Siege of Uxellodunum

Column 7 of 8 on the campaign map: The Last Stand, 51 BC

From the legate


51 BC. Drappes and Lucterius of the Cadurci are the last rebels still defying Caesar in Gaul. Their cliff-girt hill town lives on the water of a single spring below its walls. If your cohorts lose these steep slopes, we cannot cut their water and the rebellion will go on.

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.
