Against Rome treats you with many different game types which are described in brief below.

Learn scenarios
A total of 4 learn scenarios, which build on one another progressively, teach you the most important rules of game play and the controls in Against Rome.

The campaign
The Against Rome campaign which consists of 25 scenarios is based on the exciting story of selected Barbarian tribes at the time of the migration of nations. Within the framework of the story you can decide at certain points, which nation you would like to play next so that you can create YOUR OWN personal version of the dramatic events surrounding the fall of Rome.
You can thereby return to a campaign scenario, which has already been played at any time in order to play it through again. You can also decide to choose the other of the two nations available for selection at one of the points mentioned above in order to find out its fate.

Historical scenarios
We have selected a total of 5 well-known historical scenarios from the time of migration of nations for you where you have the free choice of which of the two sides involved in the battle you would like to play. You thus can experience leading the legionaries of the mighty Roman Empire.

The endless game
You take on the role of a Barbarian chieftain in the endless game, who wants to establish a new homeland for his tribe after a long and dangerous journey. It's your job to found a settlement and extend it, whereby you will have to repeatedly defend yourself against other Barbarian tribes.
5 different landscape types are available in the endless game – and you can of course select your tribe together with its tribal symbol yourself.

Multi-player scenarios
You can play the multi-player scenarios with up to 8 players via IP-direct connection and GameSpy Arcade on the Internet as well as in a network/LAN.

A total of 3 scenario types are available in the multi-player mode:

	Scenario type 1: Foundation This game variation is very similar to the endless game available in the single player mode. Each player founds his own settlement and tries to increase his tribe as quickly as possible whereby each player must compete against the others.
	Scenario type 2: Death Match In this game variation each player already has a completely built settlement and a wide range of battle units. The aim of this game is victory over all other players.
	Scenario type 3: Historical The same battles as the scenarios available in the single player modus can be replayed here – for between 2 to 8 players.
