;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.5 (29 May 2011)
NOT SAVED GAME COMPATIBLE

- Numidian and Mauretanian units have been re-skinned to give them more of an African skin tone.
- Multiple characters now have their own specific campaign and battle models. This was done by re-skinning the generals and cloning the faces from pictures of the actors in the HBO Rome series. The characters with their own specific models follow:
- Gaius Julius Caesar

NOT SAVED GAME COMPATIBLE
Changes:
- Fog of War Bug fixed
- Additional character portraits from HBO Rome added.
- Historical ancillaries updated to ensure they appear in appropriate time periods.
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.3 (10 May 2011)
NOT SAVED GAME COMPATIBLE
Changes:
- Thanks to the hard work of christophoros a complete and historically accurate Julii-Caesares family tree has been added.
- The events file has been updated so you will no longer see event messages for events of a different era. For example, you will no longer see this inappropriate event message, "Roman soldiers have recently arrested some suspicious, foreign-looking men who turned out to be Macedonian ambassadors sent by their king to negotiate an alliance with Rome's arch-enemy, Carthage. Although Macedon will most likely soon send other diplomats, the Romans are now warned and additional warships have been dispatched to the Adriatic Sea in order to prevent any invasion of Italy by the troublesome Greeks."
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.2 (07 May 2011)
NOT SAVED GAME COMPATIBLE
Changes:
- Improved the defensive strength of Marcus Antonius' bodyguard unit. In previous versions he was very prone to being killed by spearmen during the Siege of Alesia. Since, one victory condition is that he survives until January 31BC it was necessary to improve his odds of surviving this battle.
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.1 (06 May 2011)
SAVED GAME COMPATIBLE
Fixes:
- Hot Fix for the Survivor Script Included
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In conclusion, I hope you enjoy the campaign. If you do not enjoy it let me know what you do not like about it. I will utilize your positive criticism to make DOTR better.
