The Map Menu, showing the forces of all realms. The map covers the entire Mediterranean world, and all major powers of the time are represented historically.



Examining Units: Each unit has various troops and/or ships. Land forces conquer and defend provinces, while ships rule the seas. All troop-types and ship-types are authentic, and differ for each realm (there is a great variety of troops; Carthage and Ptolemaic Egypt control War Elephants, the Greek States marshal hoplites, etc.)



Your Headquarters: You conduct diplomacy with other realms here, granting passage rights, declaring war, etc. Your neighbors will be other human players, each in control of a separate realm. You will need to conduct diplomacy with them in the same manner as a ruler in the Ancient world.
