Ancient Wars - Spartan ruin your money!
The most annoying thing about Ancient Wars - Spartan is economy system. It's too unbalanced. Gold is the most important resources but it's also the lowest speed resources builders can gather. Your unit, your building are way too expensive. That's why it leads to the consequences: low-paced gameplay, which is the worst thing one RTS game can offer.
You can customnaize your unit - choose the weapon and shield, horse for the unit as you like. But, since it's too expensive even for the lowest level warrior, you will have to wait for a long time before you can enjoy the fight.
The fight is not better due to path-finding problem, your best warrior will run around finding a place to fight while arrows fill his armor.
The Graphics and sound are low quality. It's like a game 2 years ago.
This is the game I recomment you should'n buy.
