Total War: ROME II : Greek States Culture Pack Steam

The Greek States Culture Pack adds a new playable Culture
including three new playable Factions to Total War: ROME II; for
use in Single or Multiplayer Campaign modes and Custom and
Multiplayer Battles.

The Greek States Culture Pack adds diplomatic Athens, shrewd
Epirus and formidable Sparta as playable factions. Each offers
range of special tactics to achieve cultural and martial victories,
and lethal elite units to crush foes in battle.

The Greek States share a number of common goals, philosophies
and general diplomatic aims. However, they are defined by their
fierce independence and between them demonstrate a huge variety in
approach to civil and military challenges that often brings them
into conflict with the wider world, and each other.

New Features:

• New Playable Factions – Athens, Epirus and
  Sparta each offer a unique new way to experience the campaign, with
  their own rosters of powerful military units, distinct traits and
  play styles.
  The Athenian pursuit of enlightenment grants them technological and
  cultural bonuses; Sparta’s dominance over the Helots allows them to
  maintain a larger slave population; and Epirus enjoys bonuses to
  settlement exploitation stemming from their village-confederation
  origins.
• New Cultural Traits – All Greek States benefit
  from a bonus in battle when defending their own or an allied
  territory, a bonus to wealth generated by their capitals and an
  increase to the rate of cultural conversion within their
  borders.
• New Cultural Objectives – Greek States have
  their own new set of military, economic and cultural victory
  conditions, as well as sharing a unique set of bonus objectives
  drawn from Greek history. Additionally, each faction will have to
  contend with its unique events and dilemmas.
• New Military Traditions – Each of the Greek
  States has a unique top-tier military tradition: Athenian fleets
  may be honoured as Children of the Aegaean, improving the ramming
  ability of their ships whilst allowing them to secure more income
  when raiding; Spartan armies may be remembered as Peers of
  Leonidas, improving their melee defense capabilities and reducing
  their upkeep; the armies of Epirus may be feared as Hounds of
  Molossus, granting them greater charge bonuses whilst allowing them
  to keep public order problems in check.

New Units:
In addition to the intimidating unit rosters of each faction now
playable for the first time, the Greek States Culture Pack
introduces a variety of unique and especially elite and deadly
forces.

• Mercenary Veteran Hoplites – [available to all
  playable factions]
  From glistening spear points to earth-shaking tread, a phalanx is a
  sight and sound to inspire dread. With these veteran hoplites, that
  dread is sold to the highest bidder.
• Thureos Hoplites – [Unique to Athens]
  While the linen breastplates worn by these men may look flimsy,
  they are cool, practical and surprisingly tough. As with all
  hoplites, the men inside are also practical and tough
  warriors.
• Thorax Hoplites – [Unique to Athens]
  These heavy hoplites are marked by their bronze breastplate armour,
  a sign of wealth and status. They are armed with spears and hoplon
  shields, and use the phalanx formation to batter enemies into
  submission.
• Agrianian Axemen – [Unique to Epirus and
  Macedon]
  The Paeonian tribe of Agrianes are fierce fighters. As well as
  terrible killing tools, their axes are also climbing hooks for
  rough terrain. No sensible general would not use them in an
  assault.
• Aspis Companion Cavalry – [Unique to Epirus
  and Macedon]
  A king’s companions in battle are his nobles and esteemed friends.
  It is an honour to be a companion, to ride forth with javelin and
  kopis to fight for your lord and master.
• Heroes of Sparta – [Unique to Sparta]
  Embodying the spirit of Thermopylae, the Heroes Of Sparta bear
  their spears and shields with fierce pride and unrivalled
  mastery.
• Polybolos Repeating Scorpion – [Siege
  Deployable available to all Greek, Roman and Carthaginian
  factions]
  Able to make short work of even the most heavily-armoured
  opponents, this repeating bolt thrower sacrifices the ordinary
  Scorpion’s range in return for a rapid rate of fire.
• Tortoise Armoured Battering Ram – [Siege
  Deployable available to all Greek, Roman and Carthaginian
  factions]
  Combining devastating ramming power while affording protection to
  its crew, used well the Tortoise more than makes up for its lack of
  speed and manoeuvrability in open ground.

New Buildings:

• The Monument of Lacedaemon – [Unique to
  Sparta]
  A symbol of Sparta’s overridingly martial culture, The Monument of
  Lacedaemon brings cost reductions to military recruitment,
  significantly increases the morale of land units in the province
  and a global morale boost to existing units.
• Oracle of Dodona – [Unique to Epirus]
  This sacred grove is the domain of the priests and priestesses of
  Epirus. The Oracle of Dodona increases city growth, provincial
  happiness, wealth, and the global conversion of other factions to
  Hellenic culture.
• Acropolis – [Unique to Athens]
  A symbol of Athenian high culture and engineering excellence, The
  Acropolis also provides extra garrison forces to Athens, improves
  the city’s abilities to withstand sieges, and increases Athenian
  agents’ Authority actions.

Faction History:
Athens
Athens has long been famed for its cultural achievements, from
buildings such as the Parthenon, to the plays and works of
Aristophanes, Plato, Socrates, and Sophocles. In many ways, Greek
culture is defined by Athens. Its military focus has long been its
navy; however, continuing the traditions of the classical era, its
citizens are also expected to contribute both infantry and cavalry
to its armies.

Epirus
Epirus is a Greek kingdom formed of numerous small villages and
towns, rather than the great cities of the south. An agriculture
and fishing-based society, Epirus nevertheless maintains a balanced
army on the Alexandrian model, consisting of cavalry, archers,
peltasts, phalangites and war elephants. They also make extensive
use of mercenaries from throughout the Greek-speaking world.

Sparta
With every aspect of their lives and society geared towards
warfare, Sparta dominated the Greek world and continues to produce
arguably the finest soldiers of the Hellenic period. The slaves and
non-citizens of Sparta enable their citizens to pursue warrior
perfection as soldiers and champions. Trained and hardened in
battle, their warriors and leaders are the embodiment of military
discipline and virtue.
