While I personally enjoyed the regional dynamic of Caesar in Gaul and Hannibal at the Gates, I missed playing on the grand campaign map. I think this is a great way to use the grand campaign map while creating a new dynamic. Overall, the Imperator Augustus Campaign for Rome 2 is looking to be a pretty exciting new campaign. Armenia and Parthia are at each other’s door, so it would be up to them to cooperate or battle it out for control of the east, before moving west into the Mediterranean. Marcomanni and Dacia will probably be look to confederate with their neighbors before pressing into Roman territory. As a side note: I think Mark Antony and Egypt would make for a good co-op campaign. That situation could easily turn into a two front war, which would give Egypt a decision as to whether they focus their armies west towards Lepidus or east to Parthia. Mark Antony and Egypt will most likely be allied, but he will have to contend with Octavian and Dacia, as well as potential encroachment by Armenia or Parthia from the east. The Pompey campaign will most likely involve him using his navy to delay an invasion while allowing him free reign to strike at any of the other Roman faction’s coastal territories. Pompey is surrounded, but more than likely will have a powerful starting navy while his neighbors have little to none. Lepidus would have to contend with local Iberian and African factions, while attempting to join the two parts of his territories together. Octavian would have to keep control of the north against barbarian incursions, while dealing with the other Roman factions. I could see the Iceni probing and pushing Gaul, which would mostly consist of client states to Octavian’s faction.

These monolithic formations are supported by the Roman cavalry, or equites. The Iberians are glass cannons as far as their unit roster goes. So for example, Lepidus might have Iberian swordsmen and Libyan infantry, while Octavian might have access to barbarian infantry, and Mark Antony able to recruit perhaps a mix of barbarian and Greek units. The oldest and most experienced warriors the bronze-armoured triarii hold the rear. My thoughts are that each Roman faction will feature legionaries as the backbone of the army, but also include regional units as auxiliaries. The four major Roman factions appear to be: The (Potential) Playable Factions of Imperator Augustus It features the original grand campaign map for Rome 2, but with different playable factions and starting positions. This update adds five additional factions to the list, because a list of ten leaves out several factions that need to be included.The Imperator Augustus Campaign Map has been released. Other factions have to deal with stronger factions from the start (like one of the Roman factions) but have strong units early on that allow them to halt the advance of Rome's legions or Egypt's chariots. Many factions are not that strong in the early part of a game, but have a remote starting position that gives them time to build a strong empire and army. Starting position in this game is important.
