193- Price of an Empire

**Flavius Nevitta** · August 18, 2007, 03:37 AM

Hi!

I'm currently working on a new mod. It covers the time from 193CE to 285CE.

The campaign starts after the assassination of the Emperor Pertinax. The Praetorians had sold the throne to Didius Julianus. Septimius Severus marched on Rome to take revenge for Pertinax and Didius was killed and the Praetorians dismissed but two other governors had themselves declared emperor at the same time.

Here the mod starts:

the following factions are in the game so far (if you have any suggestions please tell me):

Septimii Severi: holding the biggest part of the western empire and controlling most of the Western legions.
Pescennii: emperor in the east, holding all the eastern provinces and legions.
Clodii Albini: controlling Britannia and parts of northern gaul. 3 legions from britain plus many auxiliae (at the start; when you capture a legion's base you can recruit it)
Caledonians:up up in the north of Britain.
Marcomanni: Germanic tribe at the danubian boarder
Chatti: Germanic tribe at the Rhine boarder
Svebi: another germanic union of tribes at the Roman boarder
Sarmatae: well we know them don't we
Armenia: we know them as well lol
Garamantes: practically the new Numidian faction desert tribes.
Parthia: have their huge empire now but besides the Romans their other problem will be:
Sasanid Persians: emerging horde faction. pop up out of nowhere in the Persian heartland but I won't tell you when

Other things:

-named Roman legions (yes all of them which existed in 193, that's 32 and those new severan Praetorians lol)
-variety of Roman auxiliary cavalry and infantry
-still thinking of which individual units to create for the different germanic tribes.
-Parthian civil war
- oh and before I forget: historical Romans even if they have weird names like L. Marius Maximus Perpetuus Aurelianus

any ideas welcome!
