Xerxes pillages Athens and Thebes, but the Greeks are so strong. Manly pecs aside, Leonidas commands a huge army of well-armed troops. Seems all the Persians can muster are cannon fodder.

Gameplay starts at about 3:06. At one point, around 15:30, I'm caught off-guard by a Greek army and the game's battle size limits. Persian infantry are incredibly weak against Greek hoplites, so my only advantage is in ranged units (especially horse archers) and cavalry.

Due to the game crashing every time I try to load the save, this is the only video of the Persian campaign I'll upload most likely.

Much of the music is in-game. Sources include Clash of the Titans, Daemonia Nymphe, and Civilization V. There may be a few others I'm missing, but all rights to them and the ones I mentioned. I just thought the music really brought out these scenes! :D
