The expansion will be named Wrath Of Sparta and will be available on December 16th. Overall, I am very excited for the DLC. Wrath of Sparta will release December 16th, 2014.Sega the creators of the critically acclaimed strategy game Total War Rome 2 will be receiving a brand new expansion. I don’t really mind them, as I do like units with a more unique feel, and it should help mix up a hoplite-heavy campaign to feel fresh. For example, there will be specialist and legendary troops, which I assume will be similar to the hero units of Shogun 2.
CA has added quite a few interesting features into the campaign, which should help make the overall campaign enjoyable. Sword units excel in taking walls, much better than spear units. Hoplites are used as the anvil to the cavalry hammer, but this doesn’t work so well in city sieges and assaults. They are very strong defensive units with high armor, but low weapon damage and melee attack skill. If you have played the Grand Campaign as a Greek faction, you know what it’s like to have battles of hoplites versus hoplites: It is a very slow slugfest. Unit variety may be pretty weak, as most factions will use hoplites, and variations of hoplite units. While I find the Peloponnesian War an interesting conflict, I can’t help but wonder how a campaign based mostly around hoplites will play out. From the look of the defenses, anyone attacking Constantinople in the game would need to employ excellent strategy and planning beforehand, as the city would need to be held under siege for a period of time to make a battle there winnable. I liked the attention detail regarding the Theodosian Walls, including the moat and outer walls. The Rally Point episode also goes into detail on the city of Constantinople and the finer features of the map. Rally Point Episode 23 goes into detail below: Unfortunately, the Achaemenid Empire is not-playable, but that’s nothing a mod can’t solve. One cool feature is that if your faction becomes too strong, instead of a civil war mechanic, it causes the Achaemenid Empire to intervene in the war. A new campaign map will be featured with 78 regions, focusing on the Peloponnese area. Features include new generals, new research trees, new wonders, new buildings, and new units. The four playable factions are: Ahtenai(Athens), The Boiotian League, Korinthos(Corinth), and Sparta.
