Historical leaders and civilizations are a core part of the fun of strategy games like Ara: History Untold, allowing players to roleplay as their own culture and change the course of history, or be as faithful as possible to how things went in our world.

Ara: History Untold is starting out with quite an impressive line-up of leaders and nations – with a lot of emphasis being placed on the leaders. These are not just recruited from among the lists of statesmen and stateswomen, but come from all walks of life. Some of the additions were artists, scientists, or activists, making the roster feel quite fresh and new overall, despite some classic names being represented as well.

A few civilizations are represented by more than one leader, and these examples show that the nations themselves aren’t really that unique in the game – their special traits and bonuses all come from the leader representing them. For the reasoning behind this choice, read our Ara: History Untold developer interview.

Find all civilizations and leaders in Ara: History Untold below.
