14 DAY TRIAL // I do not know how efficient very short stories can be in promoting a strategy game, but the developers at The Creative Assembly are delivering a second entry in the Tales of the Apocalypse series linked to Total War: Attila, which is focused on the Sassanid Empire and the impressive wealth that it will poses in the coming title.
The official blurb states, “The city of Ctesiphon was the heart of the Sassanian Empire and the centre of a vast trade network. Goods flowed along the Silk Road from China and India, through Arabia and into North Africa and Western Europe. But luxuries were not the only things to find passage with the caravans.”
Gamers can read the entire thing in a few minutes on the official wiki.
The Sassanids are one of the most powerful neighbors of the Eastern Roman Empire in Total War: Attila and can thrive as long as they manage to keep back attackers, including the Huns that might be heading their way.
The faction will be able to field some solid armies but its greatest strength is control over lucrative trade routes, which in turn allow it to thrive even as other empires decline around it.
Total War: Attila will be out on February 17 on the PC.
