ONUS! Triumviratus - Expansion Army XVII - Crassus

Rome is in turmoil…

In 59 B.C. Gaius Iulius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus and Marcus Licinius Crassus, facing the intransigence of the Roman Senate towards their particular projects and ambitions, sealed an informal political pact commonly known as the First Triumvirate. Thus was born a “three-headed monster”, in Varron’s words, destined to change the course of the history of the Roman State.

Triumviratus is a versatile expansion of the ONUS! series that gives you the opportunity to take command of the armies of Gaius Iulius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, Marcus Licinius Crassus and the civitates of Gaul, as well as an extensive selection of entirely new allied and mercenary forces, to immerse yourself directly in the armed conflicts that changed the course of the history of Rome, Europe and the Middle East between 59 and 44 BC..

Crassus’ army box leads the player to take up the banners of the legions that the “richest man in Rome” formed to fulfill his dream of conquering the opulent Parthian Empire. He is accompanied by his son, Crassus Iunior, a skilled and courageous general, who had been trained in Caesar’s first campaigns in Gaul. His archenemy, Surena, responsible for his defeat and death at Carrhae, shares a box with both of them, ready to put his genius at the service of the Parthian armies. Crassus’ legions do not know what is coming, but with the help of the fearless vigiles and numerous eastern mercenaries, such as the Galatian legionaries and the Rhodian slingers, they may be able to defeat fate and change the history of the world. If not, the survivors of Carrhae can always make a name for themselves in the service of the armies of the distant Han Empire, beyond the other end of the Orb known to the Romans.
