{BATTLE_TUTORIAL_TITLE}Battle Tutorial

{BATTLE_TUTORIAL_DESCR}You are the new leader (pater familias) of a young and upcoming noble (Patrician) family.\n\n

You have been given a military command by the Western Roman Empire and must help secure a strong and lasting Empire.\n\n

Your first objective is to repel a Frankish attack on the borders of the Empire.\n

Marcus, an old and trusted centurion, has agreed to guide you through your first battle.\n

As your tutor will have told you, it is up to you to "seize the day" (carpe diem).



{BADON_HILL_TITLE}The Battle of Badon Hill

{BADON_HILL_DESCR}OBJECTIVES: Keep both your general and the allied general alive. Destroy or rout the enemy.\n\n

Although we have no proof of King Arthur's existence his legend is enduring. The following battle is a recreation of a possible battle between a Romano-British warlord called Artorius and the Saxons.\n\n

Artorius Castus (Arthur), the leader of the Britons, is at war with the Saxon invaders of his land. If he fails, then the pagan Saxons will plunge the people of Britannia into a new dark age of cruelty and slaughter.\n\n

Artorius' ally, Lord Amalric, has chosen to make a stand against the Saxon mob on Badon Hill. Now he is surrounded by warriors baying for his blood. If he goes down, Artorius will have lost a friend, and may also have lost his kingdom.\n\n

With covering fire from nearby onagers, you should order Artorius' troops to ford or swim the river and then fight their way through the gathering darkness. Only speed and the courage of your men can save Amalric, rally the people of Britannia, and secure Artorius' throne!

{CHALONS_TITLE}The Battle of Chalons

{CHALONS_DESCR}The fate of a once mighty Western Roman Empire hangs in the balance.\n\n 

For years, Attila the Hun, supreme commander of a terrifying nomadic horde, the man known as the 'Scourge of God', has plagued the continent of Europe.\n\n 

City after city has been sacked, tribe after tribe destroyed as Attila's peerless horse warriors have relentlessly crushed any foolish enough to stand against them. Even the still-powerful Eastern Roman Empire quails before the relentless Hunnic horde, paying huge sums in tribute for the Hun to just stay away.\n\n

The Romans of the Western Empire have looked on with growing horror as the Hun, with their scarred devilish faces, thrust down through Roman-occupied Gaul. Burning, looting and pillaging as they draw ever closer to the unprotected, rich cities and soft, fertile farmlands of central Italy.\n\n

The Roman general, Flavius Aetius, has raised an army to oppose them. Having also persuaded his erstwhile enemy Theoderic, King of the Visigoths, to join him in repelling the invaders, Aetius marches to relieve the besieged city of Orleans, offering battle at nearby Chalons.\n\n

Attila and his host of Huns must crush the Roman force which stands between him and his destiny as master of an entire continent.
