New Civilizations and Authentic Setting As part of the expansion, players get access to three ancient civilizations (available in Unranked mode): the Athenians, masters of naval power and political finesse, whose fleets and economy dominate the Aegean Sea. Their unique units focus on defending sea trade routes and advanced battle tactics. The Spartans – steadfast warriors with iron discipline. Their infantry, led by elite hoplites, are a paragon of courage and effectiveness in hand-to-hand combat. The Spartans are based on simplicity, strength and pure determination. Achaemenids (Persians) – a powerful empire stretching from Asia Minor to the Indus, capable of maintaining huge armies and advanced logistics. Their strength lies in the variety of troops and impressive siege units. The game has been completely redesigned in terms of visuals – the new graphics are inspired by the art of classical antiquity. 55 new land units, 19 ship types, and 85 unique buildings faithfully capture the atmosphere of the era, from monumental temples to the rugged fortifications of Sparta.
