Field of Glory II - Rise of Persia DLC here's the new factions... PC


There are not that many strategy video games set in the Ancient Chariot period: while players can emulate Rommel, Montgomery, Napoleon and Wellington in hundreds of games (many of them published by Slitherine!), the Assyrian, Babylonian and ancient Egyptian generals did not have the same attention.This is about to change since Rise of Persia, the new DLC of Field of Glory, is set in the period of the Mesopotamian wars when the first empires built by man in the cradle of civilisation collided to control the great rivers, like the Euphrates, Tigris or Nile.

Given the massive success among fans all over the world, in 2016 Slitherine published Field of Glory II, with updated rules aligned with the latest version of the tabletop rules and improved graphics close to the real gaming table experience, in which armies of painted miniatures clash for victory.
