Re: Richard Yorke plays Rise of Persia!

[Daniele]

Take a look at the upcoming DLC for Field of Glory in this video featuring Egyptians and Persians in a bitter fight!



This expansion extends Field of Glory II back to 681 BC, and allows players to experience the last flowering of chariot warfare in the ancient near-East. It chronicles the decline and fall of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, the rise of the Median and Babylonian Empires, and the conquest of these and the Lydian and Egyptian Kingdoms by the Achaemenid Persians.

The Neo-Assyrian Empire, founded in the late 10th century BC, reached its greatest extent at the end of the reign of Esarhaddon (681-669), stretching from Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) in the East to Cilicia (in southern Turkey) in the north-west, and Lower (northern) Egypt in the south-west.

That was a hard fight. After trudging through the dreadful arrow storm, I thought the Egyptians would win in melee but the Persians were tough at melee too.
I like the big chariot.
