Western Roman Empire Gameplay Information
Summary:
Rome has split into two separate empires. The West is on a steady decline, and many barbarians have joined the ranks of the armies. A western Roman player’s greatest challenge is holding the remnants together, while trying to fend off other powers. However, they still have the powerful armies that one would expect.
Overall Unit Summary:
Strong infantry, but some cavalry limitations. Not all units are pure Roman as they were in the times of the Roman Republic, but instead are filled with barbarians.
