Greater self-determination is now yours! Set your own goals of conquest or cultural assimilation as you take control of the great powers of the era, in the race for world domination. Conquer and subjugate your enemies, or dominate the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and rise to become the greatest trading power there has ever been. Mobilise large armies to ward off the barbarian hordes or stave of the threat of invasion from powerful neighbours with gifts and tribute. Always ensure that the favour of the gods are with you by calling on religious omens to guide your hand. All the while currying the favour of the people, by arranging lavish sacrifices to appease those same gods.
