Talk:Spartan: Total Warrior

message: I have the game manuel for this right here in front of me, and nowhere in it or the game itself does it specify that the "King Leonidas" within it is actually Leonidas II. Since at least one person on this talk page is intently opposed to a Historical Innacuracies section, which I still believe should be present, I'm removing the "II" from it. If anyone can find a source, feel free to revert it back, but if that's the case, the reason for the addition of a Historical Innacuracies section has been otherwise justified. Furthermore, if said historical innacuracies of the game aren't worth bringing up, why should it even link to any historical individuals? I'll leave the links to the articles of Tiberius, Sejanus, Crassus, and Leonidas I (who is likely the ahistorical Leonidas portrayed in this game) for a month or so, but if nobody gives any logical reason for their inclusion, I'm gonna remove the links.
It's gotta be one way or the other, folks, not both.
Also, I'm adding Archimedes to the allies list because he's a pivotal character in the Athens level. And as for Persians being in the Roman camp level, I seriously doubt it, but I'll leave that until I or someone else finds out for sure.Spartan198 (talk) 14:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

text: 4.224.105.131, I will report this article for vandalism if you don't stop deleting this discussion page and reverting that inane historical inaccuracies section.--71.112.234.168 09:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I've edited most parts of the article, especially the "Historical Accuracy" Section.  Other than to point out inaccuracies, there is no need to go into great detail.  If people will want to know about how Spartan and Roman history actually occurred, they can go to the articles related to those topics.
Similarly, for the "Mythical creatures" section, I figured it was unnecessary to describe the creatures if there is a link to the detailed article about the creature immediately available.  Also, while something like a priestess may be a part of Greco-Roman culture, it is obviously not a mythical creature.  Finally, I changed the "Facts" section to "Trivia," and made some grammar and phrasing changes. Longstreet87 00:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Historical Accuracy 

message: Judging from the this talk page there have been many attempts to clean up the ridiculously long-winded and unnecessary 'historical accuracy' bit. Things like Hitler's enthusiasm for Spartan customs are frankly comedic and the fact that the game never pretends to use history as anything other than a good framework for a hollywood story invalidates its' inclusion. A few lines about how the very scenario depicted in the story is historically implausable and a few links to the pages on Spartan customs etc. is more than sufficient. I'll try and delete all the crap and clean it up next week. Edders 22:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The historical accuracy section needs to go

message: This section is particularly pointless: No where in the game were any of these facts on Spartan up-bringing contradicted. To say that the Spartans could not act heroically because Hitler admired them is absurd. Also, I seem to remember a line almost identical to “Come back with your shield, or come back on it” appearing in the game.
You'll find no argument here - nobody has yet offered any explanation for why the section should be retained except for continually reverting the article and deleting the talk page. Edders 16:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Population Profiles 

message: I'm not college-educated on the topic,but as someone who knows a great deal of facts concerning ancient Sparta and classical / hellenistic Greek civilization in general, I personally think that the historical accuracy section should be present simply to put into words that the game is NOT intended to be historically accurate. We all know what kind of a fiasco that a certain movie recently caused... SpartanGlory1983 (talk) 17:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
