==Confirmed Information==
  
−
* The Babylonians will be a Pro Civilization. Like the [[Persian]]s, this new civilization would require a premium purchase of 900 [[Empire Points]] and start at level 20, with quick access to Sparta PvP, Argos, and a few custom quests.
  
−
* There will be a repeatable demo to try out the Babylonians before committing to the purchase (similar to [[Persia in Peril (DEMO)|Persia in Peril]]).
  
−
* [[Gas Powered Games]] describes the Babylonians as a "very economics focused civ". "Where they really shine is their ability to build a strong economy, and quickly."
  
⚫
* A new unique unit called the [[Ox Cart]] will act as a mobile storehouse.
  
−
* There are two new confirmed military units, the [[Shield Bearer]] and [[Lancer]]. The Shield Bearer will have high pierce armor, while being susceptible to anti-infantry units. In a similar sense to [[Woad Raider]]s, Lancers will be anti-infantry cavalry that can rush into enemy units once they get into range.
