Ancient Civilizations scenario

Finally releasing the first scenario: Ancient Civilizations.

Civilizations of the Mediterranean and Near-Middle East / Mesopotamia, from the Bronze Age to Classical Antiquity - Carthage, Rome, Sparta, Hittites, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Assyria. Each empire has different significant starting bonus and penalty, requiring implementation of different strategy.

This is a conquest-oriented scenario: VPs for Dogmas and Sacred Mountains are decreased, victory can only be achieved by conquest of Holy Lands or Apocalypse. Holy Regions start with size 2 and their bonuses for Power, Knowledge and Gold generation are increased to 3x.

Take your empire from the dawn of civilization and race towards Iron Age. Watch out for barbarian hordes and monsters coming from outer, wild regions of the ancient world!
