This variant plays in Ancient Greek in the time at 550 B.C. It is a game between nine great Greece powers on the map from South Italy in the West to Western Turkey in the East and from Macedonia in the North to Crete in the South. It is the time when the Greeks are at the peek of power before the Persian Empire invades in Turkey.
Rules
This is a simple map change variant. Macedonia the letter N and the Aetolian Alliance has the letter E.
Byzanz and Corinth have waterways the same as Kiel and Constantinople in the normal game.
Kyklades are a island group of some important and strong isles such as Delos that they become a SC. Unfortunately Armies have not enough space there so only fleets can pass the area!
