Imperium IV - Imperial Battles

Imperium: Imperial Battles, or Imperium IV: Imperial Battles, is the fourth title of the strategy saga of Imperium, sequel to Celtic Kings: Rage of War (know in Italy and Spain as Imperium I - The Gallic War), Celtic Kings: The Punic Wars (know in Italy as Imperium II - The Punic wars or in Spain as Imperium - Conquest of Hispania) and of Imperium III: Great Battles of Rome.

The game is suggested to be developed by Haemimont Games and published by FX Games. It allows the player to more access to 16 civilitations against the 8 of the previous title.

Improvements from I:GBR

 * 7 civilitations have been added: Greece, Macedonia, Persia, Pontus, Thracia, Dacia and Numidia; Egypt has been divided for hystorical reasons, forming the Low (Nothern Egypt) and High (Southern Egypt) factions.
 * A newest campaign has been added, but never appaered in history: The Teutonic Invasions.
 * The Adventure Campain Mode has returned, and horever the Great Battles has returned too.
 * The heroes have still 5 special traits, but now their max level is 20 for level, so the max level for those traits is 100.
 * In the first 2 strategy games, every level up could make an higher health for the leveled up unit. Now this feature has been added back. So the Amon statue building upgrade in Horus and Anubis temple in Egyptian factions will now be: permanent possibility to all just-recruited warriors to get all 4 egyptian amulets (Attack +4, Defence +4, Health +500 and Level +4).

Civilitations
There are 16 civilitations, each with unique skills, strenghts and weaknesses: (* = new)


 * Republican Rome
 * Imperial Rome
 * Low Egypt
 * Carthage
 * Gallia
 * Hispania
 * Germania
 * Britannia
 * Greece*
 * High Egypt*
 * Macedonia*
 * Persia*
 * Thrace*
 * Numidia*
 * Dacia*
 * Pontus*

Teutons (Teutonia) are in this title too, but there is a new affiliable and undirecly playable civilitation: Babilonia.

Reasons

 * Since the historical divisions between the High and Low Egypt, this state is now divided in two.
 * Dacia is added in honour to the first title of the strategy saga, since the roman campain is backgrounded in Dacia.
 * Numidia is dedicated to the Cathaginian battles of the punic wars, since the second title of the strategy saga.
 * It is also possible to play as Greeks and Macedonians in their canonical campaigns, but also the Persians for an alternative campaign, after the defeat of Alexander the Great. Tracians are also another indipendent part of Greece, like Macedonia, and they will make the greatest opponent in theyr own rebellion, present in Adventure Mode. Also, Ponthus is a fusion of Greece and Macedonia, which made a great difference of union for improved macedonic strenght but worser greek weakness.

Adventure Mode
The Adventure Mode, omitted and pacled by the Great Battles in the third title of the strategy series, has come back but without omitting the Great Battles, a variation of the greatest battle of their adventure versions but with more opponents and more difficulty, but also new objects. Obviously, it is also possible to play your own adventures created from the Editor mode.

The teutonic invasions
The new adventure has never appaered in history, so it is reitaned inedit. It has 25 maps in all game, everyone very complex.

This adventure takes place in an alternative timeline, where every teutonic tribe is taken together all in a country, Teutonia of course, with just one goal: world domination. But one day, an egyptian called Hazem wants to have his revenge after discovering by Hasser that his own village has been destroyed, and the princess of the place, Rawia, Hazem's future bride, has been kidnapped, so the egyptian gets his people to the rebellion against the teutons. Meanwhile, in Gallia, an huge barbariant city has been raided to ground by the teutonic army. There's only a survivor, Larax, who wants to use the power the godded Katobodua gave him for search and destroy all teutons he finds, even risking his life. Soon, the two heroes will have to unite their forces each other, but also with the romans, carthaginians, barbarians, hellenics, hiberian and eastern people, forming the alliance between Egypt, Gallia, Rome, Carthage, Greece, Macedonia, Persia, Numidia, Thrace, Dacia, Hiberia, Pontus, Germany and Britain, brother in arms against the teutons.
