I suppose empires fall under this one:Is there no attempt to represent the Athenian Empire and Peloponnesian War, or am I missing something? Not really familiar with this game.
Athens benefits from having eight special missions at its disposal. There is no penalty in not doing them, but if you succeed, you’ll get extra legacy points and a special reward. Also note that if you fail a mission and if it is still valid, you might get it again in the future. Examples: Build an Academy for your philosophers, Form the Delian League, Rival Macedonia, etc.
But as the game is supposed to be open, there would be little point in enforcing the peloponnesian war. However, if the mechanisms of rivalry between Athens and Sparta are well done, a large war between then would be inevitable at some point(and actrually, one of the arguments for the advocates of the Peoloponnesian War in both Athens and Sparta was that war between them was inevitable anyway, so they could as well initiate it).
