## Gameplay

Every faction in the game can recruit any General, who can carry up to 200 units, which are divided in 15 different units per faction. The main goal is to conquest all enemy fortresses, but there are other victory conditions, too. There are many buildings in the fortress of all factions: Barracks, Archery Range, Stable, Temple etc.

The Campaign mode allows the player to choose any major faction that appeared in history (Romans, Gauls, Egyptians, Parthians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Britons, Germans etc.), just like in Alea Iacta Est. There is always an ending for each faction in each Campaign.

The Conquest mode allows the player to choose a civilization / faction and conquest every single territory in the map. Every victory for the player makes him gain a new advantage: more gold, more food, new units, a new general.

The Battle mode allows the player to select all the awaible factions, with up to 8 players.
