Rome Total War Imperial Campaign Year by Year - Part 6

Ranked #20,417 in Entertainment, #248,581 overall

Year 51 to Year 55 - 220 BC to 216 BC

With 41 regions under Julii control, it might be tempting to make a quick rush, but caution is advised. The Brutii have plenty of fight left in them. Continue to non-stop produce military units in all of your major towns, including the newly captured Brutii and Scipii towns in Central and Southern Italy and Sicily.

Year 51 - 220 BC - Moving Toward Rome

day51 220bc numantia
The last Gallic commander has 1,000 troops backing him up in Numantia. Caution is being used by calling in reinforcements before attacking.

day51 220bc rome
Battle around Rome whittles down the huge armies surrounding the city.

day51 220bc apollonia
Progress is made down the Grecian coast to capture Apollonia.

Campus Scythii is captured on the far eastern border, bringing the Julii empire to 43 regions.

Year 52 - 219 BC - Numantia and Syracuse Fall

day52 219bc campus getae
A small break. The large army inside Campus Getae leaves, making for an easier assault of the city.

day52 219bc numantia
When the city of Numantia ran out of food, the three-star General "sallied forth" for battle. Now Numantia belongs to Julii. 45 regions down -- five to go!

Year 53 - 218 BC - Opposition Encountered

day53 218bc campus getae
Campus Getae becomes Region #46. But don't let your guard down when things are going smoothly. Brutii keeps on coming.

day53 218bc corduba
Corduba was the next logical target, but two large stacks guard the golden city. On my first play-through, the Carthagians never showed any strength on the European continent.

Year 54 - 217 BC - Rome Burns!

day54 217bc rome captured
With stalemates developing in western Spain and the eastern front around Camp Getae, I went from siege to battle to conquer Rome.

I had 46 regions before, 47 regions after Rome's capture, and I am told I have three regions to go. I thought it was Rome plus 50 regions??!

day54 217bc sicily to africa
The possibility of picking up an undefended Numidian city sends this army to Africa.

Year 55 - 216 BC - Victory!

day55 scalabis
Scalabis in western Spain becomes Region 48.

day55 Thermon
The army from Apollonia "snuck" down to Thermon to capture Region 49.

day55 lepcis magna
Lepcis Magna on the coast of Africa becomes Region 50!

day55 victory
Victory is yours!
