^^Hellas: The rise of the City-States. 
^
After the Dark Age that extinguished the light of the Bronze Age
Mycenean kingdoms, the Hellenes (as the Ancient Greeks called 
themselves) began to recover in around 750 B.C. Colonists from
the major City-States travelled throughout the Mediterranean and 
founded new cities. But in the East, the Persians began to rival 
their Assyrian overlords. It would be some time before they 
threatened Greece, but could the in-fighting Greek cities ever 
hope to resist them if they came?
^
Recommended: Sparta, Athens, Corinth, Chalcis. (Optimised for Tyrant level).
^
Hard, but possible: Thebes. Easy, but interesting for a change: Persians
^
Not to be played: Other Greeks
