Story

Governor, your final mission in this Imperial Assessment is a real mission for the glory and wealth of Rome. The Roman Legions have won many conquests in the Germanic regions, and buried beneath a Governors Palace in the forests of deepest darkest Dacia lie the spoils of victory- a massive trove of gold, treasure, cash and huge stores of food. Several Roman legions under the command of a caretaker military lieutenant guard the region but word of its whereabouts has reached our enemies, and we must immediately bolster the defense of the location.

The full force of the Roman army has been ordered to the area to supervise relocation of the loot to Rome, but until such time as they arrive, you must defend Rome’s property and citizens against any and all threats. These relief legions will require a goodly supply of weapons when they arrive.

All defensive structures that Rome possesses are available to you. Money is no object in this mission, as the losses if you fail are far greater than even you could possibly spend.

Designer's Notes

This mission has a duration of 24 months. Many invasions are scheduled for the second year. There are no imperial requests. Easy difficulty gets smaller invasions and faster immigration. Numbers of soldiers will be as reported by the Military Advisor.

All please note that CBC rules stipulate that forts may hold no more than 16 soldiers. Forts, rather than individual soldiers, are either academy trained or not academy trained. If a fort is indicated as academy trained all its soldiers are regarded as academy trained.

This mission is not intended to replicate the battle that took place at Sarmizegetusa in 105AD.

The Battle of Sarmizegetusa is a Caesar III contest map. It was designed by goonsquad and was tested by Joshofet. In this series of contests the beta tester/s will be permitted to enter at Hard difficulty.

This contest will close at 11PM EST (US), on Sunday, 28^th January, 2007. Please note the date!!!

This contest has ended.
