NEW UPDATE, LP HAS BEEN RESTARTED





A mod that gives Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion some much needed depth and historical accuracy. Map has been expanded, the WRE is teetering on the brink of apocalyptic rape and hunnic subhuman hordes are rapidly approaching.

Vandals have landed in Africa and seized all but Carthage and the surrounding area, Franks are getting restless, Visigoths have occupied western Gaul, Spain is lost and the Burgundians are getting ready to invade Switzerland. In short, Western Civilization is fucked.

OR IS IT?

infanteraromanatardasig.jpg




The barbarian fucks and the horseniggers might outnumber and surround us, but not all is yet lost. New Legions will be raised, territories reclaimed and the Cro-mags sent back to their mud hovels and yurts. This ain't undomesticated snowman Scandinavia, THIS IS ROME.

A few notes about the mod:
Horde features have been refined, meaning new horde units and mechanics, less upkeep and much more.
A new economic system that gives Romans some financial advantage over the barbarians, whose economy is based more on agriculture than trade and industry.

However, if the barbarians occupy advanced Roman cities they can begin a transition from their manboon ways into the roman ones, that gives them a financial edge but limits some of their previous strength, such as cheaper mass units who are nevertheless pretty good. Romans, on the other hand, must spend a large amount of gold to maintain their proper legions and their cheap troops are only good for garisson duty, echoing the moral decline of the roman people in their last days. (but this will obviously change)

The eastern empire is less hit by the decline, so it has a definite advantage over their enemies and cannot be easily run to the ground. Sassanids are more or less the same.

And, without further ado, let's start.

mlva.jpg


The first few quiet years are spent raising two new legions in italy, the most advanced and important region, to protect against any invasions. Sicily is also very important, but it's location makes it as safe as a place can be. That is, if the Vandals don't break through Africa.


0dgp.jpg


Northern Gaul, with the Exception of Soissons, is an undeveloped place, not worth the manpower needed to pacify it. We shall allow it to secede.

5iyx.jpg


Switzerland is in a similar predicament. Better the rebels than the Burgundi.

o2f.jpg


Africa, on the other hand, is a license to print money. Carthage is an extremely important city, as big as Ravenna and Rome and must be held at all costs.

65de.jpg


Lastly, Dalmatia is the most threatened region. The horseniggers have spread like a plague across eastern europe, from the Volga to Potatoland and the gates of Germany. It will be our first line of defence against ITZ.

hyqz.jpg


Soon afterwards, the Burgundi cross the Danube and besiege Luvavum.

utlm.jpg


And seize Augusta Vindelicorum. The path into Italy is open.

osi6.jpg


But Legios I Incilinca and II Lyrica (not to be confused with Illyrica) Suita are ready to intercept them.

0lcz.jpg


But an even more dire situation is underway near Carthage. Horseniggers are approaching the metropolis en masse. Thankfully, the carthaginian training facilities are some of the best in the empire and the legion raised there is capable of dealing with them.

No matter the odds, no matter the cost, we must defeat the rape hordes and deny them entrance to our last stronghold in Africa. For if it falls, they will spill all over sicily and threaten italy itself.

NO MORE RAPE, NO MORE DECLINE.


stock-illustration-17509653-belisarius.jpg


GET THOSE NIGGERS

ni1j.jpg



ojw9.jpg



pfn8.jpg


The machete gangs approach in a confused mass, eager to reach the white wymminz behind the walls of Carthage.

l1i6.jpg


Their Cro-Mag cavalry, urged on by their inferior genes, gets dangerously close to the roman line.

w1ao.jpg


They foolishly enter arrow and javelin range.

af2d.jpg


Roman-cavalry.jpg


The horseniggers get more than they bargained for as the roman cavalry hits them head on and sends them fleeing back to their hovels.

5vhw.jpg


With a determined roar (based europa barborum VA) the infantry advances towards the enemy mass.

udr9.jpg


With the cream of their cavalry dead, the cromags begin to have second doubts.

1jgv.jpg


On the right wing, the cavalry positioned there is ordered to engage the enemy opposite them, then envelop the flanks of the enemy.

02u0.jpg


More horseniggers are caught with their dongs in the wind and pay the price.

x2w6.jpg



chhg.jpg


With a glorious shout, the cohorts charge the disorganised enemy line, ready to throw the subhumans out of northern africa.

h29o.jpg


It begins to dawn upon the cromags that this was a bad idea.

7996.jpg


The cavalry is now ready to envelop the enemy flanks.

o29y.jpg


But finds boss horsenigger on the way there and decides to lynch him first.

4nt8.jpg


Niggerbeater claims another.

cgke.jpg


The enemy front begins to collapse.

uvjn.jpg


Outmaneuvered and abandoned by their cavalry, the cromags stand no chance against roman steel.

g2gz.jpg


But a their reinforcements begin to approach from west and north, the romans know they must make all haste in cleaning the niggers out and then redeploy rapidly to meet the new arrivals.

iydh.jpg


CROMAGS DON'T WALK HERE, CROMAGS RUN

zpz1.jpg


Their nobles are still fighting, deserted by their entire army.

hu53.jpg


But a cavalry charge cures of them of that notion.



em6h.jpg




1xj.jpg


The entire legion is ordered to redeploy and combat the new threat.

xyxh.jpg


But, in typical manboon fashion, the Vandals decide to call it a day and start running for the hills.

zud7.jpg


The victory is hailed nothing short of glorious, as the romans bravely shattered the enemy in one charge. Africa is safe, for now.

p3ku.jpg


THe remnants of the enemy force flee to their fleet, which promptly blockades the port.

yujg.jpg


Our fleet is called in to send them to the bottom of the sea.

r2f9.jpg


What is this I don't even

v11v.jpg


Thanks to autoresolve, the counterattack to reclaim Africa is delayed by one turn until a new fleet is raised. We can't risk leaving an entire enemy army near undefended carthage.

51do.jpg


After a few years of growth, we are finally starting to make good money.

Think that is an outrageous amount?

g8xu.jpg


Check the upkeep cost on a typical cohort.



9tuu.jpg


Cromags can't swim.

x4h4.jpg


And the first offensive into Africa begins.

e608.jpg


While Huns begin to enroach upon our territory.


All in all, things could have been much worse but worry not, there is still time for them to escalate badly. Gaul and northern spain are vulnerable and the Huns are appearing at our borders.

At the very least we are making a decent (for invasio barborum) surplus every turn, so we'd have the ability to raise a couple more legions and upgrade training facilities in some areas.

Oh man, oh man... This is RIO's Vltra Gloriam Romae, right? I played only original Flagellum Dei and Iulian-dude-guy-emprror-the-game because my toaster can't handle VGR due to Roma SurRECTUM environements and lack of sprites.

Yep it is.




On to the LP

rp20.jpg


Horseniggers send more cromags to try and break the siege.

b7hu.jpg


These are the niggers I fear the most. They must be broken less the lesser cromags rally to them.

uxs6.jpg


We are gonna have no problems with the other army though.

uxt4.jpg


Cataphracts will take care of the manboons.

6qj6.jpg


i8uv.jpg


76n.jpg


Like Cleve in the LA Riots.

8tx4.jpg


Rape victims, mostly.

3xnk.jpg


Yeah, no.

cpsx.jpg


Incline is so strong the manboons start to fly.

3o7c.jpg


The main army arrives and a unit of swordsmen is dangerously out of formation. Cataphracts get to work.

q33s.jpg


The manboon is not a learning animal.

ocjy.jpg


50 of them died in one charge. :incline:

47cb.jpg


Dragons are ordered back as enemy spearmen approach.

1c9f.jpg


Yes, dump saps, yes, chase the cavalry.

s5vh.jpg


The infantry arrives and the enemy horde is spread all over.

d49g.jpg


The cohorts decide not to use their javelins but charge straight away at the enemy. Dragons hit them in the rear.

1ri9.jpg


Another Cromag fertilizing the earth.

abpt.jpg


Raped hard.

Then the game crashed so I decided to autoresolve it. Higher losses were had, but I couldn't bother to play it again.

7tkb.jpg


The first of our african cities is liberated from cromag rule. No more rape hordes shall touch this place.

duzq.jpg


After seizing two of our cities, the Burgundii decide to call it a year and ask for peace. With all these fronts open, we decide to accept.

But we will return and the spearchuckerzz shall pay.

pxuj.jpg


And Huns at the gates of the Danube. We will raise a 4th Legion to deal with this front.

30zd.jpg


After retraining our autoresolve-depleted african legion, the campaign continues.

o13g.jpg


More horsenigger armies appear in Yurop. We shall try to hold them here for the time being, before the inevitable endless hordes arrive to machete rape everything.

0ybs.jpg


Another month, another vandal city invested.

82y9.jpg


:x Horseniggers will suffer.

hrlp.jpg


And the Vandals pull more stacks out of their ass. I swear, barbarians in this mod.

dayx.jpg


And the IV Legion Hivera is raised in modern-day southern croatia and ordered north, to deal with the Huns. Their rage shall serve them well.

0n3z.jpg


And a look at the world. The roman east stands strong but the Sassanids are expanding into the Caucasus.

Berbers and Visigoths are spilling over into Spain and Britain is a clusterfuck.

But the main issue is the huge black blob that is the Hun empire.

90ta.jpg


The recently appeared Bulgar horde might prove to be a thorn in their side though. Shame they are besieging rebel territory instead.


If we manage to reconquer Africa, we will have a bulwark from which we can safely expand and defend against any hunnic incursions.

The Empire Lives Yet.

Poor Vand... I mean REMOVE THEM! Preferably with a Cataphract lances because they look awfully long (so it will be easier to avoid contact with Manboons during removal procedure).

Could you give us more detailed overview of your legions with their strenght and weaknesses?

OK, trouble. Hunrape campaign is still in beta, so it crashes. And a critical crash has occured, so it will either have to be restarted or the more stable, later campaign played, in which the huns are beaten, rome has lost africa and gaul and is left only with mainland italy which is being invaded by the Vandals.

So.

Campaign will be restarted and legion update will come next.

One minor mistake:

Vandals are not niggers, they are liberals

Here we go again.

Difficulty is VH/H

v5v6.jpg


After a few turns of developing our wealthy italian cities (which are p. much our only cities) we are able to put together a strong legion, compromised of Cataphracts, Comitatenses and Imperial Palatina to reclaim Corsica and Sardinia from the snowmens.

ftfx.jpg


Aleria is invested. So far so good.

A couple of turns later and nothing happens, so we decide to storm the battlements. The city falls easily.
ujch.jpg


Then, at the nick of time, undomesticated snowmens crowd the hills in their thousands.

sl4p.jpg


ebht.jpg


And their armies mean business. Gothic Spearmen, Germanic Nobles, Alan heavy cavalry and armored swordsmen.

This will be bloody.

And cromag aggression starts right off.

WF03Celt_Cav.jpg


7x2.jpg


Their heavy cavalry smashes into the 5th Cohort, causing them heavy losses, but the line holds.

rqdb.jpg


Then the Cataphracts flank snowmen Lancers and send them packing.

eoy7.jpg


The horde begins to approach.

b0ot.jpg


The Palatina are ordered to reinforce the right flank that has been shaken by the cavalry charge.

2b8t.jpg


But the Vandals throw most of their weight towards the center.

qfhc.jpg


esg0.jpg


The right flank wheels back, exposing the enemy rear to the cataphracts, who promptly charge the hell out of it.

knxm.jpg


Cromags do what they do best: rout.

idj1.jpg


Similar events play out in the left flank, where the cavalry routs the Alan Horseniggers opposite them then intervene in the infantry battle.

4ptz.jpg


The nobles and a couple hundred spearmen are the last still standing.

7fji.jpg


The Infantry marches double quick and protects the cataphracts' exposed rear from the spearchuckerzz.

k3sw.jpg


And with that, the nobles break.

zoya.jpg


We have just enough time to redeploy in the face of the Vandal reinforcements.

a8j4.jpg


The cavalry charges the enemy spearwall head on...

6hg.jpg


And slaughters them in one go.

1ycr.jpg


With that, the enemy reinforcing force turns on their heels and starts withdrawing. The cavalry purses.

f0zb.jpg


The elite vandal army was slaughtered to a man but most of the reinforcements managed to slip away.

The infantry battle cost us a lot of casualties and we will be unable to continue into Sardinia unless we resupply first.

2hrz.jpg


A few turns afterwards, we are ready to continue into Sardinia, where the Vandals have raised new forces.

j11h.jpg


Their field army abandons them and the city is now under siege.

l9nv.jpg


We have secured enough funds to raise a new army in sicily and to begin reclaiming the island.

d872.jpg


Back in Sardinia, a new relief force appears and tries to dislodge us.

18l6.jpg


Long story short, 3 units of comitatenses managed to kill their general in the general melee then pursue the rest all the way to the back of their lines.

3l2w.jpg


The beginnings of a general rout.

iw90.jpg


This is what happens when your general is in a unit of peasants. 4 Units of Gothic Spearmen and Armored Swordsmen routed after their general was killed and the cavalry simply ran them all down.

zsn7.jpg


The bastions of Syracuse are stormed and the army continues on to Lilybaeum. We are also out of debt now, so things should run smoother.

ojjn.jpg


The Legion carries the walls after two years of sieging them.

wgqh.jpg


With Sicily now reclaimed and printing money for us, we have the funds to raise a fleet and carry our force to Africa.

bp8y.jpg


The front in Sardinia has been quiet for quite some time, so the expedition into Africa begins.

r2bk.jpg


:kfc:
Nignogs will know roman rule again.

xstc.jpg


Turris surrenders without a fight and the legion continues on to Caralis to complete the reconquest of Sardinia.

477j.jpg


And a few of the world at 470 AD. Also notice the two full vandal stacks that arrived to save Carthage at the very bottom.

The reconquest is going well, but our northern frontier is basically unmanned and the Vandals are able to keep pulling entire armies out of their ass.

But with Sicily ours again and Sardinia soon reclaimed we will be able to reinforce Africa with another Legion and maybe even raise some defence forces in Cisalpine Gaul.

And now for the legion update.

vxef.jpg


These guys are basically garisson forces. They suck ass at everything but keeping public order.

zx5l.jpg


Our archers are quite good, considering. Very useful against horse archers.

v0tz.jpg


The Foderati are split into the following categories:

Foderati Warband are basically cromags in service to rome. Cannon Fodder but not as bad as the Cohortis Vigilum.
Foderati Spearmen/Swordsmen are line troops that are inferior to Comitatenses, but cheaper and quite effective.
Foderati Cavalry are light cavalry.
Foderati Nobles are pretty expensive and effective heavy cavalry.

k8en.jpg


Crossbowmen.

b64e.jpg


Mercenary horse archers.

v228.jpg


A lesser version of the Comitatenses, the Pseudocomitatenses are nevertheless effective troops that can be raised from smaller towns as well.

lqgx.jpg


The main bros.

sy5d.jpg


Our best spear unit, which isn't much, but is able to defend well against cavalry.

khed.jpg


A specialised unit of Comitatenses that is mostly used as storm troops. Very good at sieges.

hlub.jpg


Poor man's Cataphracts.

8lri.jpg


My cavalry of choice.

k682.jpg


These dudes are just overkill. I dislike using them because they are slow and pretty much impossible to kill.

Rape
443 AD: TAKING BACK THE CLAY

legionaries-of-Roman-army.jpg


tns5.jpg


We abandon the siege lines to engage the faggots.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX6lBzZSCKs&t=2m20s
36dp.jpg


The snowmens occupy defensive position on the hill and will be difficult to dislodge. But roman courage and valour will prevail over the rape hordes once again.

yq7u.jpg


Our missile cavalry begins to harry their spearmen. Many a manboon go down, the spearchuckerzz having a taste of their own medicine.

9d3d.jpg


While their flank is pre occupied, the main body of our army marches up the hill. The snowmens take the bait.

g16h.jpg


Lured into a frontal attack by their defective genes, the roman line braces for impact.

3wx1.jpg


The barbarian zerg takes advantage of their superior numbers and envelops one flank. Cavalry and reserve cohorts are sent in to support.

The brave roman patriots stand their ground against the overwhelming press of the snowmens, proving once again that the stinking hordes might breed like vermin but are still vastly inferior to the sons of the empire. :salute:

61p3.jpg


Their centre gives way before the legion before it breaks completely, the manboons throwing pride in the wind and running for their lives.

skbi.jpg


The cavalry arrives just in time to ensure the complete rout of their right and center formations and chase the survivors.

3gth.jpg


While on the left flank the fight rages on.

ilwd.jpg


But it is not to last, as a brave cohort rallies and charges the enemy in the rear. The manboons panic.

1kep.jpg


Once again it is only their nobility that still stands, the few who have traces of Neanderthal ancestry in the mass of sap genes.

But they are surrounded and slaughtered to a man.

javx.jpg


Then, on the horizon, dust begins to rise as another horde of snowmens arrives.

dyur.jpg


Depleted, tired and bloodied, the cohorts prepare for another stand.

fab0.jpg


More and more arrive as the odds begin to look grim.

19z.jpg


The cavalry however, has managed to spot their warlord and is making all haste to purge him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX6lBzZSCKs&t=4m30s



eo65.jpg


The lines clash as roman and undomesticated snowman fight for the future of Carthage.

0y7f.jpg


A cavalry fight ensues.

td6y.jpg


The horseniggers are unable to resist the cataphracts and are slaughtered wholesale while their formation crumbles.

o7wv.jpg


The infantry fight seems to be going the enemy's way as their mob begins to outflank the legion.

yb6i.jpg


u1s7.jpg


But in a glorious charge the entire enemy center breaks and routs, fleeing like mad in all directions.

dct5.jpg


The legions give chase themselves, grabbing the faggots and slaughtering them like the subhumans they are.

0yhj.jpg


The filed is littered with the enemy dead, so shamefully slain while they fled.

g8lq.jpg


The victory is nothing short of a glorious triumph. 7 snowmens killed for each roman.

0400.jpg


Carthage is finally liberated, the last outpost of roman citizenry in Africa. The rest of the cities will be purged of all snowmens, less they corrupt the genepool of any future recruits.

jr6p.jpg


A year later, they try to sneak in a relief force in Sardinia.

vr8f.jpg


But are sent to the bottom of the sea instead. :lol:

kkv.jpg


Caralis is stormed and taken. Now we control all of Sardinia and this front is finally closed.

oaf8.jpg


More snowmens appear and try to retake Carthage.

qnnh.jpg


Due to a misclick, I manage to score the only heroic victory autoresolve has ever given me. Not bad.

qwhe.jpg


A short while afterwards, we transfer our other legion from Sardinia to africa, to take care of the cities in the south.

d2wf.jpg


Back in Gaul, the Goths appear with a small force and besiege Arelate.

bw7x.jpg


Having previously recruited a defensive force in northern italy, we are forced to move it out of it's position to relieve the city, leaving homeground undefended.

32h3.jpg


Back in Africa, Hadrumetum is invested.


p97p.jpg


The goths ask for peace the moment they spot the relief army. It is accepted and the relief force stationed in Arelate for the time being.

5o2t.jpg


Meanwhile, Hippo Regius is taken and promptly purged, the first of the snowmens populations removed from Africa.

viwb.jpg


Hadrumetum suffers a similar fate.

4cgs.jpg


And the campaign continues on.

lb3v.jpg


Somehow, from somewhere, the Vandals bring another army against us.

9zqi.jpg


We sally out to meet them.

9suz.jpg



ede3.jpg


The cataphracts take care of the enemy horse first before moving on to their infantry.

qga3.jpg


This has to be the 20th Alan Noble Horsenigger unit we have faced so far. Fucking barbarian upkeep.

98xr.jpg


The infantry charges the horde.

zl7j.jpg


Just another day at the zoo.

lg0y.jpg


And Silifis is purged. With it our foothold in Africa has expanded dramatically and another rich source of income has been acquired. A new legion will soon be funded in northern italy and after the reconquest of africa is completed, it will be joined by another and then push on into Gaul.

Elsewhere in Yurop:

40cw.jpg



The Visigoths and the Suebi are fighting for the ownership of Spain.

vaeq.jpg


The goths seem to have the upper hand, but the Suebi are far from finished.

v6c8.jpg


The Saxons are completing their conquest of England.

us48.jpg


k7nc.jpg


While the Franks and the Soissons are preparing for war.

tuo1.jpg


so7x.jpg


Lastly, the Sassanids and the Byzantines, both large, rich empires, are grinding over in the east. The war is likely to drag on for a long time.

ITZ COMING TO ITALY
franks.jpg

1ozj.jpg


The campaign season continues as the very inroads into Libya are made. Once a rich and prosperous province, it has been now brought low by snowmens and sandniggers.



kikz.jpg



The city is stormed as soon as possible and the subhumans put to the sword.


fjjy.jpg



The 1st legion, after having resupplied back at Carthage, returns to the front to find their hard-won gains in peril.


gpdo.jpg


While back in Europe, the city that guards the passage through the Alps is layed siege by a large army of Franks. Unless we halt our construction programs, we will not have he funds to sustain a new legion in North Italy. More sources of income need to be secured.




dkch.jpg


Our new conquests lie exposed once again as a horde of sandniggers appears out of the desert and raises the machete against us.


t8x1.jpg



And the rape gangs seize Augusta Vindelicorum. : x


We shall avenge the brave patriots who gave their lives in it's doomed defence.


h5fn.jpg



The second legion pushes the sandniggers out of Oea but is too tired to pursue them and engage them.


v0wj.jpg



Our bros in northern gaul pledge their support in our conflict against the Franks. They will not be forgotten.


o71j.jpg



As the reconquest of Vandal Africa rages on, the Caesar has acquired a taste for wholescale undomesticated snowmen removal. :incline:


3s53.jpg



The sandnigger stronghold in Libya is now besieged. No more machete gangs will spawn out of it now.


jhme.jpg



The 1st legion carries the walls once again and bring incline to the world by cleaning the genepool a bit more.


l07t.jpg



In a ritual that will be repeated several times in the future, armies of sandniggers appear out of the deserts to the south and siege our overstreched holdings.


ay9w.jpg



But Roman arms are implacable. We will wipe their race from this earth.


wb96.jpg



Back in Italy, the fortress city of Mediolanum is besieged by a Frank army. Thankfully, we have managed to raise a legion there just in time.


We sally out and attack.

ut8l.jpg


3bg0.jpg



The battle begins as our cavalry charges the enemy vandal mercenaries and routs them from the field.

0iz2.jpg


They are soon pulled back less they be encircled.

mxss.jpg


The infantry soon follows suit and the great clash ensues.

mm66.jpg


Both sides suffer grevious losses but the franks have the upper hand as their infantry is more numerous and has started to outflank the legions.

ejnb.jpg


The center gives way as the pressure from the hordes is too much, even for the brave cohorts.

uh6f.jpg


But the cavalry charges to save the day.

4xbf.jpg


wq05.jpg


The franks are soon surrounded and slaughtered, with only a few managing to flee.

tz0w.jpg


The most bloody battle the empire has seen yet.

rmse.jpg


But the enemy are slaughtered utterly. Italy is safe for now.

8ljh.jpg


d0hb.jpg


This cannot be tolerated anymore.

l61v.jpg


All the contruction projects are cancelled and a new legion is raised and boards ships to africa.

7dtz.jpg


The 1st legion managed to dislodge the Berbers and now chases them into the desert.

g4p8.jpg


And our western most city is lost.

0q2d.jpg


But the new legion arrives just in time to see it's reclamation through.

qbdy.jpg


While our other two legions begin their strike at the heart of our foe.

nx58.jpg


Both cities are soon taken.

n1i8.jpg


Italy shall know ITZ unless we stop the hordes here. We don't have the money for a second legion right now.

f7tk.jpg


Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world.

The Byzantines are being gangraped by all their neighbours.

maum.jpg


The Goths seem to have the upper hand in Iberia, but the Suebi are beginning their counteroffensive. This stalemate favors us. Africa is as good as won. Spain will be our next focus.

e4v2.jpg


9lo3.jpg


Or maybe not. The rape squads are preparing more forces to pour through the Alps.

fqft.jpg


And the Ostrogoths are marshalling forces for a new campaign.

We must wrap up the campaign in Africa as soon as possible and redeploy to italy. The alpine passages need to be seized and campaigns into germany and dalmatia prepared.

Rape
WARLAVARUM 5K: GRIM DARKNESS OF THE ALTERNATE PAST



Times are grim.

q482.jpg


The Empire is a rotting corpse. Dysgenics, rape and darkness is all that seems to be left for Europe. Barbarians have flooded into the west, laying many of the cities there to waste.

Sack_of_King's_Landing.jpg


Franks, Goths, pretenders to the imperial throne, the west has become a free for all as armies fight each other, destroying whatever little of past achievements remained of the initial onslaught.

The Suebi germans clash with the Goths, who war with the roman pretender based at Soissons, who allied himself to the king of the Franks who is now at war with the Burgundii tribes. Saxons, Celts and roman remnants fight over britain and vandals spread across north africa and threaten italy itself.

r


The east fares even worse. Torn asunder by rebellion and inner strife, many of the eastern provinces seceded, only to fall to the Sassanid hordes. The Danubian front fared litle better, becoming fodder for the Ostrogoths, who rule the balkans with an iron fist.

London-on-fire.jpg


East and West are both waste.

What little of the eastern roman army remains must soon fight one last time, even when all hope is lost and death & rape is imminent.

For in the grim darkness of the alternate past there is only war and endless waves of machete regiments.

The last surviving legion is all that stands between Constantinople and the approaching horde.

le66.jpg


Should the bros fail this day, everything collapses.

fj15.jpg


The persian horde approaches. Most of their infantry is no danger. Their cataphracts and heavily armored persian fanatics are a different matter altogether.


cll5.jpg



The cohorts brace.


2hkq.jpg


Until suddenly battle is joined in the flanks against the cavalry. Dalmatian auxilaries and tribesmen from northern iran fights on a hill in thrace.

zamc.jpg


The cohorts charge the spear levies opposite them and push them back into the forest, throwing their lines in disorder.

58ro.jpg


But the left flank is slowly collapsing as the cataphracts and the elite persian infantry force a breach.

gz9g.jpg


With a lot of the levies fleeing, the cohorts will march to plug the hole and push the enemy back.

xf6k.jpg


The rest of the levies break as well and only the elite regiments now remain.

They are soon surrounded and routed.


opjb.jpg


:salute: The Empire lives yet.

More hordes appear at the Straits in increasing numbers.


xr0s.jpg


A new legion is being raised in Macedonia but it will take a year until they are ready. The capital has to fend for itself.

vvg0.jpg


The siege has begun.

rrfv.jpg


And Ephesus is most likely doomed. Only a miracle can save the hopelessly outnumbered garrison there.


THE BATTLE AT CONSTANTINOPLE

36im.jpg


The army sallies out to attack the persians, who quickly form up.

7m0l.jpg


Their cavalry charges the advancing cohorts but they are repulsed and the legionaires march on, fired upon by archers the whole way.

9mx1.jpg


Even though the persian center looks the strongest, most of the troops there are spear armed levies who cannot withstand fighting for long. Only a couple of cohorts are needed to tie up entire hordes of them, freeing up more to envelop the heavier infantry on the flanks.

x1fw.jpg


The cavalry, massed in a big group, breaks through the persian cataphracts and falls upon the already demoralised levies.

Their rout is absolute.

6ulk.jpg


The enemy, including their elite troops, are surrounded and cut off from escape. Cataphracts and mail-skirted Zoroastrian fanatics now fertilise the fields around the capital.

wz3k.jpg


Some levies escaped, but the large elite contigents were wiped out completely.

The Empire lives yet.




g881.jpg




The bell chimes for Ephesus and it's defenders.

000056_xgaplus.jpg


The outnumbered defenders are soon forced to make a fighting retreat from the walls as the hordes surge in.

4xvl.jpg


There is no end to the persians as they flood the streets, more of them breaking through the city gates every second.

xmyl.jpg


The doomed patriots of the 11th legion fucking Rokai are blocking the entry routes into the city centre, ready to make a last stand.

zjx8.jpg


With many of the Persians spreading to loot and machete rape, the attacks are disorganised at first and beaten back.

tgcy.jpg


But a bigger horde is seen approaching the Triumph Arch. The cohorts brace.

arul.jpg


The elite heavy cavalry of the persians, carrying their imperial stndards, charges at the head of a great infantry mass and their weight pushes the cohort back.


c13b.jpg


The formation is broken and the enemy infantry is now upon them. Defeat is imminent.

The ancient city of Ephesus will be sacked and ruined and the brave defenders slaughtered and forgotten as the empire loses its last foothold in asia.


Until

9f1l.jpg


Rather than succumb to machete rape, the men of the 11th keep fighting, dragging the persians from the saddle and butchering them, wasting their general in this manner. The line holds.

sozg.jpg


The elite assault regiments enter the fray. The line holds.

j94a.jpg


More persians arrive in their endless masses and missile support becomes scarcer as arrows run out. The line holds.

y5d5.jpg


The streets are chocked in persian and roman corpses by this point, an entire cohort has been reduced to a single shell-shocked, raving survivor and more persians advance.

But the line holds.

5l42.jpg


A single regiment of levies manages to come behind the archers and attacks them head on. The line holds still.

2p83.jpg


The other archer cohorts turn around and fire a single volley at the unprotected left side of the persians. Their line doesn't hold.


yib7.jpg


The line holds and the Empire lives yet. :salute:



pzcm.jpg


Embarking on the fleet, the legion at Constantinople mounts a surprise attack and beats back the remaining Sassanid army, throwing them away from the Strait.

00r3.jpg


The new macedonian legion is raised and is now within sight of Prusa.

The city is stormed.


et3n.jpg


And liberated.


q28n.jpg


But these victories might mean nothing in the long run. The legions of the persians are endless and more keep arriving every year, dragged from every corner of their empire. Arabia and the Caucasus fell as well, catapult shells in the night falling even upon the streets of Tbilisi.

0utq.jpg


The west is fighting for Sardinia and it is losing. Their last forces are depleted and overstretched while the Vandals have more resources to call upon.

69ci.jpg


The Franks have sacked Soissons and destroyed the last roman presence in Gaul. The north is now snowniggers and lost for the forseeable future.

oiu5.jpg


And as for Britain, saxon and picts fight over the ruins, the outnumbered romano-british fleeing to Brittany.
