News - Rome Rise of an Empire mod for Mount & Blade: Warband

In southern Europe a new power is stirring, having brought all of Italy under its heel the Wolf of Rome now turns its attention to across the seas, but were will its gaze fall upon first? The strong Carthaginian Empire, with its mighty navy and proud Phoenician legacy, or perhaps on the city states of Greece, the birthplace of invention, philosophy and culture, or will the wolf take on the vast and wild lands beyond the Alps, inhabited by large, fierce and fair skinned warriors. Or could history be altered? Will Hannibal finally smash down the gates of Rome, could the warring states of Greece unite against a greater foe, or will the barbarian hordes pour over the alps in a great wave destroying all in their path. In this fragile time for the republic and nothing is certain, with the Illyrian pirates picking at its heels and the threat of rebellion ever present the future of Rome and indeed the ancient world is far from certain.
