Xerxes, King of Kings

Agenda

Lord of Fire: Decrease Relationship by a Medium Amount when a player is not at war. Increase Relationship by a Small Amount when a player is at war.

Xerxes inherited the Achaemenid Empire at a time of crisis and guided it to greatness. Swiftly crushing two uprisings upon taking power, he set his sights on Greece and invaded in 480 BCE. After defeat at Salamis ended his European ambitions, Xerxes shifted his attention from expansion to enrichment, devoting his treasury to architectural masterpieces, testaments to the triumph he bestowed on his people and the fear he provoked in his enemies.
