Re: New Reality Seeds
Darius-3. Persia wins the Second Peloponnesian War leading to a bunch of Athenians escaping the destruction of Athens to Syracuse and Syracuse becoming the implacable enemy to Persia. As a result Syracuse is more militarized and ends up beating Rome and Carthage, becoming the leader of a fractious alliance and mercantile network stretching from Iberia to Anatolia until the Macedonians kick over the board by conquering Greece and Anatolia. The Syracusans are in decline now but the Emporians have rising to dominate most of Iberia and are exploring the seas with new ocean going ships.
