Sword & Sandals? Heck yea, I like it. Are we looking at a sort of conquered/absorbed empire with competing successors situation or just the general cultural mash up of western/eastern influences?

Hopefully, both. We'll have an Alexander figure likely that some people think is a demigod, and a ton of Hellenic vs. Persian/Indian sorts of things, as well as an aspiring nation to the East and a massive trade empire, not to mention the broken kingdoms smack dab in the center of the map.
