The Battle of the Frigidus

The Battle of the Frigidus is the first scenario of the reworked Alaric campaign in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. It is based on the namesake battle between the Western and Eastern Roman Empires in September 5-6, 394 A.D.

Intro
''Each night I have the same two visions. One of a field of wheat stalks swaying in the wind...''

...another of bright burning flames, trampling horse hooves, and loud screams.

My people, the Visigoths, came to Roman lands not as an invading army, but as a people running from a scourge... No! A plague sent by God himself!

''We warned the Romans of the impending danger, but they ignored us. They despised and distrusted our kind. They treated us poorly, gave us barren lands, and when we suffered famine they made us sell our children for food. Inevitably, we went to war, and our great army struck a decisive blow to the Romans at Hadrianople. We slew their emperor and forced them to allow our people to settle in Roman lands.''

''Our victory taught the Romans to not underestimate Gothic warriors. In exchange for the land they gave us, our young men would serve in the Roman armies, fighting alongside our former enemies. As wars broke out between the eastern and western halves of the empire, we gathered our spears and served Rome in battle.''
