It seems that our dear would-be Emperor has some troubles with the alcohol. Legate Caecina commands the forces in Moguntiacum (modern-day Mainz in Germany), another 2 legions and additional Germanic mercenaries.Ī third, smaller force consisting of 1 legion is furthermore garrisoned in Argentoratum (modern-day Straßburg/Strasbourg in France). In Colonia Agrippina, modern-day Cologne in Germany, Aulus Vitellius and his legate Valens command a force of 4 legions and some Germanic mercenaries. The main body of my forces starts at the Rhine (called Rhenus in Roman times), on the border to the barbarian lands. I will play his faction during this AAR.īefore I discuss my opening turn, let's briefly get an overview over the political and strategical situation of my faction and my rivals in the Empire. In the Germanias, the two provinces at the border to the barbarian lands of Germania Magna (those two provinces were Germania Superior and Germania Inferior, meaning Upper and Lower Germany), a local general with the name Aulus Vitellius is proclaimed Emperor by his legions and loyal legates. But there are others trying to fill the void left by his murder. At the start of the game, the first of the 4 Emperors during this year, Galba, had just been assassinated by his own Praetorian guardsmen.
The general information about the 68 scenario. Who can triumph in these times of strife and unrest and restore the Empire to its glory? At the same time, Rome's neighbors, envious of Rome's wealth, are only waiting for a sign of weakness in the defenses of the Empire. In the year 68, the last legitimate successor of Rome's first Emperor, Augustus, had died, and the question of succession quickly turned into a full-scale war, as Emperors were assassinated by the own guards and pretenders arose in the remote areas of the Empire. # Let's usurp an Empire in Alea Jacta Est! #Īlea Jacta Est is AGEOD's latest game set in the turbulent times of the late Roman republic and the Roman Empire. However, the scenario is only 25 turns long, so it shouldn't take too long to complete this AAR. Since our PBEM campaign is still ongoing, I cannot say if I will be victorious in the end, if my faction will survive until the end or how fast I can provide updates. We play the Year of the 4 Emperors scenario, and all of the 3 available factions are played by human players experienced with AGEOD games. This is an AAR of our ongoing PBEM campaign of AGEOD's latest game Alea Jacta Est.
