Hubris: Twilight of the Hellenistic World 220-165 BCE

Players take the roles of 2nd century BC Hellenistic kings vying for personal and dynastic power across the Eastern Mediterranean. The game models royal households, military campaigns, diplomacy, and provincial governance as each ruler deploys family members, friends, and advisers to lead armies, conduct missions, and administer territories. Conflict with rival great kingdoms, rising minor states, restless leagues of cities, and external incursions creates competing strategic pressures. Players balance warfare, alliance-making, and internal management to expand influence or preserve autonomy over a landscape of shifting power.
