Description

The Ancient Faction is a Faction that contains multiple Units such as Ancient, Greek, and Roman soldiers. These units are moderately priced. This faction gets the primary usage of its units from strategy, (Like the Romans and Greeks were famous for), by favoring the use of shields along with spears. Some units are inspired by Greek mythology, like Zeus for example.

Maps

	Ancient 1 Old Seaside Greek Town, with a giant Hoplite statue and a lighthouse and is almost symmetrical in appearance, and this map includes Artemis.
	Ancient 2 A hillside clustered by several temples, one in which can be found the Teacher.
	Ancient Sandbox A big open area that has plenty of space to place units. On the sides there are two towns, and at the very top of the map there is a mountain with a temple on top. You can get the Fan Bearer, Cupid, and Chu Ko Nu here.

Trivia

• The Ballista used to be in the Medieval (Crusaders) faction but was switched to the Greece Faction in Closed Alpha. This was because it was designed by the Romans and, also, the Ancient Faction was underpowered.
• The Greece Faction didn't have its own map back in Closed Alpha. Units from this faction could be found in Scotland, Sahara, and Denmark in the campaign.
• During the Roman Republic, the Romans used a machine similar to the Ballista known as the Scorpio. It is more like a long-range sniper than an artillery piece that was used to target specific people.
• The Ballista is believed to have been based on the Scorpio.
• Members of this Faction appeared as early as the Pre-Alpha.
• Sarissa was a kind of spear that was used by the infantry of Alexander the Great.
• The Ancient faction has the second most expensive secret unit, Artemis, which was previously the first, before it was nerfed while the Ice Giant was buffed.
