Ok since since not many in here discoverd that this has, more or less, been released last year. I also post a showcase here on AomH for it....enjoy
This campaign will not be completed....the first 3 acts have been tested many times on ESO....but due to the fact that the scenario is FULLY randomized and changes with every new game you start .....multiplayer testing takes too long i will not test them any further....so they will be released as is....if you have some ideas to improve stuff or found something which does not work + the solution to make it work just post in
Use this table of content for quick look up. You can find game settings and more info about each Act from this campaign below !

...And then they came from Asia minor...
We smelled already the stench from that filth which came from the middle east when they where miles away. For a second time the Thousand nations of the Persian empire decended on Greece, an island of reason and freedom. Xerxes send an army that was so vast that it shook the earth with its march in order to destroy and submit our homelands !
But this time they would meet us, this time they would not fight only mortal Greeks....no this time they would be confronted by warriors who stand tall above any mortal who walks the earth, warrior who are perfect, warriors who have no fear, warriors who are the decendants of the great Heracles himself. This time they would fight us........SPARTANS !!
We where not alone......the mighty Zeus, ruler of heaven & earth, and all our Greek gods where ready to confront Ahura Mazda and the Persian gods.
They started "first blood" and so the time had come to teach them new kinds of pain !
Spartans is a multiplayer campaign created for Age of Mythology The Titans online gaming on the TVO & ESO. It leads a group of 5 players through the 3 decisive battles in the second part of the Greco-Persian War. Players will fight as the fascist Spartans and their Greek allies or the bloodtirsty and cruel Persians lead by their tyrant God King Xerxes.

These where planned scenarios for the Spartans campaign but they will not be finished and released.
This scenario was almost 100% designed and the first mission was fully triggerd. It would have been a scenario where both teams would fight around 5 missions ( 5 objectives). The team which would have won the most rrounds in this sea battle would win.
The first mission was about the Egyptian Contigent, the second mission would have been a battle onboard of rammed ships...hand to hand combat...Spartans fav style !. Last Mission would have been a battle in one of the ports...controlled by the Persians or Greek.
The map featured the Salamis area, including both ports, rammed ships, and just like in the real battle Xerxes sat on his thrown on the beach to see the naval battle as it developed.
Some BETA screenshots from Act 4 The Battle of Salamis..Notice these are work in progress screens so not finished stuff:
This would have been again a short full cinematic scenario special created and finetuned for the use on ESO
Would have been the final large scale battle.. in the Greco-Persian War
The idea behind this scenario was to base it on a standard supremacy build & destroy gameplay. But with objectives for both sides...so kinda like the Build & Destroy scenarios in the original Age of Mythology single player campaigns
- This scenario is a singleplayer eyecandy rpg map. which is released as a stand alone scenario on 13-11-2007. It is the final act of the Spartans campaign
