(A great place to find out more is the Cultural Groups page on the Wiki). Incidentally, if you like Hellenic warfare, there are more Hellenic-style factions than you might have thought. The Hannibal at the Gates pack gives us the Arevaci, the Lusitani and Syracuse (in the Grand Campaign) and adds a separate Hannibal campaign. I'm assuming I'll need the Greek states culture pack? Btw how is Macedon's campaign?Īlso, what is the difference between Grand campaign and Empire divided except the unit cards/factions/faction rosters? There doesn't seem to be any Greek factions in Empire Divided - cause of the timeline I guess?The Greek states pack makes Athens, Epirus and Sparta playable in the Grand Campaign (the Wrath of Sparta doesn't unlock factions for the Grand Campaign, it makes available a separate campaign). I only see Massilia and Macedon in the grand campaign. This can be a challenging campaign to survive, as your starting position can make it difficult to stay out of a war between the big powers, Rome can be eager to take over your home region and there aren't neighbouring small nations to easily expand into. This puts you in between Rome and Carthage, you could side with either big power against the other or try to stay out of it and expand elsewhere. If that sounds too easy, you could try Syracuse. When you become the main power in Greece as Athens, there's another choice: if Rome is expanding (and perhaps heading for the Marian reforms), do you invade Italy before Rome becomes too powerful (perhaps allying with Massilia) or go east (Hellenic factions seem well-suited to going east)? You can team up with Sparta against Epirus and Macedon, or remain loyal to Macedon (and, when you have expanded, negotiate with Macedon to become an ally instead of a client state). If you enjoy strategy, I recommend Athens and Syracuse in the Grand CampaignĪthens is interesting, for me, because you start as a client state of Macedon so you need to decide how to deal with this. And despite the good nature of the current relations with Egypt, the old rivalry is bound to continue, one way or another, until only one of them remains.As Spyrith said, Massilia and Sparta are fun options. Another possibility would be to strike the Arabian Peninsula to gain control over the spice trade and increase further their economic potential. From their position, they could choose to eliminate the threat from their arch-enemy Axum once and for all. The Kushite royalty would sit on the throne and rule with authority and conviction to protect Nubia's riches - even the Romans could not conquer Meroe and preferred to trade instead.Ī regional powerhouse with plenty of natural treasures and fertile land, Kush is well equipped to prosper and once again vie for power against the mightiest empires in the world. The moving of the capital also marked something of a break, away from Egyptian culture, with Hellenistic, Indian, Persian and African influences instead making their way through trade routes. In the early 3rd century BC, King Ergamenes decided to wrestle power away from the priests of Amun, moving his capital from Napata to Meroe, where the priests could no longer decide the fate of Kush's kings and queens. Despite this, the animosity is not one-sided, with Egypt even being ruled by Nubian pharaohs for about a century. A major regional power with vast resources coming from the trade of gold, jewels and exotic hides, Kush has been overshadowed by its more powerful and famous northern neighbour – Egypt.
