Column 6 of 8 on the campaign map: The Great Revolt, 52 BC
52 BC. Vercingetorix has gathered his own Arverni to defend their capital on this high plateau. They fight with fanatical courage to keep Caesar's legions from their stronghold. If your cohorts are pushed from these steep slopes, the heart of the great rebellion will survive.
The briefing as the game gives it, before the battle.
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.
They come out of the mist in waves. How many depends on the squads you send, how far your campaign has come and its difficulty.
vs Infantry:stand even with Gallic foot; take the high ground.
vs Ranged:swords run down slingers and skirmishers.
vs Cavalry:a pike wall breaks horsemen.
vs Spear:arrows thin a spear line before it reaches you.
