In the height of its glory Carthage was the greatest power in the ancient world. With trade routes throughout the entire Mediterranean there the was no other nation to dispute its strength. Goods, gold and slaves poured in to the majestic city – the source of its might.
Countless mercenaries armies were constantly bought to ensure that all who threatened Carthage or its interest would be dealt with. However, another Empire was also on the rise. The city of Rome too had begun to gain strength. The Romans soon decided openly to challenge their Carthaginian rivals. The time of the Punic Wars had begun.
The Roman Campaign
Seeing the power and influence of Carthage the Senate of Rome decided that something should be done. An army was prepared and sent under a false pretext to Sicily. The First Punic war started during which Carthage lost its advantage and was forced to withdraw from Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia.
However, the Carthaginians were not prepared to lose their world dominance just like that. Its attention became focused on the Spanish peninsula. Seeing this, Rome responded and a territory grabbing began ultimately resulting in the Second Punic War. Yet at that time Rome had already achieved dominance in Europe and managed to claim victory once more. All Carthaginian remnants were swept away from the continent, though that did not calm the Senate of Rome. There were still feats that Carthage might rise and pose a threat once more.
In order to prevent the Third Punic war Roman legions were sent to Africa with orders to attack the rival city itself. Only a victory there would determine which of the two powers would remain.
The Carthaginian Campaign
For generations the city of Carthage was seen as the most powerful in the known world and its empire – far greater than anyone could imagine. Sadly that was soon to change. After losing the First Punic War to Rome, which resulted in a large sum being paid to the enemy. The Carthaginians also lost Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia, which forced them to search for another rich land to claim as their own. Their choice fell on Hispania. A large fleet set off for the Spanish peninsula to place it under Carthage’s control. Expanding their influence through conquest made the Carthaginian Empire rise once more to its former splendour.
However, this was not enough. Seeing this as an opportunity Carthage’s greatest general – Hannibal – decided to put Rome to its knees. With an army of mercenaries and war elephants he made his way through the Alps and steadily progressed towards the heart of Roman Empire itself – an event that would change history forever.

Celtic Kings: Rage of War is a game developed by Haemimont Games. It is set during the conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar.
In Italy and Spain, the game is titled as Imperivm: La guerra gallica and Imperivm: La Guerra de las Galias.
Overview[edit]
Celtic Kings takes place in ancient Roman times, during the years that Julius Caesar was the military leader of the Roman Empire. There are three main modes: Adventure, single player (a classic RTS Skirmish mode), and multiplayer. Adventure mode includes a tutorial and the main story. In both campaigns, you control a hero named Larax. In the main story, he loses his wife in a Teutonic raid. In grief, he swears vengeance, and gives his body and soul to Kathubodua, the Goddess of War, to enable him to achieve his revenge.
Genre[edit]
This game uses both role-playing and real-time strategy elements. Units are controlled in a standard RTS fashion. Most units have the ability to gain levels. This is done either through fighting, training(to a certain limit, usually level 12), or, in the case of the priest/druid, learning from units with more experience (levels) . In adventure mode, the player will constantly move between maps, which are all greatly varying in landscape and objectives. For dialogue, it is in the form of text, where the player has a choice of what to say.
Gameplay[edit]
There are two main factions, the Romans, and the Gauls. These two factions are diverse from each other, in terms of gameplay. Their units are different, with the superior Roman technology, while the Gauls depend on their numbers. There is a third, non-playable faction, the Teutons, a nomadic people who live in tents throughout the map. If non-allied units get too close to the tent, the Teutons will engage them in combat. These tents can be captured by killing all the Teutons within proximity of the tent.
There are two main resources in gameplay: food and gold. Food is mainly produced from villages or can sometimes be bought or captured. Food is an important resource for keeping units alive, since they can starve, thus losing health, and weakening them in battle. Gold comes mainly from taxing the people of your cities, though it can also be captured or borrowed (with a significant interest rate). It is used to produce and upgrade your units. Unlike a traditional RTS, the player's resources are not 'global'. Mules and supply ships are used to transport resources between cities.
Structures cannot be constructed, neither can they be destroyed, They can only be captured. This is much easier with a catapult, an immobile artillery unit built by up to ten military units to demolish enemy defenses. This job is also possible with archers, but less effective. All structures have a loyalty rating, which gradually decreases if enemy military units are ordered to capture it. If the rating reaches zero, than the structure surrenders to the conqueror's side.
There are hero units in the game, which are considerably more powerful than normal units. Heroes can attach units to themselves, giving them the ability to march in formation. The hero's experience is shared between the units under his/her command, making them stronger. Heroes can also recover artifacts from various temples located throughout the map, giving them special, albeit limited abilities such as healing friendly units and increased prowess in battle.
