Spartacus Imperator

Smash your chains and fight for your liberty ! Taking the places of Spartacus (-73 to -71), Tryphon (-104 to -101) or Eunus (-139 to -132), during the three Servile Wars which shook the Roman Empire, defy the Roman Consuls (Crassus, Pompey and others) by liberating slaves, ravaging the countryside and pillaging cities in the heart of Italy. Recruit your armies amongst the enslaved warrior tribes of the Gauls, the Dacians, the Germans, the Syrians and the Thracians. Increase your forces tenfold as swiftly as possible before Rome sends its best legions to re-establish the Pax Romana. Only your genius and your knowledge of war can save you and allow you to found a kingdom of former slaves. But be careful, for Roman strategists are watchful, and are taking the new menace more and more seriously. You must conquer or perish … on the cross !

Tactical combat: Each clash is played out on a battlefield, simulated by a specific play aid. The leader uses his tactical value to limit the role of risk. The rebel forces are not known to the roman Player before the attack. Each player secretly chooses a tactic which will influence the course of combat. For example, a leader can place his best troops in the front line or hold them back for the last stages or try to surround his enemy on the flanks. In the case of a siege of a city, the besieger may attempts frontal assaults or harass the enemy lines. However, the besieged can also attempt bloody sorties or benefit from the protection of their walls.To limit risk, the best historical generals benefit from opportunities to influence fate. Nevertheless, the best player will always take the victory thanks to his mastery of the art of war.
