Hailing from the rugged Zargos mountains of Asia, the fierce warriors of Persia conquered the Iranian heartland and established a powerful dynasty in 550BC. Since then, and under the leadership of great kings such as Cyrus the Great, Persia expanded East and West to capture Babylon, Asia Minor, the Levant, and Egypt. In the process, Persia built the world’s most formidable empire. Indeed, it seemed that nothing can stop Persia from dominating the entire world.

The challenge to its supremacy came from the unlikeliest of challengers; a number of small Greek city states who successfully defeated the Persian invasions in the 5th century BC and maintained their independence. Then, in 330 BC, the Greeks who were finally united under the leadership of Alexander the Great, would strike back, attacking and conquering the Persian empire.

Since Alexander’s death, the Parthian dynasty rules a newly invigorated Persia. The Parthians seek to reestablish Persian dominance over all lands and finally conquer Europe. Can the Persians finally achieve their dream of world dominance this time around?
