The First Triumvirate - Features List
It was suggested I list some of the features of TFT for new users... if anyone has suggestions for expanding this list, post in this thread and I'll update this post as warranted.
THE FIRST TRIUMVIRATE v1.9a
A late Roman Republic mod for RTW v1.5
Take command as Caesar, Crassus, Pompey or Vercingetorix in the waning days of the Roman Republic.
Four campaigns are included:
Caesar - 58 BC
Will you conquer Gaul and cross the Rubicon?
Crassus in the East - 53 BC
Will you defeat the Parthians and return to assert yourself as Rome's master?
Pompey - 49 BC
Will you escape to Greece and build an army capable of defeating Caesar?
The Gallic Rebellion - 53 BC
Will you lead a successful revolt to free Gaul from the Roman yoke for all time?
Some features of The First Triumvirate include:
* Unique victory conditions - earn Triumphs that will eventually the envious Pompey to side with the Senate to defeat you.
* Challenging gameplay - a combination of stronger AI units and a modified version of Darth Formations v12.0 make the battlefield a more challenging place. Victory tastes that much sweeter when you have to EARN it.
* Four turns per year - and other scripted enhancements such as client kings offering troops, Triumphal Arches, and more. Plus winter movement and morale penalties to make seasonal campaigning that much more important.
* Historic characters - your leader, your heir, your generals are all historic Romans of the period - accurately placed in the appropriate factions.
* Beautiful skins - Warspite, Ferres, Webbird, Abu, Rico, Atilla_Reloaded and the many artists that have contributed to RTR are represented here to bring TFT some great looking units.
* Easy to install and play - the First Triumvirate v1.9 uses the -mod: switch functionality provided by RTW. This means that no files are modified or installed that will prevent you from playing regular RTW games. And our campaigns launch as easily as RTW itself - just double click the campaign exe you want to play and you're off!

Some Gameplay Information - TAKE NOTE!
*******************************************
1. The triumph and victory conditions for each faction are listed on the faction leader's character scroll - mousing over these will inform you as to what conditions need to be met to achieve the various triumphs and ultimate victory.
2. The advisor is used extensively throughout the TFT campaigns - be sure to read what she has to say and respond appropriately!
3. You will find your movement and (in the case of Roman armies) troop morale reduced during Winter turns. Plan accordingly.
4. The AI armies are tough - you cannot charge them head-on and expect easy victories like in regular RTW - you will need to carefully plan and execute your tactics from battle to battle.
5. Romans cannot build archers! Make sure you check the mercenary pools in various provinces and you should be able to supplement your legions with a good mix of auxiliary troops.
