A mutiny among the Roman troops in Italy becomes a massacre of those soldiers of Germanic origin by Stilicon, the last bulwark of the West.

If the Vandali Regnum is destroyed and the Vandali and their allies return to Foederati status, the automatically wins. Otherwise, the player with the most PV at the end of the scenario wins. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scenario 6 : The succession to Honorius (424-427) With the death of Honorius, who left no direct heir, the imperial bureaucrats at Ravenna proclaimed the Prime Notary Johannes emperor. Theodosius II refused to recognise him and put forward his young cousin Valentinian, aged just 4 but with the titles of Caesar and Consul.

Victoire If Johannes is killed before the end of 427, the Roman player wins, otherwise the Barbarian player wins.

Scenario 7 : The reign of Zeno (474-490) As the West sank into its long agony, the East passed to the control of a new Emperor: Zeno. This Isaurian general, after a difficult start, gave the eastern Empire a new zest.

The Franci Orientalis are allied with the Franci Salii For Glycérius to win the civil war, Julius Nepos must be killed in combat or assassinated, the occupation of Ravenna or Rome is insufficient.

If Zenon is killed, the immediately receives the stratagem Latrones Isaurici

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scenario 8 : The last emperors, from Anthemius to Romulus (467-475) The last years of the Western empire saw the succession of a series of emperors who, contrary to popular opinion, were not all puppets of barbarian generals. Some were competent statesmen and warriors but they took power in conditions that doomed their efforts to failure. The eastern general Anthemius, descendant of Constantine the Great, great grand nephew of Julian, and son of Emperor Marcian might have been successful had he not faced the enmity of Ricimer. The scenario lasts 16 turns. It starts with Phase A of 467 and ends at the end of 475. The automatically has initiative in 467.
