Rise of the Republic

*REQUIRES HANNIBAL AT THE GATES EXPANSION CAMPAIGN*

Hildor- The sequel to the Rise of Roma beta I released a while ago, rebuilt from the ground up with seven playable factions - Rome, Samnites, The Etruscan league, Tarentum, Syracuse, Carthage and the Insubres, as well as brand new unit roster overhauls from co-author The Gravemind (creator of mod such as Warriors of the desert and tribes of cisalpina).

The mod takes place in 320 BC, after the Roman defeat at the Caudine forks, with the young republic in a precarious position. Can you be the one to lead Rome to dominance over Italy? Or will you crush the infant republic and change history forever?

Featuring -

- Brand new Roman roster based on the classis system, that can be reformed to produce manipalar legionary forces
- Incorporating Etruscan roster from The Graveminds Etruscan unit pack - with chariots!
- Also including Gravemind's Cisapline unit pack
- New factions such as Umbria, the Messapii, Capua, Picenum and Thurii
- A lack of ballistae (harder to recruit at any rate)

Future Patches and Content:

-Playable Veneti, Liguria, and Umbria
-Mercenary Overhaul adding Italian cultured units
-New Culture Specific Generals
-Overhaul of Garrisons (Remove Manipular Units)

Gravemind's Hints and Tips!

1. Play on Hard to Very Hard difficulty for campaign and Medium for Battles.
2. Rome starts off weak, you will need to research to win the wars.

Gravemind- I put together a screenshot showcase and a little nostalgia from Rome: Total War to set the stage for this campaign. Video has the wrong year but it gets the point across.

I would like to thank Ian for the countless times he has helped me research obscure warriors, armors and info. None of the mods I have made nor this one could have been done without his help and advice. -Gravemind
