Cling to the masts and pray to the winds! The Italian Pirates fast approach!
Salve, Romans! A new challenger approaches from the West Coast. Pirates have been spotted aboard their ships and their sights are set on our Mainland!
Italian Pirates have been launching invasions to attack Roman settlements across all active worlds. Not even the Barbarians are safe as the Pirates can invade Towns and Strongholds, rebuilding any huts they come across and claiming them for themselves.
Pirate Invasions include new enemy units for your armies to face, as well as brand new fort layouts defended by Pirates that you and your fellow Romans will need to conquer!
Italian Pirates will go live soon on April 17th at 3pm UTC, so prepare for the berserk ferocity of a world where only the strongest and most cunning beasts of the sea shall rise!
