Revolt of the Eburones

Column 5 of 8 on the campaign map: The Ardennes, 54–53 BC

From the legate


53 BC. Caesar hunts Ambiorix through the Ardennes to avenge our fallen brothers at Atuatuca. Druids march among the warbands, driving them on with holy fury. If you lose these woods, the traitor Ambiorix will escape justice and our dead will lie unavenged.

The briefing as the game gives it, before the battle.

The battlefield

Every new campaign generates this battlefield from its own seed: the same map for every retry, a new one for the next campaign.

  • An enemy camp. A Gallic camp hides in the woods at the edge of the field and is found mid-battle. Until it burns it sends raiders at the houses and its own wave; its veteran guards never leave it. The battle is won only once it has burned.
