Many of you may be quite interested in the game "Empire: Scepter and Civilization." In the game, the Persian civilization can be said to be very powerful. So, how should new players play the Persian civilization well? Today, I will bring you a guide on the Persian civilization in Empire: Scepter and Civilization, hoping to help those who need it. Without further ado, let's dive right in.
In "Empire: Scepter and Civilization," the Persian civilization has its unique charm and features. Overall, the gameplay of the Persian civilization leans more towards "crafting equipment and acquiring heroes." Whether you are a small R, medium R, or a developmental player, you can try using the Persian civilization to expand your empire and conquer new territories. Next, I will introduce the characteristics of the Persian civilization one by one.
Firstly, regarding the military supplies of the Persian civilization, as an indispensable feature among all civilizations, compared to other civilizations that provide certain buffs to teammates, the Persian civilization's military supplies do this: "Both you and the target player receive 1 piece of 'Persian Military Supplies.' Players can open the 'Persian Military Supplies' in the warehouse, and based on the sender's main city level, randomly obtain 1 piece of random equipment. Using military supplies will grant a certain amount of support value." Although the Persian civilization does not have the attack buffs of other civilizations, it possesses the most formidable and unique "equipment acquisition" in the entire "Empire" series. This allows us and our teammates to quickly accumulate equipment in the early stages, arm soldiers, and possess strong combat capabilities from the beginning.
Of course, as the saying goes, "troops move when the provisions lead," the Persian civilization also has its unique building, the "Transfer Station," with the effect being: "The Transfer Station allows you or friendly players to use the 'Reinforce' command to march to the building, immediately restoring all wounded soldiers and directly using the reserve troops in your main city to replenish the army. When friendly players replenish their troops, the builder gains support value for troop replenishment." This building gives the Persian civilization's army extremely strong endurance and continuous combat power. Especially on the large map, we can build different transfer stations according to different terrains, so that we always have a full-strength army ready at any time. In prolonged attrition battles, the Persian civilization is undoubtedly the first.
The unique attack skill of the Persian civilization, "Fire Attack," perfectly complements the Persian "prolonged warfare," with the effect being: "You can use the 'Fire Attack' command on neutral or hostile plots, releasing a fire attack effect that deals 1% damage per minute to the troops or buildings on the plot. You can use the 'Extinguish' command on plots/buildings already under fire attack status to extinguish the fire attack effect." It can be seen that, playing the Persian civilization, as long as we besiege for long enough and continuously use fire attacks on the enemy's city fortresses, no matter how high the defense of the opposing buildings is, we will eventually capture them. Coupled with the transfer station and our military supply effects, we can completely afford to wear down the enemy, whether in terms of equipment or the number of troops, we have an absolute advantage in such battles.
Of course, the Persian civilization, which can be played both in the early and late game, is not just about "offensive" bonuses. The Persian-specific "Divine Artisan" allows us to recover one command every eight hours after unlocking a wonder, and upon use, immediately gain a piece of equipment and a warhorse, or a treasure. And its civilization traits, such as Coinage: increased copper coin production speed, Forging: obtaining high-level equipment through forging, horse training, and treasure hunting, enhancing the probability of high-level equipment output, Trade: increasing the probability of meeting high-level heroes through overseas trade, and Exchange: improving the resource exchange ratio through trade, all allow us to continuously roll the snowball in our operations. The acquisition of heroes and high-level equipment can continuously improve the quality of our army, allowing us to successfully create the legendary "Immortal Army" of Persia.
Therefore, the overall gameplay of the Persian civilization becomes clear: In the early stage, accumulate military supplies and use the acquired equipment to attack surrounding small countries, allowing yourself to develop quickly. In the mid-game, build transfer stations at key points on the map, avoid hard fights, and engage in prolonged warfare, constantly wearing down the opponent. In the late game, quickly form a powerful Persian army through high-level equipment and heroes, and win the game. Of course, looking at the entire set of gameplay, the weakest period is actually the mid-game, where our construction ability is not strong enough to support a large number of transfer stations, and the scarcity of hero units and high-level equipment makes us relatively weak against powerful offensive civilizations during the mid-game. Therefore, I suggest that players focus on stable development during the mid-game, look around for any neutral cities that can be attacked, and accumulate resources, waiting for the snowball to roll in the late game, gradually improving the situation.
Above is the guide and gameplay overview of the Persian civilization in Empire: Scepter and Civilization that I have brought to you. I hope it helps those who need it. For those who like the early or late game, be sure to try the Persian civilization; I believe it will definitely amaze you!
