This will be a true test of your military skills. Thanks to the new mechanics, this will be a totally different gaming experience to what you know from previous Imperiums games, so start your conquests carefully with a clear mind. You will need good stamina to fight your way through the Gallic and British interiors. Planning two steps ahead of your opponents will be also crucial because your opponents are fighting for their very survival and are desperate to survive.
There are two consecutive maps, Gallic wars and the British Isles. You can either transit from the first one to the second by completing a particular victory condition to continue your conquests or you can play them separately.
You enter the game at a time when the consuls in Rome are trying to usurp more power from the Senate and Caesar has been appointed the governor of Transalpine Gaul. To advance his political career he will need victories in Gaul.
Of course, if you are daring enough, you can lead one of the Gallic, Celtic or Germanic tribes and try to stop the invading Romans. Beware though, the Romans are hard to beat and their power-hungry general is ready to pay the highest cost to make Gaul, Germania and Britannia the new northernmost Roman provinces.
The new mechanics make the game more tactical bringing a fresh breeze into the series:
- Two consecutive maps that allow transition from one campaign map to another.
- Time scale reduced to weeks, slows down citizens birth rate and that in turn limits recruitment options. Some building actions (e.g. building roads, bridges, etc.) last longer (think in weeks!) which greatly affects the extension of supply lines (this is THE most important thing to keep in mind).
- Romans can only build 1st and 2nd tier units, new legions can be only obtained through Objectives, decisions made in Politics in Rome, or State Decisions.
- Weather and seasons affect the battle readiness of the units as well as the range of supply lines which has a profound effect on your strategy.
- Commanders (Caesar, Vercingetorix and Cassivellaunus) hike up the morale of your warriors but they can be a liability. Guard your commander at all costs!
- Politics in Rome brings the greater arena of the events of Mediterranean into focus and forces you to take decisions that might affect your current campaign, both in positive and negative ways.
