For centuries, Carthage ruled the waves and coasts of the Mediterranean. Her trade ships enriched her harbors while her colonies were defended by the fiercest mercenaries that gold could buy. The sudden appearance of Rome, however, threatens its mercantile dominance. Will you be able to defend your empire's outpost on Sicily from these marauding Romans? Surely, this enemy is nothing compared to the might of Carthage.
—In-game campaign description

The First Punic War (named First Punic War before the Definitive Edition) is a campaign from the Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome trial version. The player controls the Carthaginians as they try to defeat the Romans.

The campaign was officially brought to Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Return of Rome in update 93001. However, its overall design is based on the original demo version of the campaign.

Scenarios[]

  1. Struggle for Sicily (The Battle of Agrigentum in the Definitive Edition)
  2. Battle of Mylae (The Battle of Mylae in the Definitive Edition)
  3. Battle of Tunis (The Battle of Tunis in the Definitive Edition, Battle of Tunes in the original demo)

Trivia[]

  • While in all other official campaigns and scenarios the real historical outcomes are described (according to the state of the research of the late 90s), the historical outcomes are partially fictional in this campaign. This is probably because the narrative structure focused on limited skirmishes without mentioning the overall outcome of the conflict (the Battle of Mylae was a decisive loss for the Carthaginians, however).
