The optional mission branch focuses on the legacy of Greek colonists in the region, culminating in the search for the Taurian temple of Artemis located somewhere on the Crimean peninsula. We feel this is a great way to provide some interesting ahistorical playthrough paths.īelow is the flag for the Istrian League, the league of cities settled in East Thracia on the Black Sea coast. If these small, disparate colonies were to strike out from under the influence of the successor kingdoms/local barbarian nations, it would have been pertinent for fellow Greeks to band together in common military and economic interest. While we may not have historical evidence that these proposed leagues ever existed, our scholars are convinced that under the right conditions their creation would have been entirely possible. There will be three new Nation tags available, depending on where you start and if you can conquer/acquire the necessary territories. The main branch focuses on the building up of the capital region, either diplomatic or aggressive expansion of your nation, gaining senate backing, and ultimately, the formation of a new league of cities. So without further ado, let's jump in.Īs you can see, the mission incorporates one main branch (with some optional tasks and some diverging paths), one optional task, and one entirely optional branch. Additionally, the tree includes several interactions with your nation's senate, so all monarchies (and tribes I suppose) are excluded from accessing the Mission.

My goal with this mission is to offer another path of growth and possibly a taller style of play for the Greek republics in the region. Shouldn't that be enough? Well, several team members and myself have found that the Inhospitable Mission, while fairly robust, fun, and flavourful, is largely geared towards Medium sized Hellenic nations in the region, ignoring the realities of the many smaller Greek city states that are sorely lacking in flavour. Some may wonder why focus on this topic? There already exists a generic Greek mission centered around controlling the Greek ports on the Pontos Euxinos. Today, I'd like to talk about what I've been working on these past few weeks: Greek Republics in the Black Sea region. Salvete! I'm traced_169 ( and I'm a developer working on expanding Hellenic Mission content.

To begin, I’ll hand you over to traced_169 Today we will be talking about the newly developed Black sea missions and an optional change to the Diadochi CB.
