With so much interesting stuff going on in the RTS world, it's really a shame that some people will pick The Spartans up because of either a low price or they like the theme or they like the artwork.

There are a few neat ideas in this template, but none are carried far enough to count as truly interesting and all are saddled by poor technique.
