Vercing

Vercing is the leader of the Gallic Tribes and the 2nd General unlocked after level 5 of the Roman campaign. He is the arch enemy of Caesar and the main protagonist of the Gaul Campaign. He relies mostly on brute strength and is very limited in spells.

Appearance[]

He rides into battle on a Giant Wolf strapped in leather and blue cloth wielding a studded metal hammer and bronze shield. His armor is simple and crude with more bronze extenuating the dark of his hair and the blue of his cloak with a winged helm of bronze and a deep shadow covering his face. His mustache is braided with beads.

Strategy[]

One will find the number of his units are more limited but typically deal greater damage, move faster and endure more attacks. His quality is far greater then quantity which also includes higher prices. It's imperative that placement of units is considered more in depth as well as the economy to support it. Spells are not offensive but rather defensive granting that limited survivability to his units and their ranged counters. If all allies are kept alive and healthy, crushing your foe is a far easier task.

Stats[]

Offense - 7/10 Far Better then average.
Defense - 4/10 Worse then average.
Spells - 3/10 Far Worse average.

Vercing is a specialist, his victory demands total control and advantage. High attack to dispose of his enemies is a must before they can whittle down the health of his units.

In Game[]

For the cost of 200 gold, the player may deploy Vercing as a unit. As a unit his movement speed is among the highest in the game and deals between 19-28 damage per swing at a rate of a single swing per second, attacking a single target within range indicated by a red glow as you select Vercing. Being a general unit, he retreats after about 15 seconds after purchase and returns to base. His stats may be altered however should a player decide to buy either the shield icon for 350 gold or the blade icon for 450. The shield option halves all damage taken while the blade option doubles his initial swing damage. After being placed, the player must wait 30 seconds before he can be selected again.

Vercing's health is tied directly to the base, any damage taken by him is applied to the base for 3x the attack's value.

Trivia[]

He was based on a real person, Vercingetorix, just like how Caesar was based on Julius Caesar, However, one large change the game had made contrary to real history, was who attacked who. In the game, Vercing attacked Caesar, and Gaul attempted to invade Rome. However, in real history, this is not the case and it is completely switched. With Rome invading Gaul, and Caesar ruthlessly slaughtering Vercing's army and Vercingerotix himself in his unquenchable thirst for power.
