Cyrus the Great is probably the most impressive ancient ruler you've never heard of, and Rise of Persia, a total conversion mod for Rome Total War is all about his conquests and the founding of the mighty Achaemenid Persian Empire. Featuring a wide array of factions including (of course) Persia, but also Babylon, Media, Egypt, and the Greek city states of Athens and Sparta, the mod brings to life a very vibrant and underrated period of ancient history.

Courtesy of the talented modder Lucius Papirius Cursor, Rise of Persia has now been ported to Rome Remastered, improved with bug fixes, new factions and more. It is available on the steam workshop.
