The '''Western Roman Empire''' is one of the playable factions in [[Barbarian Invasion]].

By the time of Barbarian Invasion, the Roman Empire is well and truly in decline. The Western Roman Empire is the larger, but poorer part of the old Empire. It is most at risk from the oncoming Barbarian Hordes. However, all is not lost. The WRE can still field an impressive army, and a skilled player can bring the Empire to new heights - including reunification with the East.

Saxons (RTW:BI Faction)

'''The Saxons''' are one of the playable factions in the [[Barbarian Invasion]] for [[Rome: Total War]].
==Game Play==
===Starting Position===
The Saxons start in the central area of Northern Germany. They start with a number of rebel provinces nearby and no major power close to them allowing the creation of a strong homeland in Northern Germany.

===Win Conditions===
The Saxons must have 18 provinces including Tribus Saxones (Vicus Saxones), Britannia Superior (Londinium) and Belgica (Samarobriva)

===Units===
Infantry:
*Peasants
*Levy Spearmen
*Saxon Keel
*Chosen Axemen
*Saxon Hearth Troops

Missile:
*Hunters

Cavalry:
*Saxon Sea Raiders
*Warlord

====Unique Units====

===Strategy guides===
The Saxon player can then choose between expanding Eastwards onto the steppes, attacking South-West along the Atlantic coast, or developing a navy and attacking Britain. Following the Eastern route is easier overall as there is more space to expand into and fewer powerful enemy factions. The Atlantic or British route mean fighting against the Western Roman Empire and is significantly more dangerous. The Saxons are unlikely to have the financial muscle to attempt more than one.

===AAR's===

==History==
The Saxons were a Germanic tribe invited to work as mercenaries by the Romano-British after the Roman withdrawl in 410AD. Led by the brothers Hengst and Horsa the Saxons overthrew the Romano-British taking their lands for themselves. Those lands are now called England after the Angles, another tribe who came with the Saxons.
The result is that the English are a Germanic people and speak a German dialect to this day.
Many towns and cities in England were founded by the Saxons, the largest of which is Birmingham
