Each will have their own “faction traits, unit rosters, challenges and geographical starting point.” You can expect some famous Greek generals and statesmen to be popping up too. But Corinth and Boiotia will be available as options as well. In-keeping with this tighter map, each game turn will represent one month.įour factions will be playable, with the main two being Athens and Sparta. You’ll get an intensely zoomed in map, but one which still has 22 different provinces (78 regions) on it. Wrath of Sparta will concentrate on (as you’d imagine) Ancient Greece and small portions of Asia minor. The start date for this Peloponnesian campaign will be 432BC, apparently the earliest ever start date for a Total War game. There doesn’t seem to be a release date beyond “upcoming” for this one yet ( Update: It’s 16 December, apparently), but the Total War: Rome 2 forums have a thread full of faction, tech and unit details. Rome 2 will soon be expanding with new campaign the Wrath of Sparta, but I’m not going to do any lines from 300 and you can’t make me. You know Sparta, right? Well this is that place.
