The central place in it is occupied by historical characters who served as advisers, viziers, aristocrats and courtiers. Each of them has their own ambitions, desires and motives. Will your officials continue to commit treason after treason, or will you put an end to their double game? Will you allow the throne of Babylon to be usurped by pretenders? Will your best commander betray you after years of service? Befriend your subjects and trust them to rule your cities—or watch as their lust for power turns them into dangerous rivals.
Old World - Behind the Throne includes:
Over 350 new events related to court politics, intrigue and personal interests. The throne is always surrounded by a web of lies, ambitions and possibilities.
New historical characters, including:
- Alcibiades, Athenian politician known for his duplicity
- Enlil-nadin-shumi, usurper of the Babylonian throne
- Harpagus, Akkadian dignitary and conspirator
- Bardesan, Assyrian sage, scientist and philosopher
- Mago, Carthaginian author of a treatise on agriculture
- Avicenna, famous Persian philosopher
New projects and improvements:
- Estates: a new expensive project that provides a variety of benefits.
- Abundance: a new project available through estates. Allows you to gain additional victory points through wealth.
- Slums: balance between accelerated population growth and increased risk of uprisings.
New game mechanics:
- Rising Stars: These powerful characters have no power, but with increasing experience they can provoke a variety of events with positive and negative effects. If such a character starts to bother you, you can solve this problem in different ways.
- Stress and debauchery: the life of a ruler is constantly poisoned by suppressed ambitions, jealous mistresses, ferocious barbarians and many other troubles. Will your character deal with stress by indulging in hedonism?
- Grand Vizier: free yourself from unnecessary responsibilities by entrusting the management of cities to viziers with different characters. A wise vizier will develop culture, a brave one will hire soldiers faster, and a disciplined one will train specialists and speed up special projects. But be careful: power corrupts, and even the most loyal vizier can turn his greedy gaze on your throne.
- New political eras: civil wars, grandiose reforms, corruption and periods of decline will subject your empire to new tests.
Become a victim of court intrigue or use it to your advantage - rising stars, budding rivalries and wild parties present a wealth of opportunities for whoever sits on or behind the throne./attention/delivery
