Slitherine Software sent us a press release announcing
Gates
of Troy, the upcoming expansion pack to their recent historical strategy
game Spartan. According to press release, the expansion will add six new
campaigns (The Trojan Wars, The pass of Thermopylae, Greek Colonization,
Pre-Historic Greece, The Ionian Revolt, Grand Campaign with Rome & Persia), 12
new units ranging from Achilles Myrmidons to Thespian & Theban Hoplites, 17
heroes, and number of new features such as a zoomable campaign map, enhanced
diplomatic options such as the vassalization of smaller nations, the chance to
build the Trojan horse and many more smaller upgrades. Gates of Troy will
initially only be available direct from
Slitherine Software's online shop.
Take command of Leonidas and his 300 Spartans against the mighty Persian horde. The pass of Thermopylae has been re-created on a one for one scale with 300 Spartans, 700 Thespian allies under Demophilus & 400 unreliable Thebans who really didn't want to be there - and can you blame them! This small force stands against the might of the Persian army with wave upon wave of increasingly powerful troops hitting your lines until the mighty Immortals arrive. Xerxes launches attack after attack from his inexhaustible horde and your objective is just to hold the pass long enough for Greece to muster her forces.
