For centuries the powerful Assyrian Empire ravaged the east. Expanding further and further gaining more territory for their great god Ashur. But in 612 BC the alliance of Cyaxares the Great ended their rule, starting an age of peace and rebuild. Now the most powerful states in the east are mistrusting each other. War is brewing again and a long defeated enemy might return in an other form. In the heart of Asia a rebellion has began against the Median Empire. Persia under the command of Cyrus II seeks to find itself an empire and to crush all those that oppose him.
This mod transfers you back to 553 BC, the end of the Iron Age. It is an total overhaul on battles and campaign mechanics. Armor and shields are far more important than in vanilla. As in campaign controlling an Empire is challenging. Play as:The Chaldean Empire, The Median Empire, The Lydian Empire, The Egyptian Kingdom, Persia, Athens, Sparta, Greek Black Sea Colonies, Cyrenaica, Dahae, Royal Scythia or Kilikia.
Making these mods costs me a lot of time (I have over 2000 hours) without getting anything in return. So please feel free to support me ($1 is enough) So that I will be able to finish at least the Xenephon campaign. Which will be a beast!

Cyrus Battle Tournament
Im organising a cyrus the great battle tournament this summer. Any player of any level is allowed to join. The mod is better balancend than Rome II vanilla in the way that now an army of elites is capable of destroying an army of levies equal in cost. This makes the battle a lot more strategic. Further certain other aspects of battle mechanics are changed. Im doing this because its fun and for an analysis on my battle mechanics for the upcoming update.
