“Terrible news is heard in Rome! There is, in the most remote part of Iberia, a people that is not governed nor let itself be governed. Alea jacta est.
 
The Empire’s great army has lost another battle in Lusitania. On his comfortable throne, the Emperor Julius Caesar hears the news and becomes furious. He immediately calls his four best generals to the palace.
 
The words and orders are clear: they must immediately start a long journey throughout the Empire’s provinces so as to find the most fearless warriors and form a great army. It is necessary to recruit and equip all types of soldiers: legionaries, doctors, gunners and if necessary, barbaric mercenaries as well.
 
Soon, a glorious army will march into Lusitania, where a small population resists heroically. Julius Caesar know that victory will not be easy, so he does not skimp on resources and he promises fame and a good amount of silver coins (denarii) to those who join the cause. Be the first general to create an army worth twenty victory points or more and become the Emperor’s favourite.”
