58 BC: Caesar in Gaul — Imperator Augustus Expansion
58 BC marks the beginning of one of the greatest campaigns in Roman history.
In this new historical campaign for Total War: ROME II – Imperator Augustus, you step into the world of the Late Republic at the moment Julius Caesar takes command beyond the Alps. With Rome divided by ideology and ambition, Caesar marches north — not merely to defend the Republic’s provinces, but to forge the foundations of an empire.
This mod begins in 58 BC and places the player at the head of Caesar’s armies at the outbreak of the Gallic Wars, offering a fresh campaign experience built upon the Imperator Augustus map. Gaul stands as a vast and dangerous frontier of proud tribes, shifting alliances, and relentless warfare — a land where Rome’s fate will be decided not by speeches in the Senate, but by victory on the battlefield.
Yet the true struggle is not only against the tribes of the north.
As Caesar rises through conquest, wealth, and glory, the political balance of the Republic begins to fracture. In Rome, the Optimates and the Senate watch with fear and suspicion, while Caesar’s great rival — Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great) — looms as both a potential ally and an inevitable enemy. Every triumph in Gaul strengthens Caesar’s position… and brings the Republic closer to a final reckoning.
Will Caesar return as Rome’s greatest servant — or her master?
Take command of the legions, conquer Gaul, outmanoeuvre your enemies in Rome, and shape the future of the ancient world.
The Republic is dying…
In its place, forge the Roman Empire.
