We continue to whittle down the Vandals near Campus Quadi, while Burkhard sets out in the west to conquer Mediolanium, one of the two major cities we'll need to complete the campaign. An elite Roman force attacks us in the woods, where we have combat bonuses in our favour but a bemusing lack of visibility working against us - I'm still unsure if that's actually intentional by the devs...
RTW:BI is the original expansion pack for Rome: Total War, covering the Western Roman Empire's fall in the face of barbarian hordes. BI introduces the religion and hording mechanics, the latter of which involves huge marauding armies which can sack or settle locations across the map, once they lose their last settlement. We play as the Lombardi, a potential horde faction with a balanced roster of units, most notable for strong infantry including Lombard Berserkers. They are intended as an unplayable faction but can be played without issues by editing the descr_strat file.
