Casus Belli

Casus Belli, often abreviated to CB, is an Italian mod for Rome: Total War.

History

Originally created and developed by the Italian team called Alaudae Team, the Rome Casus Belli project was stopped at the beta version 1.0.0 (subsequently updated to 1.1.0. with a patch). Casus Belli got its own hosted mod forum in early 2007. Modred, who was the Alaudae Team's leader, made a new edition in 2009, called Rome Casus Belli Classic Game. The in 2010 Iulianus Apostata made another new mod project called Rome Casus Belli Gold.

In late 2012, the Casus Belli Mod Team released their latest version, version 1.8.0.

Description

Casus Belli is a mod made by exclusively Italians and the mod itself is made in Italian. Casus Belli includes reskins for units of all factions, which are sometimes renamed, and adds numerous historical scripts to the game. Casus Belli is set in the time of the Roman Republic.

Scripts

Casus Belli includes a lot of changes regarding scripts, namely:

• Historically accurate scripts: Casus Belli contains several scripts focusing on historical events.
• Four military Roman reforms: In order to be more historically acurate, Casus Belli introduces three additional military reforms for the Roman factions. These military reforms give the player access to new units for the Romans.
• 4 turn per year script: this tweak prolongs the amount of turns that can be played in a single campaign.
• A new AOR script: units can only be recruited in certain regions, like elephants could only be recruited in a small amount of regions in Rome: Total War.

Units

• Casus Belli adds a lot of new historically accurate units to the game.
• The remaining units are reskinned. This was done to add more to historical accuracy.

Miscellaneous

• With new units, a new timeline and somewhat different factions, new historical battles were a logical addition to the mod. Casus Belli contains several new historical battles.
• Like new units, new buildings have also been included in Casus Belli, either to be able to create the new units, or for gameplay purposes.
• The current version of Casus Belli, version 1.8.0, is only available in Italian.
