Scipii Gameplay
Summary:
The Scipii start out as a wealthy Roman family, but with a few problems. They're not as respected as the other Roman factions and therefore don't start out with much. However, tasked with eliminating the Carthaginians, they have a vast goal that would elevate them into the hearts of all Romans.
Overall Unit Summary:
In the House of Scipii, powerful Roman legionnaires and cavalry can be trained for the glory of the Senate. Strengths in infantry outweigh that of horse legions, but they are a well-rounded faction, capable of nothing but total domination.
