大家好，

这一次我们希望给您带来波斯的消息，因为它下周就会到来！

当我们在几个月前开始波斯人的开发时，我们的目标是让经验丰富的玩者直接进入更高层次的内容，并允许高级玩家立即进入正题，包括探索雅高，收集更高级别的装备，征服克里特，并迅速前往塞浦路斯，以及其他内容。

——波斯立即可以研究整个科技树，并且各单位的装备已经预配备。
——这是不能交易的特殊装备，它为玩家提供了一个良好的起跑线，迅速通过低级门槛。
——此外，因为波斯玩家在20级开始，他们将能够迅速获得更高层次的奖励，通过阿格斯，克里特岛，塞浦路斯和斯巴达。
——我们也给玩家一些顾问，为你做的最初的几个任务，与往常一样，也有一些进入即得的特殊奖励。
——获得一个全新的科技树和许多单位，其中包括特殊单位，如：

近卫长生军，对付步兵在近距离特别有效，但还可以发射箭矢。
Sparabara，手持巨盾能够承受远程武器攻击的步兵部队。
战争攻城车，一个令人印象深刻的战争机器，能够齐射箭雨摧毁敌军。
波斯人也有战争学院研究他们的军事技术。这些技术有优点和缺点，并在战斗中可以打开和关闭。
新的波斯人有援助的帐篷。这个新的升级，使仓库治愈附近的单位，帮助波斯人保护村民和控制地图。

——波斯玩者可立即访问无排名和排名的PvP。
——波斯是一个很好的补充，以配合您当前的希腊和埃及的文明。拥有这一文明，你也将获得一个额外的单位，王牌突击骑兵（著名的废物）。
——波斯将于下周开始在有限的时间出售！

因此，我们做出了一个非常有趣的新文明，我们认为玩者将得到享受。随着新的图形，单位，科技树，和顾问，玩家将拥有非常不同于以往的乐趣和新的可研究内容。

我们开始创建新的宣传影片，所以我们将有一个视频介绍波斯人，以及一个免费的演示任务，显示了波斯的一些最酷的方面。

我们想澄清一件事：波斯不会有一个自己的故事线，因为我们的目标是让玩家直达高层次的内容。我们之后或许会创造一些波斯的故事内容，因为此文化有一个惊人的历史，但这次更新，我们希望把重点放在高级玩家加速融入游戏的方面。

我们已为波斯创造了新的任务，您可以在其中猎取装备和相当迅速地找到材料。由于这些任务可重复，玩家可以尝试一下他们的所有单位和战法，根据他们的喜好用不同的科技树设置和游戏中的战略。

我们也正在筹划针对波斯开启一个新的捆绑销售计划。波斯的到来是10月18日。

一如往常，我们很高兴与大家分享这个新的内容，并记住，我们正在对其他事情像冠军模式，载入程序的更新，补丁计划（这意味着规模较小，增量的补丁！）在十一月及十二月进行修正。下周我们将谈论这些细节。

祝大家有一个愉快的周末！

Hi everyone,

We wanted to update you on Persia one more time, since it’s coming next week!

Our goal when we started Persians many months ago was to give experienced players access to higher level content, and allow advanced players to jump right into the thick of things, including exploring Argos, gathering higher level gear, conquering Crete, and getting to Cyprus quicker, among other things.

• Persia starts immediately at level 20 with access to the entire tech tree, and pre-equipped with gear for all units.
• This is special Gear that cannot be traded; it gives players a good starting suite of Gear right out of the gate.
• Also, because Persian players begin at level 20, they will be able to quickly begin acquiring higher level rewards, through Argos, Crete, Cyprus, and Sparta.
• We also give players a few Advisors as you do the first few quests, and as always, some starting special rewards.
• Access to a full new tech tree and unit roster that includes special units like:

o The Immortal, effective against infantry at short range but can also shoot arrows from afar.
o The Sparabara, a shielded infantry unit capable of withstanding ranged weaponry.
o The War Wagon, an impressive war machine able to destroy enemies with volleys of arrows.
o Persians also have access to several toggle techs from their War Academy.  These technologies have benefits and drawbacks and can be turned on and off in the midst of battle.
o New to the Persians is the Aid Tent. This new upgrade allows the storehouse to heal nearby units helping the Persians protect villagers and maintain map control over their opponents

• Persian players begin with access to unranked and ranked PvP.
• Persia is a great addition to complement your current Greek and Egyptian civilizations. By owning more than 1 civilization, you will also receive an extra unit, the Golden Hippikon.
• Persia will be on sale for a limited time starting next week!

So, we have a really fun new Civ that we think players will enjoy. With all the new art, units, tech tree, and advisors, players will have something very different and new to dive into.

We are starting to create new videos as well, so we’ll have a video for you to check out that describes the Persians, as well as a free demo quest that shows some of the coolest aspects of Persia.

We wanted to clarify one thing: Persia won’t have a story campaign, since our goal was to get players access to high level content quickly.  We’d love to create some Persian story content later, since that culture has an amazing history, but for this launch, we wanted to focus on a way to accelerate advanced players into gameplay.

We have created new quests for Persia in which you can gear up and find materials fairly quickly. Since these quests are repeatables, players can try out all of their units and experiment with different tech tree setups and in-game strategies as they like.

We are also planning on a significant sale and a new bundle soon for Persia.  Persia should be out October 18th.

As always, we are excited to share this new content with you, and remember, we’re working on a host of other things for November and December, like Champion mode, launcher updates, differential patching (this means smaller, incremental patches!), and other things.  We’ll talk about those details more next week.

Have a great weekend!
