Hello! Each and every player in Sparta: War of Empires can reach TOP positions. That, however, requires a lot of time, Resources, Units, and considerable effort. Alternatively, you can use a special Resource - Drachmas - to develop your City and increase military power to dominate the map. Everyone can get Drachmas for free simply playing the game actively, i.e. participating in Tournaments, capturing Emporia, completing quests and Achievements, etc. 

Some players decide in favor of in-app purchases to save time. It allows them to progress a little faster. Sparta: War of Empires is free-to-play, and like any other game of this type it gives all players free access to all game features and an opportunity to accelerate their progress with in-app purchases. It is not unfair that players taking this route, thus supporting the development of the game, enjoy certain advantages. Again, all these advantages may be summarized in one word - time. It takes less time to advance but does not change the core of what every player needs to do to develop their City and grow military power.

All we See Coiners with more than 100.000 Agemas

A Normal Player can train 290 Agema per Month Maximum.

To Train 100.000 we need 100.000/290/12= only 28.8 Years

time is money

thats why to train troops, in this game,you need a life or a few

you can win free drachmas by placing well in tourneys ... only you can not place if you dont spend on drachma and upgrade your city, articles, and generals gear

you can win free drachmas by holding emporia - only you can not hold them for 5 mins even if you are a coiner - non coiners without above listed upgrades are cannon fodder

you can win free drachmas if you complete quest and achievements - but they are borked -  you only get one a day and many need above listed upgrades to complete them
