Total War: ROME II - Wrath of Sparta

Players choose one of several Greek factions, including Athens and Sparta, and combine turn-based territorial management with large-scale real-time battles fought with phalanx infantry, cavalry, and naval fleets. The campaign focuses on internal Greek rivalry rather than resistance to an outside empire, with diplomacy, political stability, and unique starting positions shaping how each faction's war unfolds. Hoplite warfare and Aegean naval combat are central to the fighting.

• Greek Faction Campaign Players lead a Greek city-state such as Athens, Sparta, or Thebes through a dedicated campaign map.
• Hoplite Phalanx Combat Formations of spear-armed hoplites form the backbone of land battles.
• Aegean Naval Warfare Fleet battles across the Aegean Sea support and supply land campaigns.
• Political Rivalry System Internal Greek politics and shifting alliances affect each faction's stability and choices.
