We will visit the Central Mediterranean region in this Faction Highlight.
Italy is on fire and larger empires circle around like birds of prey, just waiting for their chance to benefit from the spoils of the war. The Central Mediterranean will be one of the places where history is made in the upcoming Imperiums: Rome vs Carthage DLC.

The Central Mediterranean has for a long time been the domain of Carthage and the Greeks. Italy has been divided among small Latin tribes, none of which managed to unite them under one leadership or usurp power over them by force. Now, it seems that the events are taking a new unexpected course, that could bring many gains to those who can navigate the situation with boldness.

The recently established Roman Republic has managed to alienate all of the other Latin tribes and it now faces a military pact of Samnites and Etruscans supported by Gauls. This alliance could attack Roman lands from many directions simultaneously, if they can only coordinate their actions and subordinate their own interests to the joint plan for a time.

These new developments are followed closely by the Epirean king Pyrrhus, as well as Carthage, both of whom have their own plans in the region. The island of Sicily and Magna Graecia, the southern part of the Italian peninsula, are contested by both sides. Success would provide a firm foothold and strong base for further expansion to the rest of the peninsula.

Standing aside from this central conflict are the Illyrian tribes on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. They are much more occupied with the wars in Greece and Macedon to become actively involved in Italy.

Italy is rich in resources and fertile lands, whoever controls the region can quickly rise to dominate the whole Mediterranean. The whole situation is waiting in suspense for a leader to set the path of victory.
