**Thanks man much appreciated and your right, I doubt the spartan’s cared about slaves (helots) being killed at all.**

**Edit: Im having a bit of trouble, I did everything you said and nothing showed up, and yes I did put the stoneheart folder into the zip and renamed it to a smod so any ideas?**

Looks pretty cool! Maybe you could contrast with a bronze version with a red frill?

Looks awesome! I remember playing the original AoE all those years ago, and it kind of reminds me of this:

Now they just need to implement a new combat mechanic, this time for defense. And I feel a spartan phalanx would go well here. Maybe have the heart lungs pair up if possible to watch each others backs.

A quick google suggests all three look a little un-kopis-like 😛 😄

> **[Kopis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopis)**
>
> The term kopis (from Greek κοπίς, plural kopides from κόπτω – koptō, "to cut, to strike"; alternatively a derivation from the Ancient Egyptian term khopesh for a cutting sword has been postulated) in Ancient Greece could describe a heavy knife with a forward-curving blade, primarily used as a tool for cutting meat, for ritual slaughter and animal sacrifice,\[citation needed\] or refer to a single edged cutting or "cut and thrust" sword with a similarly shaped blade. The kopis sword was a one-hand...

Of the three you’ve done though, the one of the left is most like the images my googling turned up.
