Set in 432 BC at the outset of the Peloponnesian War, Wrath of Sparta is an entirely new campaign expansion for Total War: ROME II, will be released on the 16th December, and is the earliest period that Total War has ever attempted.

As the legendary warriors of Sparta are called into open conflict against an arrogant Athens by scheming Korinthos and Boiotia, Wrath of Sparta challenges you to dominate the Hellenic world. However, while the City States vie for control of their homelands, across the Aegean sea the vengeful Persian Empire watches its old foe closely…

Across a bespoke campaign map focussing on a highly-detailed ancient Greece, the Greek Islands and the Ionian Coast, this campaign pack features all new tech-trees, battlefield and naval units, great wonders and famous Greek heroes. In addition, a flavour-packed focus on ancient Greek culture is delivered through many iconic athletic competitions and festivals.

Wrath of Sparta is a campaign pack like no other, bringing this desperate conflict to life in thrilling detail across hundreds of hours of gameplay.

The earliest period any Total War game has depicted, Wrath of Sparta’s campaign map is a vivid and detailed representation of the Greek world in 432 BC; featuring 22 provinces across 78 regions, covering the Greek mainland, islands and the Ionian coast. The map brings 12 new Wonders to light, including the Ruins of Troy, the Temple of Zeus and the Royal Tombs of Makedon. Furthermore, as the campaign features a tighter timeframe than the ROME II Grand Campaign, each turn represents one month.

Athens (Athenai), Corinth (Korinthos), Sparta and Boiotia are all playable in Wrath of Sparta, each bringing its own faction traits, unit rosters, challenges and geographical starting point. In addition, famous generals and statesmen of history appear throughout the campaign, such as the Spartan general Lysander and the Athenian dignitary Sokrates.

In homage to their historical strengths, Sparta can field a greater variety of troops than other factions to reflect its mastery in land warfare, while Athens has the roster advantage in naval warfare.

This could be pretty cool, always hoped for a campaign set in Classical period Greece.

Price tag is a little steep like all the other DLC campaigns for this game.  Not expecting much in the way of gameplay changes aside from the usual new units, tech trees, etc

New assets for modders at least

Anything that lets me play as the league is a must buy in my book.

Sigh...

This DLC crap CA are doing is so fucking dumb, seriously. I bought R2TW, being stupid, but I certainly won't buy any more of their games, even if I wasn't disappointed with R2TW -- just because of the way they handle DLCs. Like now, to get a "full game", I'm going to have to pirate R2TW, despite owning it, or else pay a fuck ton of money for all the DLC, which I'm not going to do. So from my POV there's no fucking point in buying the game because I'll end up having to play a pirated version anyway. Especially disappointing when their vanilla factions are really bad (Sparta for example is super bland in R2TW vanilla). Not only that, but the speed with which they churn out their products makes it insane to buy everything. They spend a little time on a ton of different things (separate DLC, new "game" like Attila) instead of delivering one great product.
