”The free Bannermen DLC for Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar adds four new and fully-animated units to the game: including the Roman Aquilifer and the Gallic Hornblower. These will be automatically added to your AI units upon download and will be placed in proportion to the ranks and upgrades of your associated officers - as well as making your veteran units look more distinctive and impressive on the battlefield.”
The Bannermen Pack is available to view through Steam and is entirely free.
