And a really great opening round. Maybe we're giving too many clues... :laugh:

In the case of Sparta they should go to Sikelia and take Gela with the Proxen early to get food without depending too much in the trade routes. (I guess if I'm the Spartan in a future game, I'd try to do this as a first main goal).
Be careful, if you do this a clever Athenian player may block you with 3/4 units while trying to tax Sikelia in the first or second round, making you unable to return to the continent. And this situation is critical for the Spartan player so early in the game. This is the risk of going to Sikelia too soon.
Depending on your opponent choices it's better to take a polis of Sikelia in the 2nd round (taking instead one of Makedonia and surviving this round with 3 wheat instead of the 6 from Sikelia)...
Too many choices... :D
