| DESCRIPTION It is
the year 56 B.C. The Roman Republic is torn by civil war. The historical
three-man council (the first Triumvirate between Caesar, Pompeius, and Crassus)
could not be renewed at the conference at Luca, and a bitter struggle broke out
between the three rivals.
Now they are trying to eliminate one another, to gain supremacy over the Roman
empire. But in order to gain power, they have to exhibit skill in politics as
well as in military strategy - or preferably both!
In addition they demand supply from their provinces, move their legions
through their opponents' spheres of influence, and try to bring the citizens of
Rome onto their side.
Different paths lead to the ultimate goal, the individual ascendancy. Because
even when there is occasionally pragmatic cooperation to cut a particularly
successful rival down to size: in the end, only one can win. May Jupiter smile
on you!
