Revolt in the Lowlands(SP)

About the mod​

This is a small side project of me, since there are some moments I can't work on Romae Bellum because someone else is, and then I have this to work on. This mod will focus on the years of 69 and 70 AD, during the Revolt of the Batavi under command of Gaius Julius Civilis an auxiliary officer in the Imperial Roman army, But born as a Batavian.  the Batavi and their allies managed to inflict a series of humiliating defeats on the Roman army, including the destruction of two legions. They were joined and supported by more tribes wich include: Frisii,Celtic tribes from Gallia Belgica.,Cananefates and the Chauci.

I will try to keep this mod as Historicall accurate as possible. So this means Historicall commanders, and cities and a historicall map.​

I will finish the campaign map tomorow.

 

[Sir Edwards]

so might i ask who is in control of romae bellum?

 

[Windbusche]

This is a small side project of me, since there are some moments I can't work on Romae Bellum because someone else is, and then I have this to work on.

Might I ask, can you read?

 

[Sir Edwards]

but i am asking who it is taking up all this time, is it DumbMan or DumbMan + someone else because 2 people can in fact work on a project at the same time in face working alone then showing your mate the work slows the process compared to working together

 

[Windbusche]

Ah, Legio XVI Flavia Firma, my old MnG legion. Good times.
