Mount & Blade Ancient Wars

[Ðatisan]

Description
Mount & Blade Ancient Wars is set in the classical antiquity period, and focuses on a more inclusive and in depth portrayal of each culture which previously was portrayed anachronistically. The campaign begins in 200 BC.

The Improved Warband engine powers the visuals of the game and the new Total War like Command features allows players to focus on individual soldiers on the battlefield, which in itself may contain thousands of combatants at a time. The Ancient Wars Team has stated that they wish to bring out the more human side of war this way, with soldiers reacting with horror as their comrades get killed around them and Companions inspiring their men with heroic speeches before siege towers hit the walls of the enemy Fort. This is realized using facial animations for individual units, adding a feel of horror and realism to the battles.

Update#1 Story plot -
There are several variations on the basic legendary tale.

Plutarch presents Romulus's and Remus's ancient descent from prince Aeneas, fugitive from Troy after its destruction by the Achaeans. Their maternal grandfather is his descendant Numitor, who inherits the kingship of Alba Longa. Numitor’s brother Amulius inherits its treasury, including the gold brought by Aeneas from Troy. Amulius uses his control of the treasury to dethrone Numitor, but fears that Numitor's daughter, Rhea Silvia, will bear children who could overthrow him.

Amulius forces Rhea Silvia into perpetual virginity as a Vestal priestess, but she bears children anyway. In one variation of the story, Mars, god of war, seduces and impregnates her: in another, Amulius himself seduces her, and in yet another, Hercules.

The king sees his niece's pregnancy and confines her. She gives birth to twin boys of remarkable beauty; her uncle orders her death and theirs. One account holds that he has Rhea buried alive – the standard punishment for Vestal Virgins who violated their vow of celibacy – and orders the death of the twins by exposure; both means would avoid his direct blood-guilt. In another, he has Rhea and her twins thrown into the River Tiber.

In every version, a servant is charged with the deed of killing the twins, but cannot bring himself to harm them. He places them in a basket and leaves it on the banks of the Tiber. The river rises in flood and carries the twins downstream, unharmed.[16]

The river deity Tiberinus makes the basket catch in the roots of a fig tree that grows in the Velabrum swamp at the base of the Palatine Hill. The twins are found and suckled by a she-wolf (Lupa) and fed by a woodpecker (Picus). A shepherd of Amulius named Faustulus discovers them and takes them to his hut, where he and his wife Acca Larentia raise them as their own children.
