Diadochi missions

This article is about the mission tree called 'Hellenistic Empire'. For the Hellenistic culture group formable, see Hellenistic Empire.

With the Heirs of Alexander Content Pack, all five Diadochi kingdoms ( Antigonid Kingdom Egypt Macedon Seleukid Empire Thrace) as well as Epirus have a special mission tree dedicated to reclaiming the conquests of Alexander the Great and restore the Hellenistic Empire.

Hellenistic Empire[edit | edit source]

A devastating civil war has threatened to destroy the empire forged by [alexander_scope.GetPraenomen] and his generals. As we assert our control over an increasing amount of this fallen empire we must ask ourselves what type of Empire it is that we want to build. If our legacy is to be longer lasting than that of Alexander we must strive to realize the Hellenistic vision he had, building an imperial culture that encompasses all the elites of the empire.
