Ancient Wars: Sparta

Gripping storyline based on realistic historical settings



Recreate the epic history of Spartans, Persians and Egyptians in three vast campaigns in Ancient Wars: Sparta.  Fight for supremacy in the Eastern Mediterranean, using each nation's specific powers in large scaled battles.  Use environmental effects like wind and fire to your strategy advantage.   Instruct your workers to gather resources while you upgrade your defenses with manned city walls, siege weapons, cavalry and even battleships.

Sparta is based on the history of the ancient ages and their main nations.  Spartans, Persians and Egyptians are fighting for influence around Little Asia, Europe and North America.  Historical correct timeline is 500 to 300 BC and the action takes place with different campaigns for all three races.  Sparta represents 3D, strategy in real time with the new developed Ancient Wars Engine (AWE), where the player will have to use each nations powers to be superior over other competitors and build  up a driving and ruling fraction.

The main emphasis is on large-scaled battles and complex tactical manoeuvres.  Additional to this, a new method of army equipment is represented.  Warriors can be equipped with weapons and shields, can be put on horses or on chariots and be given special abilities.  The player can collect abandoned weapons after battles or import powerful weapons from other cultures to build more powerful and different special units.  Additionally the forces of nature are very important, because fire, find etc. will affect the whole environment.  Cities can be upgraded (e.g., turned to fortresses), workers gather resources to ensure the economic part.  Sparta offers every aspect RTS gamers like.
