Description
Spartacus: Total War is a modification that focuses on the gladiator uprising by Spartacus and other events at that time, such as Quintus Sertorius's rebellion in Iberia and the war with King Mithrades of Pontus.
Factions
The Gladiators
In 73BC, the slaves from a gladiatorial school near Capua revolted against their masters and defeated the school's guards. In their escape they encountered a wagon full of weapons used by gladiators that allowed them to defeat the garrison of Capua that was sent against them as soon as the authorities there heard about the rebellion.
With the news of this first success many other gladiators from Capua, that was famous by its gladiatorial schools, as well as other slaves from the neighbouring towns, joined the rebellious slaves in the hills of Mount Vesuvius, to where they had retreated.
Their leader is Spartacus a thracian soldier that deserted from a auxiliary force of the roman army, was captured, sold as a slave, and then made a gladiator due to his strength. His experience in the ways of war, his intelligence and resourcefullness, allied with the disdainful way the Romans have faced this revolt, have given Spartacus and his people the time to prepare to meet the enemy.
The Gladiator's Units
Velite Gladiator
Mirmillo Gladitor
Samnite Gladiator
Retarius Gladiator

Dimachaerii
Gladiator Archer

and the Chariot
Shepherd Slingers
Not many years have passed since the Social Wars that opposed Rome against the rest of the cities in Italy. And although they have been defeated, some of them are always prompt to rebel against the Roman oppressor.
Trained and equiped in Roman style, this troops are a precious addition to Spartacus's army.
Samnite Warriors
Marcii Warriors
Italian Officers Although some troops will join the rebellion, they are still commanded by their own officers. File:Stw glad italianofficers.png
The Republic of Rome
These are turbulent days for the Roman people. After the death of their first dictator in a hundred years, and almost recovered from the devastation that decades of struggle, both abroad and internal, brought, Rome finds itself threatened in various fronts once again.
Iberia, one of Rome's most ancient provinces, is now nearly completely dominated by the rebel Quintus Sertorius and his iberian allies, and he is not about to content himself with it. Sertorius must be stoped at the price of having him nominated dictator, or even worse... king of Rome!
In the East, King Mithridates and his armies threatened to take over roman influence and power in Asia Minor for years, and now, after they have invaded, yet again, roman provinces and allies there, war against Pontus has been declared.
Parthia also threatens roman territories. The descendants of the Persians have expanded through the lands of Babylonia, Armenia and Arabia until they reached almost Rome's back door. Will the Parthians be willing to halt their expansion or will war follow?
And in Italy, who is this man that drives a horde of slaves, gladiators, and even freemen who have decided to join an army of rebels? Surely nothing more than rabble scum to be delt easily by Rome's armies...
The Roman's Units

Legionaries will only be recruitable in Italy. In the later game, however, some cities across the map will be able to expand and recruit them. But there will be few of them. The Roman's siege weapons will be very powerful. It will compensate to take ballistas and scorpions to the battlefield as they will cause a lot of punishment to the enemy.
To represent the Roman religion tolerance, a system of foreign temple construction will be available. You will be able to construct temples to the native gods, though not all the levels.
