Ancient Wars: Sparta
The popular game Ancient Wars: 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 Africa. The action takes place in the historically correct timeline between 500-450 BC, 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 nation's powers to be superior over other competitors and rule supreme.
