## About This Content
This DLC for Imperiums: Greek Wars , is inspired by the legendary accounts
of Homer and the story of love, hurt pride, greed, and personal courage that
has immortalized the heroes of this epic. Yet, more than just military
excellence will be needed to achieve the goals you’ve brought to Troy. You
will need to face the destiny that the goddesses of Fate, have assigned and
that no mortal hero can avoid.
Join the greatest warriors on the plains of Troy – this time you will decide
how the story ends.

## Greco-Trojan Rivalry
The scenario map is relatively small, covering the area of the Hellespont, the
strait between Asia and Europe. The king of Troy controls it, including all
trade travelling via this sea route. Troia is a prosperous city with reputedly
impregnable walls, its symbol of power and wealth.
On the other side of the Aegean Sea, King Agamemnon of Mykenai, together with
his brother Menelaos, the king of Sparta, aspires to be first among Greek
kings. They’ve been eyeing the wealth of Troy with envy for a long time and
now that Trojan Prince Paris has abducted Menelaos’s wife, Helen, they finally
have their justification for war.
## Great Warriors
The Greeks, joined in a loose coalition, have gathered a massive war fleet
along the coast of Troy, readying to disembark their forces. The Trojans
continue to fortify their outlying towns, and although they’re greatly
outnumbered, they count on Troia’s high stone walls to protect them.
Will you take command of Troy’s defense and try to save the kingdom in the
face of such terrible odds? Or would you rather assume the crown of Agamemnon
of Mykenai, and trample the Trojans into dust to become the greatest of all
Greek leaders? Perhaps you wish to prove your worth in combat and seek eternal
glory on the battlefield as Ajax of Salamis or Achilles of the Myrmidons?
Maybe you prefer unusual solutions that can bring victory as much as spears
and swords, as the wise Odysseus of Ithaka?
The choice is yours. Each faction has come to Troy with a different purpose
that will require different strategies. Take advantage of their unique
benefits in pursuing your goals.
## Tactical Plan
The raging war will not leave much time for economic or social reforms; all
resources, human and materiel, will be channeled to the war machine. This is a
tactical scenario, and so the strategic-level decisions are limited to give
you room to focus on the military task at hand.
Part of your resources arrive via external supply routes, but war is an
expensive endeavor, and sooner or later the stage will be reset to a war of
attrition. Prepare for it!
There are many strategically important points; overlooking one might deprive
you of the decisive advantage you need. Get to know the battlefield, test
various plans, and grab opportunity by the throat when it presents itself!

## Divine Presence
The goddesses of Fate weave, measure, and cut the destinies of all people, and
nobody can avoid the path laid out in front of him. Yet, the Olympian gods
might support one side or the other to try to steer the outcome toward a
favorite.
Thus, the major events are written in the Book of Fate, and you cannot
directly affect them. They happen as the game progresses depending on game
developments; so, one or another faction might be ‘luckier’ than the rest.
However, the outcomes do not alter the course of the war in a significant way,
rather they create an immersive storyline with minor advantages or
disadvantages for either side while staying true to the mythos of the Trojan
War.
Yet, those of you who come to Troy to fight a real battle can ignore the gods
– even if they are by nature omnipresent.
