Over the last few weeks, we’ve given you a look at some of the new content that will be available in the Persia DLC, coming to Myth of Empires later this year. This week, we will showcase some of the buildings and architecture that will come with the DLC.
The “Persian Basic Building Components”, as the name suggests, are the first Persian-style building components that players will encounter in this sandy realm. This set is based on the style of the ruins of Persepolis, and restores the architectural features of that period.
Persepolis, an important site of the ancient civilization built by Darius the Great, was at one time the royal city of the Achaemenid Empire. Its grand scale and unique style embodied the political, economic, and cultural achievements of ancient Persia. After Alexander the Great conquered Persia in 330 BC, the city gradually declined and fell into ruin.
Persepolis featured characteristics emblematic of its era. Its hundreds of towering columns, majestic terraced entrances, and splendid relief art showcase elements from Persian, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Greek cultures, reflecting the level of integration of Persepolis.
In the Persian Civilization DLC for Myth of Empires, the development team will integrate the designs characteristic of Persepolis, including various column structures and terraced platforms. We’ve also placed focus to detail in some relief designs, such as the bull and lion symbols which symbolize strength and majesty, as well as depictions of kings, envoys, and soldiers which symbolize political power and diplomatic relations.
In addition to the basic building recipes featured above, we are also developing more advanced buildings, with the aim of giving players a wealth of building options to choose from.
The Myth of Empires Persia DLC is expected to be released later this year. Players are welcome to share their ideas and feedback regarding future development content in our official communities and forums. Stay tuned for future announcements!
