== In-Game ==
Darius I speaks an ancient form of Aramaic, as it was used in the Achaemenid Empire. (This is why it was chosen over Old Persian of the old Parsi people, Avestan of the native religion of Zoroastrianism, or Modern Persian of Iran, where the modern descendants of the Ancient Persians live.) On his diplomacy screen, he is in his palace at Persepolis with murals of Immortals and golden, divine art behind him.

=== Personality and Behavior ===
Darius tends to go for either a scientific or cultural victory, but will almost never attempt a domination victory.
Unsurprisingly, Darius' main emphasis is . He also tends to try to get as much as possible.
Darius will generally have a small offensive army, but a large defensive army and well-defended cities. His empire will also have numerous tile improvements and one of the better infrastructures.
Darius is not very willing to forgive, but will very rarely turn hostile, unless the player is a warmonger. He is not very bold, either, and is one of the leaders more likely to be afraid.
Darius has a strong tendency to demand tribute from city-states.

== Intro ==
The blessings of heaven be upon you, beloved king Darius of Persia! You lead a strong and wise people. In the morning of the world, the great Persian leader Cyrus revolted against the mighty Median empire and by 550 BC, the Medes were no more. Through cunning diplomacy and military prowess, great Cyrus conquered wealthy Lydia and powerful Babylon. His son conquering proud Egypt some years later. Over time, Persian might expanded into far away Macedonia, at the very door of the upstart Greek city-states. Long would Persia prosper until the upstart villain Alexander of Macedon, destroyed the great empire in one shocking campaign.
Darius, your people look to you to once again bring back the days of power and glory for Persia! The empire of your ancestors must emerge again, to triumph over its foes and to bring peace and order to the world! O king, will you answer the call? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?
