  • Wrath of Sparta

    

    With its vivid representation of the turbulent Greek world in 432BC, Wrath of Sparta places players at the centre of the Peloponnesian Wars, where prosperous Athens has earned the enmity of Sparta, Korinthos and the Boiotian League. The delicate political balance of the Hellenic World has passed a point of no return. The loose alliance against Athenian dominance is potentially undermined by separate agendas, and the mighty Persian Empire awaits an opportunity to turn the turmoil to its advantage.

• Culture Packs

  • Greek States

    

    Adds the Greek States culture and three playable factions to the base campaign: Athens, Epirus, Sparta.

    While united by shared cultural traits, objectives, and new building types, each Greek State faction has unique unit rosters and victory conditions that offer new ways to play each campaign: the Athenian pursuit of enlightenment grants them technological and cultural bonuses; Sparta’s dominance over the Helots allows them to maintain a large slave population; and Epirus enjoys bonuses to settlement exploitation stemming from its origins as a confederation of villages.

    Adds the Nomadic Tribes culture and three playable factions to the base campaign: Roxolani, Massagetae, Royal Scythia.

    Trample the ancient world under hoof, with three powerful new factions galloping out of the steppe. The Roxolani gain wealth from their skills as migrant traders, and as committed conquerors who fight all the harder when in enemy territory. The Royal Scythians are experts with the bow, and enjoy increased wealth through their expert craftsmanship. The fierce independence of the Massagetae leads them to fight harder when defending their own territory, while their tradition of animal husbandry brings increased income from raising livestock.

  • Pirates and Raiders

    

    Adds the Balkan Tribes culture and three playable factions to the base campaign: the Odrysian Kingdom, Aridaei, Tylis.

    Three new raiding-focused factions bring new units, technologies, traits and buildings that allow them to pillage and plunder their unfortunate neighbours. The Illyrians of the Ardiaei favour maritime piracy, the Thracians of the Odrysian Kingdom are excellent archers, while the people of Tylis, descendants of the Celts who migrated into Asia Minor, train their melee infantry recruits to the highest standards.

  • Black Sea Colonies

    

    Adds the Black Sea Colonies culture and three playable factions to the base campaign: Cimmeria, Pergamom, Colchis.

    Originally citizens of the Greek States, these pioneering peoples have settled far from home, intermingling with their host societies to create unique cultures. The Cimmerian Bosphorus is a land rich in resources, exploited by Greek nobles who have drifted from classical democracy to absolute rule. Pergamon’s culture of craftsmen allows them to build efficiently, grow quickly, and recruit mercenaries cheaply when danger approaches. And Colchis is a trading state whose people are now far removed from their Aegean origin, earning them the ire and distrust of all ‘true’ Greeks.

  • Desert Kingdoms

    Four great powers of Africa, Arabia and Numidia enter the fray!
