Description
Caesar in Gaul is a standalone campaign pack for Total War: ROME II covering
Julius Caesar's war of expansion against the Gaulish tribes. Players can
choose from four playable factions in this conflict: the Gallic Arverni, the
Germanic Suebi, the Belgic Nervii and Rome, in a campaign inspired by Caesar's
Commentarii de bello Gallico Commentaries on the Gallic war
Offering a tighter scope in terms of time and geography than Rome II (58-51BC
the Caesar in Gaul Campaign Map is an expanded, more detailed vision of Gaul
and the south coast of Britannia
Compared with ROME II's map of Gaul, Caesar in Gaul contains more regions and
provinces, more factions (both playable and non-playable), and a series of
famous generals and statesmen from history which the player will employ or
fight against depending on their chosen faction
A war of great profit and glory for Caesar, this conflict made him extremely
popular with the people of Rome though less so with the senators, who saw him
gathering power to himself in a series of events that ultimately lead to his
ascension to Dictator
Caesar in Gaul differs from the core ROME II experience in a number of
:important ways
:New Campaign Map
The Caesar in Gaul campaign map is an enhanced, more detailed representation
of Gaul, with players able to expand across 18 provinces dotted with resources
new settlements and new provincial capitals
Greater focus on characters
Many factions employ great generals and statesmen from history (for example
Rome fields Gaius Julius Caesar himself, Mark Anthony and others). Each of the
four playable factions also has a faction leader who acts as the player's
avatar during the campaign
:24 turns per year
As Caesar in Gaul deals with a considerably shorter time-span (58-51BC) than
the grand sweep of the ROME II campaign, each turn represents two weeks rather
than a year. This means seasons make a return. The gameplay effects of these
aren't always predictable however, and may vary from province to province. A
late autumn may bring a good harvest for example, but a long, dry summer may
damage your food production
:Compact, focussed multiplayer campaign
For those generals looking for a more rapid MP campaign game, Caesar in Gaul
presents a series of interesting options. Due to the geographic scope and the
opposing 48 factions, co-op or competitive 2-player campaigns are tighter
more focussed, and less time-consuming than a full Campaign
:New mid-game challenge mechanics
For those players making it through to the mid-game, there will be new
challenges to face as a more suitable replacement for the Civil Wars of ROME
II. As a Gallic tribe, you ll feel the mailed fist of Rome respond with heavy
intervention forces, and as Rome, you ll see the Gallic tribes rebelling and
forming alliances against you
:New historical battle
Caesar in Gaul adds the Battle of Alesia as a playable historical battle
Alesia marked the turning point of Caesar s Gallic War, and resulted in the
capture of Vercingetorix, who was later taken to Rome and executed at Caesar's
Triumph
Set from Caesar's perspective, Alesia tasks the player with maintaining the
siege of Vercingetorix's Gallic stronghold. The battle begins with the Roman
forces deployed within their own investment fortifications outside the hill-fort
The player must guide the Romans as they weather attacks from both a huge
relief army and within the fort itself
:New Total War: ROME II full campaign playable factions
Alongside the factions playable within the new Campaign, Caesar in Gaul also
adds three new playable factions to the main game; they are
Nervii (barbarian, Belgic
The most fierce and powerful of the Belgic tribes, the Nervii are a melting
pot of Celtic and Germanic heritage. Their unit roster reflects this mix of
cultures, opening up the possibility of creating new, unique army compositions
Boii (barbarian, Gallic
One of the largest of the Gallic tribes, the Boii occupied Cisalpine-Gaul
Pannonia, Bohemia and Transalpine Gaul. Their numbers make them a force to be
reckoned with but they are somewhat disconnected from other the Gallic tribes
geographically and are directly exposed to the ferocious Germanic clans and
the Dacians
Galatians barbarian, Anatolia
The Gauls of the East, the Galatians migrated to Asia Minor following the
Celtic invasion of the Balkans. They arrived through Thracia at around 270 BC
led by generals Lotarios & Leonnorios. As Celts deep within Hellenic territory
and factions hostile towards them, the Galatians offer interesting and
challenging new gameplay
:New units

(and playable factions in the main ROME II campaign provided by Caesar in Gaul
ownership also gain the following new units
