The Anušiya, or Persian Immortal, guards the life and honor of the Great King, the Shah-an-Shah, of the Achaemenid Empire. They are the heaviest infantry of the Persian army and are trained from the Taçara, aka Winter Palace.

We're a free, opensource RTS game akin to AOE 3, made by a team of volunteers across the world.
The engine was made for mods so there are a lot of possibilities to make RTSes
We're currently migrating to @giteaio to ease contributing.
