The game is about economic development and warfare. The game will include multiple units and buildings specific to each civilisation as well as both land and naval units.

The Romans were notable for their regimented military, powerful siege engines, broad range of naval vessels, politics, and adaptation to change.

The Romans controlled the largest empire of the ancient world. Rising from a group of villages to controlling an empire stretching from southern Scotland to the Sahara Desert, Rome remained one of the strongest nations on earth for almost 800 years, controlling over 60 million inhabitants, one quarter of the Earth’s population at that time.

Republican Romans.

Rome evolved from a republic in Latium to a great conquering imperial powerhouse, sweeping across Europe, the western shores of the Mediterranean and North Africa.

The Roman Empire.


The imperial period of Rome lasted approximately 1,500 years compared to the 500 years of the Republican era.

The first two centuries of the empire's existence were a period of unprecedented political stability and prosperity known as the Pax Romana, or "Roman Peace". Following Octavian's victory, the size of the empire was dramatically increased.
The Roman Empire in AD 117, at its greatest extent at the time of Trajan's death (with its vassals in pink).

After the assassination of Caligula in AD 41, the Senate briefly considered restoring the republic, but the Praetorian Guard proclaimed Claudius emperor instead.

Under Claudius, the empire invaded Britannia, its first major expansion since Augustus.

After Claudius' successor, Nero, committed suicide in AD 68, the empire suffered a series of brief civil wars, as well as a concurrent major rebellion in Judea, during which four different legionary generals were proclaimed emperor.

Vespasian emerged triumphant in AD 69, establishing the Flavian dynasty, before being succeeded by his son Titus, who opened the Colosseum shortly after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

His short reign was followed by the long reign of his brother Domitian, who was eventually assassinated.

The Senate then appointed the first of the Five Good Emperors. The empire reached its greatest extent under Trajan, the second in this line.

History.

The Romans commonly used the Testudo or "tortoise" formation for defense: Legionaries were formed into hollow squares with twelve men on each side, standing so close together that their shields overlapped like fish scales.

Effect.

Roman Legionaries can form a Testudo. The Legionaries at the front, back and sides hold their shields to the outside and the Legionaries in the centre raise their shields above their heads.

This formation provides improved protection against melee and ranged attacks. However, their movement rate is much slower.

The formation button is only available for a group that consists exclusively of Roman Legionaries.
