this intro alone defines the entire story of Barbarian Invasion, whether your on the barbarian side or the Roman side. If you are on the roman, this intro sets the scene of the apocalypse, behind the horde of horseman, a mighty city lays aflame, pillaged and plundered for all its wealth. As the night draws the army marches forward, with scenes of chaos and destruction, massacres and slaughter leading way to inevitable death and despair as nothing seems capable of stopping them. Then the garrison with probably the strongest of rome's army standing in its way. As the defenders brace themselves they turn to faith to give them strength in dire times. They use their mighty engines of war, man their walls, fire into the masses but it seems futile as similiar engines of war respond. You can see the romans are using Eagle Standard units, the finest of the legions, and back in the rise of rome those units were all but unstoppable. Yet this is not the age of rome's finest as the horde overuns, barrels into their lines, tears down their walls and pour into the city, leaving the defenders to feebly attempt a defense. Yet nothing stops the horde, they are too many, too powerful, and now they are inside your walls. For barbarians its the scene of a weakened foe, that was once thought unbeatable, thought unconquerable, with the wealth of the world and all the comforts it provided. They have rich resources and great territories, now within arm's reach. All one barbarian lord looking to carve a new domain for himself need is simply reach out and plunder what he wishes, an enemy weakened by internal strife, weakened by so many borders under assault, weakened by political suicide as leaders squander the wealth and power that their empire afforded them... It is a target, too ripe to ignore... No longer is Rome the technological envy of the world, the rest of the world has caught up while the roman's have weakened and declined, the sides are even, the mighty walls are no longer enough border, the rivers no longer a protective barrier, and the territories that rome has are no longer safe from outside...

@@boejidenthepotato8930 its more of a symbolic/figurative, in ancient times rivers were often used as the primary borders for any territory, as the only way to cross most major rivers was by boat and bridge, and the romans often controlled them. so the 'rivers no longer a protective barrier' means they no longer acted as the 'invisible wall' that kept enemies at bay as now the enemies of rome can cross them 'at will' and 'unhindered'

The empire deserved to die. It needed to die. Remember -- the Romans wrote the history books. Modern archaeology and historical research give a different picture. The truth is, their empire was stagnant, it held Europe back. The empire was rotten to its core and unsalvagable, anyway.
