You are Julius Caesar, the consul of Rome. You are fighting the Gauls north of
the Roman Republic to conquer the barbarian tribes that threaten your great
nation. You enter the military headquarters and see today's war briefing.
"The
Gauls have been attacking our borders for a few years now," you say. "They've
grown stronger with each passing year".
"We need to attack them before they grow
too strong," says one of your officers
> "I agree with you, Canus Caeparius. What is your plan on preventive strike?"

"Preventive strike? We're going to take out their supply lines, cut off their
food supplies, starve them into submission".
> "I insist on preventive strike. We can wipe out them with a brute force right now."


"But we don't know if they'll just regroup and fight again!"
> "We will make sure they can't regroup."


"What about the legions? How many do we have left?"
> "We have six legions right now."


"Six Legions?! That's not enough! I want ten legions! I want them all to be
ready for battle at once!"
> "Calm yourself, Canus Caeparius. We are going to fight barbarians, not noble Greek warriors. And Rome just can't spare us four more legions."

 "How do you know this? Surely you could find a way to get ten legions, or even
twenty legions. The Romans always had an endless supply of manpower".
> "I am your commander, Canus! If I say that we will crush the Gauls with ten legions, then we will crush the Gauls with ten legions."


You leave the room and go back to your own tent where you spend the rest of
the day thinking about what you should do next.The next morning you return to
the meeting hall
> "My subordinates! My brothers! Prepare legions right now. We are going to start our march to destroy the Gauls right now."


The generals look at each other and nod. They prepare their troops and march
out of the meeting hall.
You lead your army out of the city and towards the
Gauls

> send a small amount of scouts to know how many Gauls we will encounter.

You send a few scouts ahead to scout the terrain and the enemy's defenses. You
also order some of your men to stay behind to guard the rear of the army.
You
arrive in a valley and see a large group of Gauls
> check if they discovered your army now.

You order your soldiers to attack immediately. Your first volley hits the
Gauls, killing most of them instantly. Some of them try to run away but you
easily kill them as well.
You watch as the second volley hits the Gauls, killing
them all
> watch at the massacre of barbarians with pleasure.

You enjoy watching the carnage of the barbarians. You feel like you've won a
glorious victory over the barbarians. You continue to enjoy it until one of your
officers comes up to you
> listen to him.

Your officer says
>
 "Sir, we've killed almost all of the barbarians. There are still a few hiding
around the hills, but we've wiped them out too. Our mission was successful".


You say "Good, good, we need to keep pushing forward. We mustn't stop until
we've destroyed the last of these savages!".
Afterwards you return to your camp
and celebrate your victory
> continue your victorious march next day.

You continue marching on the next day. Soon you reach a hill and see a huge
horde of barbarians. They seem to be led by a giant who has a spear tipped with
iron. He looks very angry.
You order your men to fire upon him
> watch as your professional soldiers release a burst of flaming arrows at him.

You watch as your legions fire a barrage of arrows at the giant. It seems to
work, as he falls dead from his wound. You watch as the remaining barbarians
flee into the hills
> order your cavalry to pursue them and kill them.

You order your cavalry to follow the fleeing barbarians and kill them. They
obey without question.
You ride through the hills and forests after the fleeing
barbarians. You soon catch up with them. You order your men to fire upon them.
Many of the barbarians die instantly
> capture the survivors.

You order your men to capture the surviving barbarians alive. They comply
without hesitation. You then order your legionnaires to torture the captured
barbarians. You beat them, break their bones, stab them, burn them, and
generally treat them cruelly
> interrogate them about the whereabouts of the Gaul leader.

You interrogate the captured barbarians and learn the location of the Gaul
leader. You tell your men to hunt down and kill him. You enjoy torturing the
prisoners. After a while you decide to end the torture. You order your men to
throw the prisoners into a pit of boiling tar
> wait until your men hunt down the treacherous Gaulish warboss.

You wait until nightfall when your men come across the treacherous Gaul
warboss. You order your men to shoot him in the head. He falls into the boiling
tar pit of tar
> celebrate the victory.

You celebrate your victory by drinking heavily and indulging in sexual
pleasures
> send the messengers to set an ultimatum to the leaders of the Gaul tribes: they subdue to the Roman rule or they die.

You send the messengers to the leaders of the Gaul tribes. You inform them that
if they don't submit to the Roman rule within two days, they will suffer the
same fate as the barbaric warlord.
> wait for their response.

You wait for the reply from the leaders of the Gaul tribes. You hear nothing
from them. You wonder why. You realize that they probably didn't respond because
they're too busy hunting down the fugitive warlord. You think about what you
should do next
> You call your officers for a meeting.

You call your officers together and tell them that you have decided to make
peace with the Gauls. You explain that the war is lost and that the only
solution is to make peace. You give them a deadline of two days to meet your
terms
> "But they ignored my proposal! We need to punish them for such an insolence! But I think they dit it with intention. They are gathering united army of Gaulish clans to strike us back. What do you think?"


You hear no answer from your officers. You ask again "What do you think?"
You
hear silence. You begin to panic. You think about what to do next.
> "Do you fear these filthy barbarians, do you?"
