You are running along a dark street, overwhelmed by smell of blood and burning, you must hold the ground! The Lord supports you and you will live forever, of course, and your sword has no mercy - they cannot stop you! Kill! Kill! KILL! Kill, so for those allies who follow you it will be easier, and then, collapse on a pile of dead enemies and live forever! Do not ask for mercy and do not give it in return! Blood fills everything around, it's good, it's easier to crawl, no! Not now! There is still a bit, a few more killings before the victory... No! You do not want to wake up! Thousands of faces persuade you to close your eyes. You want to grit your teeth. Faces ask you not to do this. One more breath. Faces frown displeasedly. You can't breathe. It's not fair! Faces nod in agreement. You do not want back! Faces become look guilty, hide their eyes, gather in a round dance. Their dance turns into a sparkling funnel. A dry whirlwind picks you up.

It's shining. A lot of light. You fall into cool water, dissect it with your powerful body, disperse waves on the sides. You are in your natural environment. Water is life. Life is... Life is everything around. You spread like a flowing river, meander through a magical land. The shores are filled with people you once killed. You know them all by name. They are waiting and calling you. They do not hate you. You are their brother, forever. You don't have to pretend anymore. There is no pain and fear. This is a magical land, it attracts you with its blue cloudless sky, its rustling groves, where there are no snakes and predators. You are drawn to her, you were born here, and you will stay here forever, nostalgia for a nonexistent homeland picks you up with a yellow leaf and circles you above the ground.

And suddenly you see everyone who has gone before you - Lucius, the centurion Decius, Memnon and the Eternally Alive Trajan who is looking at you so sadly and guilty, oh Gods! There are so many! And even more of those whom you killed, they are also here... Behind them are still faces, thousands of faces, thousands of hands, thousands of words. You drop hundreds of questions, words swirl in the air, carried away by the wind. You take off from the earth and fly to heaven - now you are at home - it's just there, somewhere in an unimaginable distance, someone took pity and finished off your empty body... For this world has changed forever, because there was only... Scorched ground...

In the new world, old thing awaits you: massacre from horizon to horizon. War goes everywhere: from the icy wastelands of the North to the barren sands of the Sahara. Dozens of new units open up many tactical opportunities, and each faction has its own approach to combat and warfare. Enemies are more stubborn, merciless and numerous, and defeating them will not be so simple. Take your shield and the trusty spatha and meet your fate!

Fading.
Population decline, financial crisis and plague outbreaks are gradually killing an already weakened empire.

Black bitter smoke.
Fighting armies can personally see terrible signs of decadence on the battlefield

Mass killings
Show the conquered where their place is and let them forever remember who their true lord is and of course, do not forget to enjoy their suffering!

Asymmetric war.
The brutal hordes of barbarians, endless rebellions, unprecedented rampant banditry, social crisis - can you keep the empire from collapse? Or will it fall into the abyss under your rule? Or will you be the one to strike her decisively?

Faces of death.
On the battlefield you can meet piles of skulls and corpses.

Way of the Warrior.
Destroy thousands of enemy soldiers and then take your fate.
