In Rhesus and Memnon, players will control the Thracian tribes of Resa and the Ethiopian army of Memnon. 49 new units will appear in the strategy, including “Fearless Egyptian soldiers, forest ambush masters, Thracian highlanders and crushing chariots”.
Res can turn to the powerful Thracian gods to strengthen the faith of his people in victory. Thus, access to elite units, settlements, reinforcements for the army and other bonuses opens up. In addition, the commander unites the warring tribes under one banner, increasing the power of his army.
Memnon strives for one goal – to wipe Achaea off the face of the earth, so he does not create a colony. To strengthen his army, he uses war trophies and prestige. In addition, the Ethiopian leader can request help from the pharaoh and instantly replenish his army with troops from Egypt, Ethiopia, Canaan and Susa.
Along with the new DLC, there will be a free update with six new features. Among other things, island trade between factions, instant construction for additional gold, compensation for construction costs when abandoning a settlement, and forecasts of losses in battles are announced. You can learn more about this in official blog.
Rhesus and Memnon valued at $ 9.99 (in Russian store segments – 419 rubles). Pre-order is eligible for a 10% discount. DLC is included in the Ultimate Edition along with other add-ons.
