Roma Surrectum, covering the era from 280BC, is a complete modification for Rome: Total War.

With two campaign maps, BI buildings & nightbattles, new units, new skins & skies, three unique factions, and innovative ideas; Roma Surrectum offers an original gaming experience that also incorporates some of the best work of the talented modding community.

As Rome you can take control of 35 different legions, such as Legio XXI Rapax, and even Caesar’s famous Tenth Legion (X Gemina); but not before you have weathered the storm of Pyrrhus and his army! Or, you could instead decide to play as any of the other factions, including the newly added Epirus, Syracuse, Bosporan Kingdom, and Pergamum. Whatever faction you choose; the new powerful rebels, along with the economic ‘zones of influence’ and unit AoR’s, promise an interesting and dynamic campaign.

The Western half of the Empire is beset by it's own troubles, aside from the Army of Constantine III which had overrun Gaul, the Vandals and Alans have reached Iberia, the Visigoths are at the gates of Rome, the Burgundii at the borders. These Germans have been driven westward by a greater host - the Hunnic hordes, sweeping everything in their path, they now stand on the threshold of the western lands, and will start inroads into the West Empire and the East Empire very soon. The East Roman Empire is beset by the Ostrogoths, also driven west by the Huns, and to the east the great Empire of the Sassanids, with their great cataphract cavalry.

Paeninsula Italica

-Main Article: Paeninsula Italica

Paeninsula Italica is a historical mod, with the timeframe of 338-222 B.C., and with aims to recreate the great struggles for the supremacy of Italy.

In this mod we are aiming to portray Italy in the late fourth century BC. After a hundred years since the founding of the Republic, Rome has grown considerably in power. It has dissolved the Latin League in 338 B.C. and has taken up the leadership among the states of Latium. In the center of the Peninsula are the powerful Etruscan League, the Sabini and the ancient nation of the Umbri. Even further to the north are teeming hordes of Celtic Insubres, Cenomani, Boii and Senones who have invaded across the Alps into the Po Valley, and entirely obliterated the old Etruscan dominion there, settling in an area neighbouring by the warlike Ligures, the Veneti and the Rhetic tribes. To the south are the hardy Sabellian tribes collected on some powerful leagues: Sabelli, Samnites, Lucani and Brettii. On the southern Adriatic coast are the Ipygian tribes, grouped in two major confederations: the Apuli and the Messapii. Some of the ancient Greek cities still survived and are collected in the "Italiote League" led by Tarentum. The rich Sicily is still contended by Chartage and the great city of Syracuse. News has arrived that Alexander of Epirus, uncle of Alexander the Great, has just landed with ambitions for the whole peninsula.
