Re: Athens - Why isn't it part of the Greek Cities?
Athens wasn't part of the either the Achaean or Aetolian Leagues in the time period depicted in RTW, both of which constituted the bulk of mainland Greece's political power at that time. Then again neither was Sparta but fat chance releasing a strategy game in this time period that doesn't let you play the Greeks and build Spartan Hoplites. The average strategy gamer would be up in arms over that one.Originally Posted by Turbo
Furthermore if its ports are sufficiently developed Athens can make a fortune in trade income. With well developed ports the GCS is wealthy enough as it is.
Realistically all the cities that comprise the Greek City States in RTW should be independent factions.

Athens was occupied by a Macedon garrison. But gained it independance in 262BC. Although it still is the intellectuel center in Greece, political it has not much weight anymore. And Athens doesn't take part in the later war (220-217) between Aetolia (Thermon) and Sparta and help from the Romans on one side, against Achaea (Corinth) and Macedonia on the other side.

Ok evrything seems answered but i would like to add that in the game athens is the city that has the greatest income especialy when sea trade is maxed :D

You sure on that? Sinope is a power house in the black sea. Of course you have to be buddy buddy with evryone there. I get about 3.5k in trade income there 2500 in taxes and then some greedy corrupt bastard takes away 2k of that.
