Like the republic and empire itself, Expeditions: Rome will have you prove your worth in more than just warfare, with the cutthroat world of politics being just as dangerous. This decision will ultimately be determined by your actions earlier in the game, the good and evil you have done in the past, and the evidence of other people's actions. In between the campaigns, you'll spend some time in Rome, each time dispanding Legio Victrix - your legion - at the Rubicon unless you decide not to at the end of the Gallic campaign. There's a strong reason for this, which I'll explain shortly. However, Logic Artists openly admit and explain that events are out of order for artistic purposes. Those aware of history will know that the Egyptian war occurred after the Gallic war. You can trust me when I say this isn't the case.įor the sixty-plus hours of the story, you'll venture from Asia (modern-day Turkey) during the third Mithridatic war to Egypt during the civil war between Ptolomy and Cleopatra before finally heading to Gaul to face off against Vercingetorix. That this happens so early, no matter your decision, could put you in a mind that nothing you do will change the game's development and outcome.

The death of Julius Caesar, which happens very early on, is one such result. Some of them arguably aren't important, and there are a good few times where the result will be the same no matter what you choose. Early on in the game, many of the decisions you make may not seem necessary.
