Description
In Contubernium: Rome at War you take control of an 8-man squad of roman legionaries (the contubernium), as they are about to face an enemy army in battle. You will determine their fate by triggering dice-based abilities and playing action-cards to support your legionary in the front line. Each engagement is randomized through a number of selectable card decks (events, enemies, battlefields) to maximize replayability and the feeling of unpredictability on the battlefield.
Contubernium is not necessarily about defeating every enemy, it’s equally important to keep your contubernales alive throughout the battle. Rotate your frontline whenever exhaustion is straining your legionaries. Maintain your shield wall and face Rome’s enemies head on. Legionaries, advance!
