 == CIV BONUSES ==

-   * '''History:''' The Hellenes were skilled architects and builders. Some of their structures have stood for thousands of years.
-   * '''Effect:''' All structures +10% Health (but also +10% longer Build Time).
+   * '''Name: Delian League.'''
+   * '''History:''' Shortly after the great naval victories at Salamis and Mykale, the Greek city-states instituted the so-called Delian League in 478 BC, whose purpose was to push the Persians out of the Aegean region.

+   * '''Effect:''' Ships construct 25% faster.
 
  * '''CB2 '''
    * '''Name: Hellenisation.'''
    * '''History:''' By means of their superior culture and evocative language, the Greeks were highly successful in Hellenising various foreigners. During the Hellenistic Age, Greek was the 'lingua franca' of the Ancient World, spoken widely from Spain to India.
-   * '''Effect:''' Every 90 seconds, a random unit from another civilisation is produced from the Theatron and comes under control of the player. This occurs automatically and without cost - though each unit will require sufficient population slots to support. Units with construction capability will only be able to build Hellenic structures. Requires: Theatron Special Structure.
+   * '''Effect:''' Constructing an expensive Theatron increases the territory expanse of all buildings by 20%.
 
 == TEAM BONUS: ==
  * '''TB '''
-   * '''Name: Oracle at Delphi.'''
-   * '''History: '''The sacred Oracle of Apollo at Delphi was among the most highly cherished sanctuaries by Hellenes and foreigners alike. The Lydian king Croesus, for example, consulted the advice of the god before going to war with Cyrus the Great of Persia.
-   * '''Effect:''' All units and allied units have increased LOS. ~ 10%
+   * '''Name: Silver Coinage.'''
+   * '''History:''' The mines at Laureion in Attica provided Athens with a wealth of silver from which to mint her famous and highly prized coin, The Athenian Owl.
+   * '''Effect:''' All metal mining technologies researched automatically for free upon each settlement phase completion.
 
 == TECHNOLOGIES ==
- * '''Infantry:''' Very good, probably the best in the game. All technologies. Archers are the exception: neither here, nor there. Archery techs average.
- * '''Cavalry: '''Mediocre to poor (except for Hetairoi, which are excellent). Nothing to match the cavalry of the Persians, for instance.
- * '''Naval: '''Very good. Almost all technologies.
+ * '''Infantry:''' Very good. Almost all technologies. Ranged units are the exception: neither here, nor there. Ranged techs average.

  * '''Siege:''' Good. Most technologies.
  * '''Economy:'''
    * '''Farming:''' Mediocre. They should get some of the technologies, but not the most advanced ones.
-   * '''Mining:''' Very good. Almost all, if not all, technologies. Silver and gold mines have been discovered and exploited in Greece and Macedonia. Coinage was highly developed, especially after the reform of Philip II.
+   * '''Mining:''' Very good. Almost all, if not all, technologies. Coinage was highly developed.
    * '''Lumbering:''' Mediocre. Same as farming.

+   * '''Hunting:''' Very limited. It was practised mostly as a sport by the rich.
    * '''Land Trade:''' Mediocre. Definitely nothing to match that of the best civs in the area.
    * '''Naval Trade:''' Very good, one of the best in the game. Almost all techs.
-   * '''Architecture:''' Above average. I would say something on the order of 80% of that of the Persians. Better for the Poleis branch than for the Macedonians.
-   * '''Defences: '''Poleis - Very good. Macedonia - 80% of those of Poleis.
+   * '''Architecture:''' Above average. I would say something on the order of 80% of that of the Persians.

 == SPECIAL TECHNOLOGIES ==
- * '''ST1 '''
+ * '''ST1'''
    * '''Name: Othismos.'''
    * '''History:''' The classical phalanx formation was developed about VIII century BC. It was eight men deep and over two hundred men wide, and used overlapping shields and combined pushing power. "Othismos" refers to the point in a phalanx battle where both sides try to shove each other out of formation, attempting to breaking up the enemy lines and routing them.
-   * '''Effect:''' The player gains the ability to order his troops into a PHALANX formation, providing +30% Attack and +30% Pierce Armour if attacked from the front.
-
- * '''ST2 '''
-   * '''Name: Delian League.'''
-   * '''History:''' Shortly after the great naval victories at Salamis and Mykale, the Greek city-states instituted the so-called Delian League in 478 BC, whose purpose was to push the Persians out of the Aegean region. The allied states contributed ships and money, while the Athenians offered their entire navy.
-   * '''Effect:''' Triremes are 20% cheaper and build 20% faster.
-   * '''Alt Effect:''' A possible alternative effect would be to make each Trireme built act like a "relic" that grants the player a (very small) trickle of Metal resource, since the Athenians used their fleet to police the shipping lanes of the Aegean and to extort payment from their "allies" and subject cities.
+   * '''Effect:''' The player gains the ability to order his troops into a Phalanx formation, providing +30% Attack and +30% Pierce Armour if attacked from the front.
+
+ * '''ST2'''
+   * '''Name: Long Walls.'''
+   * '''History:''' The Long Walls of Athens were constructed under the auspices of the wily Themistokles and extended 6 km from the city to the port of Piraeus. This secured the city's sea supply routes and prevented an enemy from starving out the city during a siege.
+   * '''Effect:''' The Athenians can build their stone walls in neutral territory. Construction time for walls is reduce by 50%.
+
+ * '''ST3'''
+   * '''Name: Iphicratean Reforms.'''
+   * '''History:''' -.
+   * '''Effect:''' Athenian triremes can train Marines (Epibastes Athenaikos).
