1200 BC - From Greece to Egypt, the social and political system of the Bronze Age collapsed. Amid war and chaos, the great palaces of the ancient Greek kings and the strong fortress of Troy were destroyed. Hittite rule in Asia Minor was ended forever, and the Hittites disappeared from history. Destruction visited the cities of Cyprus and Syria. A mysterious group, the Peoples of the Sea, were abroad on the seas, and Egypt fought against them for its very existence. Players must pre-register on the Fanaticus Forum for selected armies.
