What if the Kingdom of Macedonia (Ancient Greek Empire) did not fall apart and what if the Roman Republic became the Roman Empire 100 years earlier? These changes could have been arranged by the machinations of the Gods. Let's imagine what that world might have been like, under constant threat of war, the dawn of democracy and the Gods reining supreme high from their thrones on Mt. Olympus.
In this megagame, most players will take the role of either a Greek or a Roman, attempting to develop the largest, most impressive empire. Some players will be building up their home region by managing their resources, building industry, and manufacturing fleets to sell artisanal goods to distant lands. Other players will be moving troops around the Mediterranean and conquering regions for the glory of their faction. Others will be taking the role of political leaders, developing laws for the betterment of their people whilst vying for their own political standings.
Meanwhile, a third faction of players will assume the mantle of the Ancient Gods - Zeus/Jupiter, Poseidon/Neptune, Hera/Juno, etc. These players will be seeking to gain prayers from the mortals which will empower them to perform miracles and gain influence over their rivals.

"Zeus sent us Electrified Wheat. We crafted it into explosives a turn before it was revealed Zeus's Lightning Bolt had been stolen. Hilarity Ensued."
"The reveal via senate bill that Demigods existed - and that several of my fellow senators were ones"
"After we had been joking about sacrificing things into the volcano all day and hearing rumours that the gods could double resources, receiving a letter from Vulcan with a diagram of resources going into a volcano and twice as many coming back out was deeply hilarious."
