The winter of the year 399/400 AD was so hard, that the Rhine, the 
frontier river between the Roman Empire and the Barbarian countries 
for centuries, started to freeze. On the night of January 1st the 
wary German tribes cross the frozen river with thousand of warriors.
When they join forces with their brothers who have already been settling
in the border provinces of the Empire, Rome finds itself without defence.
And while the glorious Legions are exhausted, yet another terrifying name 
resounds from the East: Attila, leader of the Hunnic hordes from the Asian 
steppa guides the Barbarian attack on Europe.
By 400 Britannia has already been abbandoned by the Eagles of the 
Legions. Futhermore in the year 395 AD the Roman Empire has been 
divided by Emperor Theodosius between his sons Honorius of the West 
Romans, who will move his capital to Ravenna, and Arkadius of the East 
Romans and Greeks with the capital Constantinople.
Thus begins the era of the Barbarian Invasions. Will they lead to dark
ages ? And what will be your part in this exiting period ?
Will you save the old menaced capital of the west, Rome with all its 
wonders against the Barbarian Huns and against the Gothic, Vandal and 
Frankonian hords ? 
You can also play one of the German tribes and conquer a world empire. 
In the East you can try to take Sassanid revenge for the Persian defeat
against Alexander's Macedonian Greeks. You can also try to defend the 
East Roman capital Constantinople against Persians and Balcan Goths, 
and then reunite the Roman empire by conquering the Western provinces. 
But don't let it take your forces to far from home: There is a new 
Prophet waiting in the desert.
