Major Improvements[]

  • New factions: Athens, Sparta, Macedon, Persia, India and China.
  • Old factions age going to be slightly modified, but will remain the same in general.
    • All Carthaginian units (except generals and elephants), +500 HP;
    • All basic archers, +5 attack and +5 defense;
    • Archer Woman, Triple Hit;
  • New units for all factions (except Germania);
  • New order at the Temple of Osiris: Testament of the Gods; it costs 2000 gold, requires Offering to Osiris, and when active, all heroes of level 12 or above gain a Golden Ankh (+500 health and +8 defense);
  • Soundtrack from historic thematic movies and games (Alexander, Gladiator, Europa Universalis, Rome Total War, Sparta etc.) may be included, recreating the specific atmosphere of the period.
  • Major factions will no longer have "generic" heroes. Minor ones are to keep them, but they will also have at least one historical personality.
  • Campaigns will most likely start with Philip's invasion in Thrace and Hellas and will end with Marcus Aurelius' Vindobonna campaign (approximately 350BC - 180AD) for maximum historical accuracy. There may be some additional battles before and after the selected period.
  • New formations and special abilities - pilum throw for most Roman infantry, syntagma (phalanx) for all phalangites, testudo for legionary infantry. Also cuneal formation (normal and reverse) is featured.
