===Age of Hellas===
------------
Basic Design
------------
The mod is set between 510BC and 431BC in the Greek World. The map encompasses Greece itself, and the Aegean Coast of Asia Minor.
We plan to include an option for the multiple turns a year script, with four turns per year. We also intend to halt all units during the winter turn, to simulate the fact the the Ancient Greeks almost never fought during those months.
--------
Factions
--------
The following factions will be included in Age of Hellas:
Athens
Argos
Corinth
Crete
Epirus
Illyria
Lokrida
Macedon
Rhodes
Sparta
Thebes
The Ionean Cities
The Persian Empire
Thessaly
Thrace
The remaining five faction slots are being reserved for new factions in the Peloponesian War campaign which is planned to follow the currently in design Persian Wars campaign.
This map shows where the mod takes place, and gives a tentative version of where factions will be located:

------------
The Campaign
------------
510BC - 431BC
79 years, 316 turns.
The campaign starts before the beginning of the Persian invasion. Historically, the Persian invasion started in 492BC, and was effectively ended in 449BC.
In game time, this is 172 turns (43 years). Over a quater of the full campaign.
The main power behind the invasion was removed follwing the defeat of Plataea in 479BC. The Persian fleet was destroyed near Mycale, seriously damaging their influence in Greece.
Persia and Greece were still enemies and fought, but the events were not so dramatic as those of earlier years.
-------
Timeline
-------
508BC - Athens sets up the first democracy
490BC - Persian/Greek battle of Marathon
480BC - Sea battle of Salamis
480BC - Battle of Thermopylae
479BC - Battle of Plataea
450BC - Athens rises to power
431BC - Beginning of Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta
428BC - Revolt of Mytilene - 1 most likely, maybe 2
404BC - Sparta defeats Athens, end of Peloponnesian War.
