About the Game

The city builder strategy game Imperium Romanum is set in the time-honoured Roman Empire. As governor of a Roman province, you will devise a strategy to build a well organised, prosperous and commanding settlement. Its fortune very much lies in your own hands.

Imperium Romanum features incredible attention to detail and is packed with a variety of new, gameplay-enhancing features, such as a complete overhaul of the graphic engine and many of authentic historical buildings like the world-famous Circus Maximus or Gladiator schools.

The Emperor Expansion pack takes you on a journey through ancient history, from cold Britannia and the wild forests of Germania to the fertile Nile Delta of Cleopatra's Egypt.
19 challenging, new scenarios featuring historic places such as Aquae Sulis (Bath), Hadrian's Wall, Massilia or Treverorum will require all your comprehensive economic and strategic leadership abilities to succeed.
