Slitherine have announced Gates of Troy, a Trojan themed expansion pack for Spartan, their turn-based strategy game. The developers had been secretly working on Gates of Troy for months and promise exciting content.
GoT includes 17 new heroes ranging from Achilles and Hektor in the Trojan Wars to Leonidas & Demophilus in the pass of Thermopylae. Play as Achilles with his Myrmidon warriors, or maybe you prefer Odysseus or Hektor? Control vast armies of Trojans and Greeks and lay siege to the most powerful city of its time - Troy!
Take command of Leonidas and his 300 Spartans against the mighty Persian horde. The pass of Thermopylae has been re-created on a one for one scale with 300 Spartans, 700 Thespian allies under Demophilus & 400 unreliable Thebans who really didn't want to be there - and can you blame them! This small force stands against the might of the Persian army with wave upon wave of increasingly powerful troops hitting your lines until the mighty Immortals arrive. Xerxes launches attack after attack from his inexhaustible horde and your objective is just to hold the pass long enough for Greece to muster her forces.
The expansion pack includes 6 new historically accurate campaigns :
The Trojan Wars
The pass of Thermopylae
Greek Colonization
Pre-Historic Greece
The Ionian Revolt
Grand Campaign with Rome & Persia
Gates of Troy also includes 12 new units ranging from Achilles Myrmidons to Thespian & Theban Hoplites. It also includes a number of new features such as a zoomable campaign map, enhanced diplomatic options such as the vassalization of smaller nations, the chance to build the Trojan horse and many more smaller upgrades.
