In times of crisis, a great people will produce inspired leaders to see them through the storm.
And so it was for Athens. As the Persian Empire closed its grip around the tiny city-state, hero after hero -- brilliant statesman and extraordinary general -- were produced by the rich soil of her individualistic culture.
But heroes do not always begin as such. The training of a hero can take varied and doubtful paths. The resourcefulness and determination of effective leaders may be formed in self-interested or morally questionable enterprises.
This is the story of the Athenian known as Miltiades III. He began as a citizen, aspired to be a tyrant, and ended up leading Athens to victory on the battelfield at Marathon.
His story is yours.
You have grown to manhood chaffing under the claustrophobic politics of Athens, Miltiades. Your family, the Philaids, were closely associated with Peisistratus, the great tyrant of that city. But Peisistratus and his sons have been driven out. Democratic reforms have been instituted.
And you have decided to look elsewhere for personal advancement...
Opportunity comes in the form a message.
In 496 B.C. the people of a northern Aegean region called Chersonese invite you to occupy the throne once held by your earlier relatives. Tired of internal chaos, afraid of the encroaching Persians, they have asked you to come and assume the title of tyrant.
Your grandfather and great grandfather both ruled as tyrants in Chersonese. Why shouldn't you?
You have everything to gain, Miltiades, and nothing to lose.
Except your life.
INSTRUCTIONS:
You begin on the island of Lemnos. Recruit a force and sail to the Chersonese peninsula. Once there, you must locate the four local leaders of the Chersonese. They will be in or around one of the three major cities -- Elaeus, Sestus, and Cardia.
These four local leaders must be killed. Then you must appear at the Sacred Ruins in the north. This ruthless act of political murder -- coupled with your pious supplication at their most holy shrine -- will win you the support of the populace.
NOTE: In each case, the local leader will be a Long Swordsman.
At each step of the way, both the Persian fleet and the native Dolonci tribesmen will try to stop you. However, the priests of the Sacred Shrine are on your side and they have adherents who will help you.
Be ruthless, Miltiades. You are a hero in the making.

ÌïÎv¥√,fiÃÈÚ˜ïÈ⁄ˇK˜ 1.11* Ÿ ≤5 Three years have passed. By 493, the Aegean Basin is in upheaval. From Miletus, you receive word of an uprising against the Persian Empire led by that duplicitous and self-seeking Ionian, Histiaeus, together with his easily deceived son-in-law, Aristagoras.
As unlikely as these men are as candidates for inspiring leadership, their call for rebellion has yielded fruit, and neighboring Thrace has risen up to join them.
Bad news for you, Miltiades.
Because now the Persian Emperor Darius is on the warpath, and the Chersonese -- where you have successfully established your tyranny over the last three years -- is on his short list of new acquisitions. The Persian navy has invested the waters. Persian soldiers have landed. There's nothing to do but run...
But where to?
Athens, in the southwest, is your homeland and the Philaids, your family, can be counted on for support. But what can you give them in exchange? Luckily, the Chersonese has been prosperous. You've amassed a handsome treasury, although most of it is located in Sestus, which is a stone's throw from the Persian city of Abydus.
Risky as it is, your course is clear:
Plunder the treasuries in Cardia and Sestus. And run like hell for home.
But be wary. The Philaids are locked in their own clan rivalry with another powerful Athenian family, the Alcmeonids. Led by that notorious democratic reformer, Cleisthenes, the Alcmeonids are attacking everyone who opposes their radical new system of government.
You will, no doubt, be branded an enemy of democracy once you return to Athens.
Ah well. That is the price of being a man of action.
VICTORY CONDITIONS:
Take the eight treasury war chests to the government center on the Acropolis in Athens.

A large expeditionary force has been sent to invade, subjugate, and punish the city of Athens for her aid to the Ionian rebels eight years earlier.
Arriving in Athens from the Chersonese, you are placed on trial, Miltiades, for your tyrannical governance of that region. But you did support the Ionian rebellion and you are are fervently against the Persians. Because of these qualities, you are acquitted.
Mustering your political resources, you are prepared to become actively involved in repulsing Darius' attack and, as he lands 25,000 troops on the beach of Marathon, you take up the argument vehemently:
We must unite our forces and attack him at once.
No matter that we're outnumbered nearly 3 to 1. No matter that we have no cavalry and our archers are far inferior to his. A sudden attack will repulse his foothold on our land and teach him that Athenians are not to be taken lightly.
One by one, you win over five of the ten Athenian generals. In particular, the generals Aristides, Callimachus, and Cynegirus have brought their troops to Marathon and will place them at your disposal.
It is a time of heroes, Miltiades.
Your determination, your ruthlessness and your wiles will be put to the test.
VICTORY CONDITIONS:
Ride quickly on the road from Athens. Locate Aristides, Callimachus, and Cynegirus. Assemble the troops and drive the Persians from the Plain of Marathon.
Your goal is to break their morale and make them run for their ships.
To do this you must:
1) Kill enough of Darius' elite soldiers to rout them (not the Persian Cavalry, and not the Asian conscripts).
and
2) You must ride onto the beach of Marathon yourself. (It is marked by red single-pole flags.)
Remember, you will only get one charge at the Persian lines. Extensive reconaissance of the area beforehand is a good idea. Use your scouts and light infantry for this. Local inhabitants may also be persuaded to provide some additional support...

Flush from the victory at Marathon, Miltiades, you appear before the Assembly at Athens and ask to be given command of the Athenian fleet.
Your goal: to pursue the Persians and wreak havoc on them as they run.
The Assembly argues the issue with surprising efficiency and a decision is reached. Your old political opponent, Themistocles, is now one of the elected archons. And -- much to your surprise -- he has taken your side. With his political influence working for you, the Assembly is persuaded to accept your plan.
Embarking at once, you pursue the Imperial navy into the Cyclades Islands. But caution is advised. The people of Paros are loyal to the Persians, and they will fight you at every turn.
To the north, the island of Naxos was reduced by Athens several years ago; many of the people there also hate Athenians. Living in primitive conditions, in the ruins of their city, they aren't much of a threat.
And remember: your initiative and your dynamic energy won the day at Marathon.
Why not now?
VICTORY CONDITIONS:
Pursue the Persian fleet through the Cyclades Islands. Destroy as many as you can before they break up and sail to Caria and Cyprus.
For the purposes of this scenario, Miltiades will remain aboard his flagship, which is the single Juggernaught in your fleet. When Darius' fleet has been defeated, he must reach the far eastern corner of the map, along the route to Caria, in order to achieve victory.
SPECIAL NOTE:
You will not be able to build more ships. Use the small Athenian fleet wisely.
You are crippled from wounds sustained in the siege of Paros, confined to a cot, and unable to defend yourself.
And your enemies have gathered in Athens like carrion crows. They are eager to destroy you while you are helpless and out of favor. The Assembly of Athens brings charges against you, and you are put on trial for "deception of the people" -- a form of treason.
Unable to take up your own defense, your turn to your son, Cimon.
Cimon must ride throughout the provinces of Attica and find the witnesses who will testify on your behalf at the rocky knoll of justice called the Areopagus -- the Court of Ares.
The bright noon of your life has passed, Miltiades. Only the energy and devotion of your supporters can save you now from the cold night of death and failure.
VICTORY CONDITIONS:
Cimon must locate the f ive hoplites, one in each of the five clan districts of Attica, who will testify on behalf of the man who led them victory at Marathon.
All five hoplites must make it safely to the Areopagus in Athens where Miltiades stands before the judges. Then Cimon himself must stand by his father's side.
Be careful: Your own clan, the Philaids, may provide you with support, but enemity among the other four families is running high. They will make every effort to stop you.
