This last faction highlight takes us to the Black Sea, another interesting region in the upcoming Imperiums: Rome vs Carthage DLC. It might seem that all of the world changing events are taking place around the Mediterranean, but perhaps the relative distance from the political scheming of the great powers could be the decisive factor in establishing a new ruling empire.
The nations on the shores of the Black Sea have very different cultures and ambitions, which allows players to try different playstyles and provides great replayability value.
The Bosporan Kingdom, along the northern shore, controls the most economically developed areas of the region. They hold lands along the coast but have not yet managed to secure territories further inland, where their colonization efforts met with the sharp swords of the Scythian warriors. These two nations fight each other relentlessly, neither one has been able to gain the upper hand so far. However, the Sarmatian hordes migrating from the east, may yet even unite these old enemies in the face of a new foe.
The straits between Europe and Asia are occupied by Lysimachus in Thrace and Antigonids in Anatole. They carry on an endless war against each other, both wanting to control the domains of the Black Sea.
In their shadow live the smaller kingdoms of Cappadocia and Armenia, both trying to maintain their relative independence without getting too involved on either side.
The Black Sea hides great potential and many dangers. The differences between the states are deep, unorthodox methods will have to be employed to dominate them, peacefully, or by the sword.
