Camp of the Tarusates

Column 4 of 8 on the campaign map: Armorica and Aquitania, 56 BC

From the legate


56 BC. The Aquitani have called in veteran leaders who once served the rebel Sertorius in Spain. They camp and fight like Romans, and they cut off our supplies to starve us. If your cohorts fail in these hills, our weakened legions will starve and be destroyed.

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.

56 BC
  • 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.

You will face

  • Aquitanian Light Horse
    Cavalry
  • Warband

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.

Units that shine here

    vs Cavalry:a pike wall breaks horsemen.

  • Legionaries

    vs Infantry:stand even with Gallic foot; take the high ground.

    vs Ranged:swords run down slingers and skirmishers.

  • Archers

    vs Spear:arrows thin a spear line before it reaches you.
