Ok lets start with this DLC, the last dlc of rome 2 total wars, the game that many of its fans got angry at first when they played the game. The dlc is not bad at all. By getting this dlc you get big maps, greeks regions,new greeks factions,new events, new units and other stuffs that im gonna explain a bit more about them. you can start the campaign with 4 greek factions.

One of the bad things about this dlc is that you cant play as persian however they have a great role in gameplay of campaign, but thanks to modder because of making a Persian and other factions playable in game. There are a also so many mods that can improve your Campaign gameplay such as new units reskins, new factions, less agents and....

Some people are crying and whining about lack of unit variation, but remember, this is accurate historically, the greeks were constantly fighting eachother and they didn't all have completely different armies.

Campaign gameplay is pretty good, however sometimes become imbalance. playing on very hard or legendary difficulty make the game impossible to finish which i really liked it cuz i usually play on hardest difficulty. The big challenge is specializing our armies into either better hoplites, cavalry or ranged than your opponents. The campaign itself also has some cool mechanics like the festivals and the suddenly-persia-war-declaration.

some other things are just enjoyable in this campaign. for example there are a lots of Ancient greek games that happen every few years such as Olympics games, Pythian games, nemean games and others which are really pleasant. also the campaign has some new events that really good during gameplay.

Now its time for pros and cons from my opinions:

PROS:
.Ancient Greek setting
.Some new units
.New Tech Trees
.New factions
.New seasonal events, The new Seasonal effect they put into this campaign are great. Winter makes a huge difference on your economy and army mobility
.Panhellenic Games and Festivals ( which i loved it )
.New maps
.Persian invasion
.Peloponnesian War
.Greco-Persian Wars
.some new really amazing wonders
.ships have finally a really good function and are not totally useless

now we come to CONS:
.NO historical battles which is really bad and just show how lazy CA is
.Not too many new units for some people who might not like it
.Lack of custom battles support but still you can get some few factions by mods
.Lack of Persians armour design. Dariush the great and xerxes looks like a nomadic farmers :/

and thats it for cons! the dlc is pretty good tbh. I dont know why some people didnt like it and just hate it. This is a good DLC people! It is a good DLC if you like Ancient Greeks, hoplites, SPARTA, Peloponnesian War. Good campaign in almost every aspect. So forget what haters say about this awesome dlc, you should really have to try it by yourself and dont listen to those ungrateful fans.

you can wait for sale or buy game anytimes, Its your money and you have choice but i will highly recommend this dlc, you won't regret :)

7.6/10

This dlc is worth buying if you like ancient greeks and also if you download the mod HELLENIKA which is a mod absolutely for wrath of sparta you will experience the ancient greeks with many more units all of them historical accurate and a much better campaign ...Give it a try you wont regret it!!! Make sure to read the manual before playing if you download the mod
