Greetings, Warriors!
“ONUS! Rome vs Carthage” brought the epic battles of the Punic Wars to your tabletop. The series expands with a new standalone installment and 6 factions to take you back to the greatest splendour of the Empire, the 1st and 2nd centuries AD and the battles that made Trajan legendary.
We have reviewed the rulebook, added feedback from the community, adapted the units to the historical period and developed new scenarios and campaigns.
Fight epic battles in this miniature game without miniatures, but with cards and great historical realism. ROMAN empire and 6 factions!- The Roman legions, unbeatable and their indispensable auxiliaries.
- Celts with chariots, Pictish warriors and agile Briton horsemen.
- Dacians from north of the Danube who invoke Zalmoxis as they rush into battle with their fearsome falx dacica.
- The Germans, constant threat to the empire, hunters, mounted pikemen caninefates, harassers with framea and brutal sworn nobles.
- Parthians, lords of the East and their countless hordes, with iron-armored cataphracts, elephants, and archers.
- Sarmatians and Bastarnae, masters of the steppes, with their brave nobles, cataphracts, mounted archers and horsemen armed with the contus sarmaticus.
- Onus! Traianus also includes mercenaries: Nabataeans, Jewish rebels, Berserkir, Palmyrene, Batavi warriors, Gaesatai, and many more, which will support the side that pays them the most.
We have also redesigned Onus! to include all its expansions in a single box, with the new edition of the rulebook and solitaire mode.
Coming soon on Kickstarter, with the Ides of March, sign up here to receive the notification.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracoideas/onus-traianus
Thanks!
See you soon!
These days we have been sharing on our social media a countdown showing different units of ONUS! Traianus, which starts its crowdfunding campaign on March 15th.
We want to compile these units, as well as the messages with which we have been presenting them, in this post, starting with the legendary Scáthach:
Chariots: May the hand of our ancestors hold firm the reins of our chariots as we fight the enemy…
Britannia’s noblemen: It is time for weapons to speak. Celtic swordsmen, charge!
Celtic Swordmen: Raise your voices, rally your followers, we are going to war!
Armed Peasants: The land on which we were born and which you cultivate will be stained red today with the blood of our enemies.
Briton Readers: Hold your spear tightly, horsemen, it will soon be slippery with Roman blood.More news soon!
The countdown continues for the crowdfunding campaign on March 15 of ONUS! Traianus and we continue showing some of its units.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracoideas/onus-traianus/Today we bring you a sample of the Dacian units, commanded by Decebalus:
You know your enemies better than anyone else. You know what they will do to you if they capture you. Let’s fight!
On this day, once again, you will lead your people to victory. You are the example to follow and the best of every Dacia house. Go get them!
Dacia will remain free and you are her shield and her sword. For Dacia!
Warriors! Let us remind the Romans why they fear our Falx. Today we will sleep to the echo of their cries.
We will be like the lightning that strikes where no one expects. The spear that cleaves the Roman shield and scatters the legions. For Dacia!
See you soon!
We have created this 3D image for the Kickstarter campaign, simulating a small battle with ONUS! Traianus.
What do you think?
The launch date on Kickstarter of the crowdfunding campaign for ONUS! Traianus is getting closer: it will be March 15th.
Meanwhile, we continue to show the units, in this case of the Germans in our countdown, led by Masios.
“Leave the land of our ancestors, Roman, or face Masios and fear his wrath!”
Greetings!
There is only 1 week left to start the campaign on Kickstarter.
I count on you to enter the first day to help us have visibility among so many active projects.
We will give away a dice tower as an early bird, which we have designed and it looks fantastic 🙂https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracoideas/onus-traianus
As the launch of ONUS! Trainaus on Kickstarter gets closer, we review some part-units, led by Osroes I:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracoideas/onus-traianus/Parthians, the Romans have proved that they are weak so far from their mothers. Let us return their corpses to their widows!
Crush the Romans, we will tear holes in their ranks and bring fear into their hearts.
The Roman formation will open up like wheat before the reaper when we reach their ranks. Cathaphracts, get ready, let’s go to battle!
May the gods guide your arrows, may your camels lead you to their rear. March!
Your skill with the bow is well known, the speed of your horses will be the terror of the Romans.
Spearmen, today your name will be remembered by the widows of the Romans who dare to defy you.
See you soon!
On Tuesday 15-3 we launched the campaign on Kickstarter and got funded in 20 minutes. We are impressed with the result, 700 backers in the first 24 hours! Goals are being unlocked one after another, fourteen at the moment and there is still 1 more day to get the dice tower that we give away to backers as Early Bird.
Moreover, we have planned to give two giveaways every week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, to all backers.
We need your arm to wield the shield that completes the wall and your voice to help us share the project.

It’s August, but we’re still making progress on ONUS!

There’s still time to get a Late Pledge.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracoideas/onus-traianus/posts/3585070
Going like clockwork!
The main news on this update is that we remain on schedule and manufacturing is going ahead at a good pace.
We have received the quality sample, it is a box with all the final components, but blank. It is one of the steps in the manufacturing process, in order to validate them to the factory.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracoideas/onus-traianus/posts/3614005
Generals!
We open ONUS!, which we will be receiving in January.
We are now in the final stage of the project and, although everything has been on schedule, the manufacturing has been very complex and we have had to make several improvements, so it has been delayed. We expect to receive the games by the end of January and we will start shipping then.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracoideas/onus-traianus/posts/3673643
This is one of our favorite parts of the campaigns: The game arrived in our warehouses last Friday and has already started shipping to your homes.
There is only one moment we like the most, when we see your photos of the games deployed!

And we talk about fires, limited visibility, palisades and more additional rules of the expansion in today’s update:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracoideas/under-the-eagle/posts/3914603
Only a few months earlier Lucius Cornelius Macro had been an optio
His former comrades in the ranks were still inclined to treat him as an equal
It was hard to register a respectful attitude to one who so recently had been seen emptying his guts of a skinful of cheap wine

Hello!
All Stretch Goals have now been unlocked, including the Cato card without armor.
Our favorite Optio will participate in some of the scenarios without being equipped for battle, but will always be a good asset to any unit.
He had to look up to examine the lad who was nearly a foot taller man himself. Under the brim of the travelling cloak, a mop of black hair had been flattened into straggling trails by the rain. Below a flat brow, a pair of piercing brown eyes in deep sockets glinted either side of a long thin nose. The boy’s mouth was clamped shut, but the bottom lip trembled slightly. Although the clothes were soaked and splattered with mud from the long journey from the depot at Aventicum, they were of a surprisingly good quality. As for the writing set, the books and this letter for the legate… Well, this recruit was something else. Clearly no stranger to money but, if so, then why the hell join the army?
‘Cato, wasn’t it?’
‘Yes.’
‘I’m also called sir.’ Macro smiled.
On Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracoideas/under-the-eagle/We would like to give a few notes on the scenarios included in the expansion, as they have all been unlocked!
