Give us Spartacus!!

[Dave Scarface]

Dear CA, whilst we await the release of R2TW with great joy and excitement. I would like to propose an idea for a mini campaign DLC centred on the slave uprising lead by the legendary Spartacus. This would be a campaign with an extended map of Italy where the Romans start off stronger but as Spartacus and his army rampage through Italy and free slaves they become a much bigger military threat. Who will win this ultimate showdown? The army of Gladiators takes on the might of the Roman legions!! This would be a fight for freedom like no other.

Anyway, seeing as though R2TW is obviously looking like the best Total War game ever made. Please can I ask you to give us some interesting DLC's and not just the same old faction and unit DLC packs

[Barbarian Nobility]

Its likely that your idea will probably happen, either its already a historical campaign available ingame or will appear as a DLC...

[SKSlave]

Spartacus will almost certainly appear in the game. The Third Servile War occurred during the game's time frame, and he was in Rome I, so I think we'll be seeing more of our favourite misbehaving Thracian!

Yes, but that would have to be on a small scale if it were done in the campaign and would not do the story of Spartacus any justice. There is no way you could have a massive slave rebellion at home and at the same time be expected to fight your wars with the AI abroad.

Also, this gives you the chance to play as Spartacus and not just fight on the side of the Romans. I would point out as well that R2TW should have 1 DLC entirely focused on the Romans. As this game is first and foremost a game about Rome. And this would be a good opportunity to focus on the map of Italy perhaps including Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica where the slave army could escape to off the mainland and set up base.

The Imjin War also happened during Shogun 2's timeline. Didn't happen.

Someone is too much under impression from Spartacus tv series.

Personally I think there nothing interesting in such campaign. What is main objective in this campaign? Destroy Rome and create fictional Slave Republic?

Yes! What is there not to love, the gladiators and slaves united to "ram cock in ing arse"!! The Romans won't know what hit them

Destroy Rome and create fictional Slave Republic?

After defeating again the consular armies, he settled in the small port of Thurii where according to several myths he created an ideal republic.

I want this!

" you and your little bird you Roman !" (Gladiator to Roman Eagle-bearer)

It has to be released together with a blood and gore pack so we can truly enjoy the bloody vengeance of Spartacus!

"Kill them all!"

"Roman !"

I'm here. How can I help?

By declaring a rebellion against CA if they don't release modding tools

[DogSoldierSPQR]

I wouldn't mind seeing it in but the length of the revolt should be up to us. I don't want it to be scripted to be crippling or anything. On the campaign map, a strategic move against them and one decisive battle right at their inception should put an end to them since Spartacus and his boys were only cunning. They didn't last long when a proper legion came for some tea.

Their success should be measured by our failure.

it would be cool to have Andy Whitfield in the game as Spartacus..

No. Every element of that awful show has no place in the Total War franchise.
