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.

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*
 * Trace*
 * Numidia*
 * Dacia*
 * Seleucide*

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, Seleucide Empire is a fusion of Greece, Macedonia and Persia, which made a great difference of union for improved persian 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.
