[@UltikanaRe] I control the Assembly according to the decisions made, and achievements/defeats placed at the feet of the players, as well as taking into account the more 'general' feeling across the board; one example would be if you lost a naval battle and wanted to try again immediatly, a move likely to be blocked by the pro-peace party but supported by the pro-war supporters and so forth.

[@Sven the Silent] If that is truly the case, do you think it even wise to be controlling Sparta at all? If your attentions are split, and you have your own RP to run, would it not be better to give Sparta over to someone with the time on their hands to use one of the two biggest powers in the war, then take on a smaller nation/city-state perhaps?

Isn't you controlling the assembly a tad unfair, being everybody else gets to control their own nations? Also, please read the link I provided for political parties and the lack thereof in Athens.
