## Description
In _Tyrant of Athens_ the player becomes the ruler of a Greek city-state. The
game starts in Athens, Vth century BCE, surrounded by rival Greek cities and
the hostile Persian Empire. The gameplay is similar to that of Hammurabi \-
each year the player must make decisions vital to the survival of the polis:
choosing the number of troops to train, warships and merchant ships to built,
units of food to export/import (to sustain the population), to how many allies
grant the citizenship (yet they may desert or even rebel) – all of the above
makes expenses from the treasury. You’ll also respond to attacking
armies/fleets (whether to fight back or pay them a tribute). The game plays up
to 30 turns, but may end earlier if you suffer disasters and defeats.
