Helvetii Migration

Column 1 of 8 on the campaign map: The Helvetii, 58 BC

From the legate


58 BC. The Helvetii burned their own towns and now march west with their wives and children. Caesar refused them passage through the Province, so they turn on our position in these open fields. If your cohorts fail to throw back their warriors, this whole people will overrun our borders and plunder our allies.

  • The opening battle. Every new campaign starts here, with two squads of militia against three small warbands, the same on every difficulty. Until it is won, a defeat starts the campaign afresh at this village.

  • Warband
    Infantry

Three small warbands come out of the mist, one wave after another, the same on every difficulty.

Units that shine here

Here you have only militia: raw levies with short swords, good against missile troops and weak against horsemen. Back in camp you train your squads into legionaries, archers or spearmen.
