Introduction.

[Original Spanish version]

Nos encontramos al final de la República romana. Tras numerosos conflictos sociales y con el fin de salvar el estatus quo de Roma, empiezan las guerras civiles entre Optimates y  Populares , dando pasó luego a los Cesarianos que tras batirse en batallas cerradas darían paso a la creación del Imperio; el último desarrollo del poderío romano.

Ahora el Romano debería de procurar traer la luz civilizatoria al mundo, subordinando a los individuos al poder estatal haciendo, el poder del estado a un ente universal para toda la humanidad.

Los romanos intentarían procurar traer la paz romana al mundo, anelada por el mundo, forzada sobre el mundo y  guardada en las manos de un solo hombre muy poderoso; el César.

Pero demasiado poder en manos de un solo hombre solo conduce a la tirania, el Romano era un hombre poderoso, el obrero, el constructor y el conquistador, el hombre que se denominaba a sí mismo César, tenía el poder de regir el imperio universal.

Cuando los seres humanos se les había sometido bajo el poderío de estos hombres, al ser humano se le había hecho sentir en lo más profundo de su ser que la justicia y que la ley natural recaía bajo de un déspota universal, haciéndole sentir lo terrible que era la condición de ser un simple hombre común bajo el poder de dicho hombre.

Muchos reinos propusieron su propia visión del modelo Romano y compitieron contra Roma, está al verse amenazada por poder imperios cercanos, trataría de destruir cualquier forma de gobierno que no fuera romana.

Roma traería la paz y el esplendor al mundo civilizado, pero tal éxito tendría el precio de traer enemigos que anelaban la gloria, propiciando los celos en los corazones de otros romanos qué decía van para así mismo será el próximo emperador.

El deterioramiento del exceso de poder de Roma traería como consecuencia, la guerra internas y externas, las últimas guerras por parte de Naciones bárbaras que vivían muy lejos de la frontera romanas.

En este caos de guerra, pestes,  hambre y destrucción¿ lograrán sobrevivir los sucesores de Roma o por otro lado la oscuridad bárbara se impondrá?

 

English version.

We are at the end of the Roman Republic. After numerous social conflicts and in order to save the status quo of Rome, civil wars began between Optimates and Populares, giving way to the Caesarians who, after battling in close battles, would give way to the creation of the Empire; the last development of Roman power.

 

Now the Roman should try to bring the civilizing light to the world, subordinating the individuals to the state power, making the state power a universal entity for all mankind.

 

The Romans would seek to bring Roman peace to the world, longed for by the world, forced upon the world and kept in the hands of one very powerful man; Caesar.

 

But too much power in the hands of one man leads only to tyranny, the Roman was a mighty man, the laborer, the builder and the conqueror, the man who called himself Caesar, had the power to rule the universal empire.

 

When human beings had been subjected under the might of these men, the human being had been made to feel in the depths of his being that justice and that natural law rested under a universal despot, making him feel how terrible was the condition of being a mere common man under the power of such a man.

 

Many kingdoms proposed their own vision of the Roman model and competed against Rome, which, being threatened by the power of nearby empires, would try to destroy any form of government that was not Roman.

 

Rome would bring peace and splendor to the civilized world, but such success would come at the price of bringing enemies who craved glory, fostering jealousy in the hearts of other Romans who said they were going to be the next emperor.

 

The deterioration of the excess of power of Rome would bring as consequence, the internal and external wars, the last wars on behalf of barbarian Nations that lived very far from the Roman frontier.

 

In this chaos of war, plagues, famine and destruction, will Rome's successors manage to survive or will the barbarian darkness prevail?

I base myself on some moral quotes from Dr D.S Gregory I added a bit of ideas of oppression and freedom against the system and at the end the apocalyptic touch of that fight.( like Attila total war).

"The Romans actually had subjugated the world; they had brought peace and justice, good roads, law and order, protection; but it was a forced peace. The iron heel of Rome was on mankind, and it had to pay a price. Rome was a strong dictatorship. Dr. D. S. Gregory has expressed it like this: “[The Roman] was to try whether human power, taking the form of law, regulated by political principles of which a regard for law and justice was most conspicuous, could perfect humanity by subordinating the individual to the state and making the state universal” (Gregory, Key to the Gospels, p. 53)."

I got the rest from uniting this idea with the idea of Revelations chapter 6 and barbarian invasions Likewise with Attila's idea of being the punishment for Rome (Scourge)

don't forget the battle sequence of the Barbarian invasion.

It's like the last breath of old Ancient World.

 

[Lion.Kanzen]

I think some things need to be changed.

For example late roman factions should have lower defense level.

This is the product of how the defenses have deteriorated over time after waves of barbarians.

 

Roman Western Empire 

Roman Eastern Empire

Palmyrene Empire
