Take command as Caesar, Crassus, Pompey, Vercingetorix or Orodes in the waning days of the Roman Republic.
Five campaigns are included:
Caesar - 58 BC
Will you conquer Gaul and cross the Rubicon?
Crassus in the East - 53 BC
Will you defeat the Parthians and return to assert yourself as Rome's master?
Pompey - 49 BC
Will you escape to Greece and build an army capable of defeating Caesar?
The Gallic Rebellion - 53 BC
Will you lead a successful revolt to free Gaul from the Roman yoke for all time?
Parthia - 53 BC
Marcus Licinius Crassus is on the verge of invading, and your generals and sons are not to be trusted. Can you defeat Crassus while avoiding internal strife?
The First Triumvirate features unique victory conditions, challenging gameplay, four turns per year, and much more. And unlike many other mods, The First Triumvirate v1.9 uses the -mod: switch functionality provided by RTW. This means that no files are modified or installed that will prevent you from playing regular RTW games.

Some Gameplay Information
*******************************************
1. The triumph and victory conditions for each faction are listed on the faction leader's character scroll - mousing over these will inform you as to what conditions need to be met to achieve the various triumphs and ultimate victory.
2. The advisor is used extensively throughout the TFT campaigns - be sure to read what she has to say and respond appropriately!
3. You will find your movement and (in the case of Roman armies) troop morale reduced during Winter turns. Plan accordingly.
4. The AI armies are tough - you cannot charge them head-on and expect easy victories like in regular RTW - you will need to carefully plan and execute your tactics from battle to battle.
5. Romans cannot build archers! Make sure you check the mercenary pools in various provinces and you should be able to supplement your legions with a good mix of auxiliary troops.
6. The recommended difficulty settings are Medium (campaign)/Very Hard (battles). These are the settings used by the team to test and play the mod.
