History

We begin in the Ancient Age, where the first civilizations arise as the Chinese, the Romans, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Indians, among others. As the game begins and consequently the research of new technologies begins to obtain advantages, we will be advancing of ages, from the previous mentioned Ancient Age, passing through the Middle Ages up to the Age or Century of the Information that is our present epoch

We begin with the Ancient Age where one of its most representative civilizations is the Ancient Greece where were the different Greek Cities States or Polis such as Sparta, Athens, Thebes, Argos, Corinth, Elis, Macedonia, Mycenae, Tirinth, Flegias, among others. Which despite sharing the same language and culture, had an organization very different from each other, for example speaking of the two most important, mainly Sparta (Although sometimes is not considered as a Greek Poli, because it had no walls unlike the rest of them) was ruled by a Monarchy, while Athens was ruled by a Democracy, this is a small example although we can also mention its difference between education its citizens for example, in Sparta both men and women were educated mainly for war and had the same rights, in Athens they were educated mainly in the development of literature, and different economic tasks, and women did not have the same rights as men. Even so, despite their differences, it should be emphasized that they united against common enemies such as the Persian Empire, among others.
