The most powerful empires in the world brawl over the spoils of a declawed Greece.
Philopoemen has a vision to end the chaos and anarchy that consumes his homeland - to stop the endless wars and preserve the world he loves.

It is the last roll of the dice for the Achean League. The moment Philopoemen has been training for his whole life.
The new Achilles is poised to restore the glory of the former empire. To herald a new era.
To become the last great hero of Greece.
