Independent game developer Longbow Games has announced the first DLC for their historical strategy game Hegemony III: Clash of the Ancients. Titled “Hegemony III: The Eagle King”, the new DLC is inspired by the ancient Greek King Pyrrhus of Epirus and his battles against Rome and Carthage on behalf of the Greek colonies of southern Italy.
About Hegemony III: The Eagle King
For more than two centuries, Rome has slowly expanded her control over the tribes of ancient Italy. But as her borders encroach on the proudly independent Greeks of the Southern coast, they call upon an ambitious young king from across the sea to come to their aid. Eager for glory, Pyrrhus, the “eagle” of Epirus, gathers his armies and sets sail for Italy. Commanding phalangites from Macedonia, cavalry from Thessaly, and rare War Elephants from Egypt, Pyrrhus will challenge Rome with the fiercest warriors of the Greek world. But the cost of victory will be high, and Pyrrhus’ ambitions do not end at pushing back the Romans. The Eagle King believes himself to be the next Alexander, and does not plan to sail home until he has carved out a new empire of his own.
Check out the Launch Trailer:
“Hegemony is a series of historical RTS games by Longbow Games where you command one of several classical factions and fight to create an empire. While a bit smaller in scope than Total War, nevertheless imagine one of those games but all taking place in the 3D battle map rather than cutting to a board game view and you’ll get an idea of what Hegemony plays like. Longbow Games did a Kickstarter for Hegemony III but sadly it failed, fortunately they still had the funds to finish the game and here it is. Boasting a map four times bigger than the last game, and 25 factions from Rome to the Etruscan Empire, Hegemony III certainly thinks big. It’s also technically only Hegemony II since the second game was a remastering of the first, but whatever.”
