The Vandals have arrived on our eastern border and threaten to destroy our fledgling empire effortlessly. Diplomacy buys us time as we weigh up how to tempt them away. Meanwhile, we still need to plan our expansion.
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.
