Civilization V: Persia Guide - Darius I

Playing as Darius I, King of Persia might not be the most obvious choice when you start a game of Civ 5, but despite the relative anonymity in modern history this is a powerful civilization. To win in Civ V, Persia needs to focus on its key strengths - the Immortal unit, early expansion and the ability to generate culture more readily than most other civilizations.
