Destruction of Carthage, 146 BC

Hannibal and Rome's most hated enemy, Carthage, has fallen.
​

Spoiler: Junk's Role

Hannibal (Anti-Roman Carthaginian)
Hannibal Barca

"We must either find a way or make one."

Speak the name of Hannibal, and fear will wash over the face of any Roman who remembers the horror stories of his deadly humiliation of the Roman armies during the Second Punic War. Hannibal Barca’s hatred of Rome runs in his blood, as his father was a victim of the war machine and Hannibal swore to defeat Rome to his last breath. He is remembered as one of the greatest military generals in all of history, and even after his death, his name struck fear in the hearts of Roman citizens.

You are Hannibal, the Anti-Roman Carthaginian. Because of your military exploits, you’ve been given the gift of Benedictio Imperator. The first time you are investigated by a Consul, you will return as Roman Republic Aligned, as well as coming back weaponless. Furthermore, you are also a 2x Ninja, which allows you to perform a kill silently. This does not replace the factional kill. As an additional bonus, it requires an extra vote to lynch you.

You win when Rome can no longer stop your dominance.

Fake: Julius Caesar (Roman Republic Aligned Dictator Magni)
Gaius Iulius Caesar

"I had rather be first in a village than second at Rome."

Julius Caesar, the most consequential Roman in the history of mankind. Born into a wealthy family, his political and military skills were second to none. Former Consul, conqueror of Gaul, winner of the Roman Civil War, and dictator for life, his life was cut tragically short by several conspirators who wished to see his reign end. It was his death that brought forth the conditions for the Roman Empire to come into being. Even after his death, he was beloved by the people of Rome and is considered a god.

You are Julius Caesar, the Roman Republic Aligned Dictator Magni. Because of your beloved nature with the citizenry of Rome, it requires one extra vote to lynch you.

You win when all threats to Rome have been eliminated.

Augustus has regained his lost legions from the battle of Teutoburg Forest. Arminius has been slaughtered, and Rome now controls Germania uncontested.
​

Spoiler: CP's Role

"Varus, give me back my legions!"
- Augustus, in regards to his loss at Teutoburg Forest

Arminius was directly responsible for one of the most embarrassing losses in Roman History, the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, in which a German army obliterated the Roman legions and left no man alive. Arminius, better known as Hermann the German, is considered a National Hero to Germany.

You are Arminius, the Anti-Roman German. Once during the game, you may choose to duel another player during the day. This will not replace the lynch and will run beside the lynch. The person with the most votes at the end of the day will die. Also, your ability to spot weaknesses in Rome's defense is uncanny. You also have the ability to execute a player if the votes on their wagon are 1 more than halfway. You cannot use this execution while you are dueling another player.

You win when Rome can no longer stop your dominance.

Fake: Scipio Africanus (Roman Republic Aligned Salvator Autem Romae)
Publius Cornelius Scipio

"Prepare for war, since you are unable to endure peace."

During the Second Punic War, Scipio Africanus came into his own during the thought-to-be suicidal Hispanic campaign. He eventually conquered Hispania and was at Carthage's back door until he finally came face to face with Hannibal. The two met at the Battle of Zama, where he decimated Hannibal's army and earned the agnomen "Africanus".

You are Scipio Africanus, the Roman Republic Aligned Salvator Autem Romae. As the man who bested Hannibal, you are gifted with a Duellum. Once during the game, you may choose to duel another player during the day. This will not replace the lynch and will run beside the lynch. The person with the most votes at the end of the day will die.

You win when all threats to Rome are eliminated.

With no enemies left, Rome rose once again and became the dominant power for the next thousand years. Slowly, Rome became federated, giving Gaul, Britannia, Germania, Africa, Hispania, and many other great regions semi-autonomy. Working together, the Novae Terrae, otherwise known as Americae, was discovered, and habituated by the Roman Federation. Now, the Civitates Foederatae Americae serves as Rome's second great imperial power, conquering the new continent while the Roman Federation controls much of Europe and the Meditteranean. Long Live Roman Glory. Ave Romae!

Cleopatra on the Terraces of Philae

Meanwhile... Egypt was saved from conquest by Rome through thrifty diplomacy and through a strong alliance which left the kingdom completely autonomous from Roman control. Cleopatra created an alliance with Octavian and together formed an eternal relationship between the two nations. Egypt continues to live free from Rome and even conquered much of southern Africa, from the Nile all the way to Cape Hope, and from Abbysinia to Ethiopia. The Egyptian Empire and Roman Federation live on today as an incredibly friendly international alliance.

Rome and Egypt have won!
Congratulations to the winners!
