Campaign[]
In southern Anatolia lies the city of Tarhuntassa, Kurunta’s own tyrannical fiefdom and a mere fragment of the once-great Hittite kingdom. Driven by cunning and cruelty, Kurunta has only one goal: to relish in the suffering of others.
Kurunta starts in southern Hatti, near Cyprus. He hates Suppiluliuma and wants to overthrow him - the bronze of Cyprus will help with that. His armies do not shoot, but they make up for it in aggression.
