Analysis and Optional rules forThe Roman Civil War

The centrâl issue in designing Caes : th€ Româû Civil war (S&1 lJ7) wâs demonstrâting the interaction beiween
militâry and political factors. The number of mâjor batiles in the Civil Wârs simply rvâsD't that gfeat. Caesâr fought eight major
bardcs dudng ûe period between 49 drcugh 45 BC (Massilia, Dythâchium, Phlrsalus. Alcxandriâ, thc Nilc, Zela, Thapsus
ând Mundâ). This avemges ou! !o amurd two bâttles pcr ycâr for him, or about one evcry four gamc ums in the Trajan system.
But rhese batdes âll hadlamifications which weûtbeyond the bârdclield. A mâjor victory (or dcfeal) in lhe Civil Wars inevilâbly
led !o mass delections ând a shifting ofalllances.
The easiesr wây !o show ûis was through rhe mechânism I had dcvcloped for Trajân. This is lhe use of Strâtâg€m mÀkcls.
For lhosc not familiar with the system, each player receives a ceiain number of Slûlâgcm markcrs for various gâme evenls,
most nolably ,rinning batdes. Similarly, a playcr can lose them for oûer evena. There are scvcral different types of Stràtâgem
markers: Militnry, PoliricâI, and Agent, eâch ofwhich can be ulilized by leâders to enhÀ1ce a plâyer's câpabililie,s. The Militâry
