(一)派系介绍


(注意,西罗马帝国首都不再是罗马了,公元395年,西罗马帝国定都梅蒂奥拉努(Mediolanum),也就是今天的米兰,如此看,如果在中2全战里绿色米兰说自己也是罗马帝国的继承人倒也不过分~记得在蛮族入侵里西罗有种很逗的弩兵,不知道是不是米兰热那亚盾弩的远祖

The Western Roman Empire
西罗马帝国
“the Western Roman Empire on the very edge of catastrophe”
Its Emperor dances to the tune of a half-Vandal general, its powerless Senators idle on vast, poorly-managed estates. Since the Empire’s division the flaws besetting the West have rapidly become apparent. There is neither the manpower nor the gold needed for an effective army, leaving it unable to deal with the many displaced barbarians pouring across Rome’s borders ahead of the Hunnic horde. Roman Emperors have become increasingly fragile - many are manipulated by generals or deposed by their meddling Eastern counterparts. Nonetheless, it is still possible for the Western Empire to rise again. Times of crisis create opportunities which, if seized upon, will see the Empire re-forged and re-vitalised.
While its ally to the east has implemented sound fiscal strategies to ensure stability and longevity, the Western Roman Empire begins the Grand Campaign haemorrhaging funds and close to breaking point. If it is unable to get its house in order, how will it weather the storm of rampaging barbarian tribes? Only the most inspired leadership can save the once-mighty Empire from calamity!
“西罗马帝国已近黄昏...”
内有强臣(指的就是西罗名将斯提里科,一半汪达尔人血统,后被西罗皇帝猜忌诛杀,后部下叛乱配合汪达尔人洗劫了罗马),暗弱的元老院里的元老寥寥无几,国内则是纷乱迭起混乱不堪。帝国的分裂已经让西部千疮百孔。人口凋零,资金匮乏让帝国军力疲弱不堪,面对因匈奴的入侵而不断越过帝国边境的蛮族部落,更是显得捉襟见肘。皇权也因野心勃勃的将军和东部帝国的干涉而不断削弱...但依旧有一丝希望尚存,让西部帝国从新崛起。巨大的挑战往往伴随着巨大的机遇,如果能抓住它,帝国则有望中兴。
相比之下,东罗马帝国的统治则因为财政的稳健而得以巩固和延续,而西罗马帝国则因为连年的战争而财政枯竭濒临崩溃(应该指的是西哥特人在西罗马建国之初与之进行的战争,从公元408年开始到公元410年,先后三次围攻和洗劫罗马)。如果不刷新吏治革除弊政,帝国将如何面滚滚而来入侵的蛮族洪流?只有最卓越的领导者才能挽救帝国使其重拾昔日帝国的荣耀与光荣!
