Roman missions

With the Punic Wars Content pack, Rome has a unique set of 9 mission trees primarily focusing on its conquests during the time period, including the unification of Italy, the struggle with Carthage over Africa and the Western Mediterranean, conquering the tribes of Gaul and Hispania, and incursions into the east to gain control of the Hellenistic states of Greece and Asia.

Roman Italia

Since the founding of Roma by Romulus hundreds of years ago, our proud city has skirmished with our Italic neighbors, vying for control of the coasts and cities of Latium and Campania. Our recent victories over the Etruscans and Samnites have proved our superiority, and it is clear that it is Rome who is destined to unite the Italic peoples and lead them to glory.

The Roman Italia mission tree focuses on the unification of Italy under Roman rule, with tasks to conquer each of the other Italic regions and tribes and set up Roman colonies in the region. The end of the tree allows choosing between possible specializations for the colonies, as well as choosing whether to grant full rights and citizenship to deal with the now-subjugated Italic peoples, or enforcing a Roman hegemony. Various optional diplomatic tasks include organizing a Pan-Italic Congress in an attempt to seek support for the unification of Italy, issuing offers and demands to peacefully make subjects of the Greek city-states of Magna Graecia, as well as betraying the sworn Roman allies and attempting to forcefully annex them into the realm.

Targeted and required countries and territories in the tasks of the Roman Italia mission tree.

  Destroy Apulians
  Vanquish Lucanians

Mission branches

Italian diplomacy branch

The Italian diplomacy branch starts off the mission tree, with no prerequisites, and allows the country to choose how it deals with the other Italic states. The main task required to progress down the rest of the tree will give various claims on other Italian states as well as various military modifiers, but through optional tasks Rome can also seek to emulate the Greek leagues of old and attempt a more diplomatic approach towards unifying Italy - or forsake its alliances altogether and destroy its sworn feudatories.

The First Provincia

The islands that lay off the Italian peninsula are natural targets for expanding Rome's influence and depriving Punic and Greek colonists of the rich spoils these rugged lands hold.

The First Provincia mission tree directs Rome to expand into the nearby Mediterranean islands of Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily, historically their first conquests outside of Italia proper after the First Punic War. Beginning with claims to all the target regions, there is one branch for conquering and establishing colonies on each island, with addition tasks to colonize the uncontrolled coasts of Corsica, deal with the Nuragic tribes of Sardinia, either by granting autonomy in the form of tribal vassal or ruthlessly suppressing the rebellion, and securing the rich and important grain production of Sicily, finishing with a choice between exploiting the provinces for their resources or seeking to more closely integrate the islands into the Roman sphere. Additional optional tasks might also allow Rome to reach out to remaining Siculian tribes of Sicily and offer protection or liberation in the name of Italic solidarity.

Targeted and required countries and territories in the tasks of the The First Provincia mission tree.

  Sicilian Foothold
  Approach Siculians
  Punic Sicilia
  Land of Tyrants
  The Bread Basket (stripes)
  Secure Sardinian Coast
  Unruly Populace

Cisalpine Gaul

The Italic and Gallic tribes to the north hold sway over the fertile Padus valley and block our land access to the north. We must sweep aside these pitiful tribes and secure the rich lands of Cisalpine Gaul for Rome.

After solidifying Roman rule over Italia, the Cisalpine Gaul mission tree focuses on the conquest and colonization of the Gallic and Italic tribes further to the north, in the eponymous region of Cisalpine Gaul. The tasks of the main branch alternate between conquering various provinces in the area and inviting Roman settlers into the region, providing a further influx of Roman pops to develop and stabilize the region alongside the usual Roman colonies, and as with many of the other Roman mission trees the final task gives a choice between exploiting the area for its resources or purusing a more long term strategy of development and assimilation. There are also optional tasks to conduct diplomatic negotiations with some of the neighbouring tribes in the area, which can lead to making allies and subjects of friendly tribes in the area.

Targeted and required territories in the conquest tasks of the Cisalpine Gaul mission tree.

  Land Grants in Senonia
  Into the Padus Valley
  The Northern Latins
  Gallia Cispadana
  Invade Insubria
  Vanquish Venetii
  Gallia Transpadana (stripes)

Potential target countries in the diplomatic tasks of the Cisalpine Gaul mission tree (as of 450 AUC).

Diplomacy branch

The diplomacy branch is optional and its two tasks can be taken after the initial task to settle Romans in Senonia. These tasks each trigger a small event chain that allows Rome to make diplomatic offers to a single neighbouring Italic and Gallic culture group tribe each, which can lead to forming alliances or gaining the tribe as a feudatory or tribal vassal, respectively (depending on the task).

Punic Rivals

Long has the Punic city of Carthage dominated trade in the western Mediterranean, extending their domains across fertile Africa, the populous islands of the Internal Sea, the rich lands of Hispania, and even, it is said, beyond the Pillars of Hercules. If we are to become the foremost power in the area, a reckoning with Carthage is inevitable - they will not readily forgo the trappings of their vast empire.

Once Rome has cemented its status as a major power in the region, the Punic Rivals mission tree directs Rome towards directly challenging the might of Carthage, taking its colonies and finally breaking its power for good one way or another reflecting the historical actions and campaigns of the Second and Third Punic Wars. The first part of the mission tree focuses on weakening Carthage by stripping it of its outlying colonies, alongside some optional tasks to challenge to might of the Carthaginian navy and make diplomatic dealings with Hispanic tribes and some of the many Carthaginian subject states. Once Carthage has been cut down to size, Rome can show its superiority by demanding tribute from the weakened state and then end the threat of Carthage once and for all, by either subjection or conquest.

Targeted and required countries and territories in the tasks of the Punic Rivals mission tree, as of 450 AUC.

  Hispanian Dominance
  Neuter Carthage
  Debt of Carthage and Demand Servitude
  Carthago Delenda Est

Mission branches

Main branch

The main branch forms the main body of the mission tree, containing all the tasks required to complete the mission tree, and begins with tasks to strip Carthage of first its Hispanic possessions and then all of its colonies outside of Africa, giving a number of temporary bonuses for weakening the city. Once Rome has become sufficiently larger than Carthage, it can demand that Carthage itself become a tributary, though they are unlikely to keep to this humiliation for long; Rome can then proceed to either repair relations with Carthage and formalize its status as a proper allied client state, or decide that Carthage is too dangerous to be left even as a subject and annex the city as another Roman province.

Hispanian Ambitions

The great rolling hills of the Iberian peninsula verily seem to have no end, but we know that there is a sea surrounding this place, and with a sea there is a goal. All of Hispania must be brought into the fold, from the Pillars of Hercules, to the mountains of Pyrene, if we are to ensure the Mediterranean trade routes and protect our western borders from invasion.

The Hispanian Ambitions mission tree is available to Rome once it has either broken Carthaginian power through the preceding Punic Rivals mission tree or established its own presence on the Hispanic mainland, and tasks it with the conquest or subjugation of the entire peninsula. The various tasks of the tree direct Rome towards conquering first the Greek and Punic-colonized east coast, then moving further west and inland to secure control over the Pillars of Hercules and the coasts beyond as well as defeating the many Celtiberian tribes of central Hispania. Optional tasks include extending Roman rule over the hardy Lusitanians and Cantabrians as well as diplomatic tasks to intervene in the affairs of the Iberians and gain subjects and allies.

Targeted and required territories in the tasks of the Hispanian Ambitions mission tree.

Since time immemorial it has been the homeland of great kingdoms and empires, stretching from the known world all the way to the distant Indus.

Completion Criteria This mission will be considered complete when Anatolia and Syria have been annexed.
