Ancient Rome is a multiplayer modification for Half-Life 2. Everything is happening at the time of Julius Caesar's conquest 58BC - 44BC.
Exactly in Gaul (modern France), so it is a conflict against Late Roman Republic and Gallic tribes. Maps in our modifications are the real battles. We wonder also make own maps
for example, the gauls siege of the roman fort etc. Each side will be truly armed, everything will be based on all sources of information such as Ancient Warfare magazine and others.
The same apply to all units.
All the time we think of the name of the modification.
I encourage you to register on our forum and take part in the discussion.
The first release of the modification will include Late Roman Republic against the Gallic tribes.

- The time period featured in the game will focus on the conquests of Gaius Julius caesar as stated in the previous releases.
- In the first release we will include various battles between the Late Roman Republic against Gallic tribes (in some battles various other barbarian tribes will take the place of Gauls ).
- However, in the second release we will include West Germanic tribes and in the third release we will include the Briton tribes (Northern England). In subsequent releases, we might be able to deliver: Kingdom of Pontus (Battle of Zela 48 BC), Numidia, Civil wars, Aegyptus and (War of Alexandria).
In this update, we have two new screens to show you:

The Pugio was used during the late republic. That sheaths were made of metal and the hilt of the dagger was be the same color as the blade and leather inside. It's characterized by the very small detail. The Dagger will be used by Caesar's legionary, centurion, and probably standard bearer. (Vexillarius, Aquilifer and Signifer).

It was a tent for eight roman legionaries (contuberninum). Also, the tent was dismantled after each summer march and rebuilt whenever the legions camped.
Thats it for this month guys, stay tuned for updates in the near future.
