Overview
About this game
After the death of Commodus in 192 AD, the Roman Empire fractures into rival provinces. As a governor, lead a province of your choice and restore the empire through statecraft, diplomacy, and conquest.
Real History, With Your Own Story
- Provinces and map tiles are based on real Roman regions and historical geography
- Major events draw from real history: endure the chaos of the Year of the Five Emperors, reshape your province during the Tetrarchy, and shape the faith through the Edict of Milan and the Edict of Thessalonica
- History sets the stage, but your decisions determine the outcome
Rule Wisely, Expand Strategically
- Strengthen your administration, grow your economy, and raise a capable army
- Research impactful technologies that unlock new buildings, policies, and strategic options
- Forge alliances and defense pacts, subdue rivals into client states, or undermine enemies through covert actions
- Pursue restoration your way with a curated mission system that guides, but never railroads, your run
Focus on Strategy, Not Clicks
- Make high-level decisions while tedious micromanagement is abstracted away
- No unit shuffling or manual battles - wars are resolved through preparation, planning, and a bit of fortune
Build A Long-Lasting Legacy
- Rome is not restored in a single run: each run earns Legacy based on your progress towards restoration
- Legacy makes future runs faster and stronger, allowing you to push further each time
Minimalist Look, Maximum Depth
- Clean, minimalist visuals run smoothly on a wide range of hardware - whether you have a potato PC or a beefy build
- Hardware resources saved on graphics are invested directly into the game’s strategic depth and replayability
