Conquests
The Conquests are official scenarios, nine of which are included in this expansion, Mesopotamia, the Rise of Rome, the Fall of Rome, the Middle Ages in Europe, Mesoamerica, the Age of Discovery, the Napoleonic Wars, the Sengoku period in Japan, and the Pacific Theater of World War II. The first Conquest, Mesopotamia is centered around building the 7 Wonders of the World. There are seven civilizations, all of them playable; Egypt, Mycenae, Babylon, Medes, Phoenicia, Sumeria, and the Hittites. Michael Soracoe, aka Sullla, described Mesopotamia as "the most peaceful of the Conquests and that due to the peaceful nature of the scenario, it "is not a very good Conquest for multiplayer." Rise of Rome features four major civs: Rome, Carthage, Persia, and Macedon. Rome is in a locked war with Carthage, as is Macedon with Persia. Four non=playable nations are also present: Egypt, Celtia, Scythia, and the Goths. The goal is to defeat your locked enemy and become the dominant power on the Mediterranean.

Famous quotes containing the word conquests:
“The world there was the flat world of the ancients; to the east, a cornfield that stretched to daybreak; to the west, a corral that reached to the sunset; between, the conquests of peace, dearer-bought than those of war.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The fame of heroes owes little to the extent of their conquests and all to the success of the tributes paid to them.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
