The first player to collect 8 relics will win the game alone (even if allied victory is checked in). Each player starts with 1 relic. Additional relics will be produced at your capital on top of the big flags with your color when you complete missions. Be careful not to block the flag, or the relic will not spawn. Each faction can complete 3 missions to gain 3 relics in total; the other relics have to be taken from other players. For conquest missions, the player has to take control of specific custom-named town centers.

You can take control of provinces by constructing town centers on top of the Gaia (White) flags. The named town centers (provinces) will provide a significant amounts of resources every 15min. The Persians can subjugate other factions by building towers next to their provinces. Satrapies pay tribute every 15min to the King of Kings. For a list of how much each province is worth, see the "Scout" section. It's possible to hire mercenary units for gold at the camps spread across the map. Simply place an unit or a building on the bonfire and the mercenary unit will spawn on the flag.

The unit limits are as follows: 30 warships (50 for P1 and 60 for P8), 10 onagers and 1 castle. If you exceed a limit, all of your units/buildings of that type will start to break down. Also, be careful not to exceed the upper pop limit, which is 210 for P1-P7 and 310 for P8. If you exceed the upper pop limit - which is possible through training custom units and hiring mercenaries - all of your military and civilian units will start to die.

PERSIAN EMPIRE
The Persian Empire is the strongest faction, and also control Thrace and Macedon as satrapies in the beginning of the game. It's possible to subjugate or re-subjugate factions by building watch towers next to their main provinces. The satrapies pay tribute to the King of Kings. In the NW part the map, several options are available to the Great King. It's possible to levy troops from satrapies that have at least 50 soldiers, and it's also possible to call for reinforcements from the rest of the Persian Empire that will arrive in the SE corner of the map - including elite units such as Immortals.
