. What approach would you take against this late game army (regardless of civilization)? Any advice is truly appreciated.
