About the 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
