“One of the features that
Caesar in Gaul brings is a new historical battle. The battle of Alesia was the final decisive action of Caesar’s Gallic war, and saw Caesar defeat Vercingetorix, the leader of the alliance of barbarian tribes that had gathered to oust the Romans from Gaul.
Set from Caesar’s perspective, the battle of Alesia tasks the player with maintaining the siege of Vercingetorix's Gallic stronghold. The battle begins with the Roman forces deployed within their own fortifications outside the hill-fort. The player must guide the Romans as they weather attacks from within the fort itself, and from the huge Gallic relief force without.
This screenshot depicts the battle map, and you can clearly see the hilltop fort of Alesia, surrounded by Caeser’s fortifications. We’ll make no bones about it – it’s a very challenging battle!”
