Imperator: Rome description
Imperator: Rome is a grand strategy game about building an empire in the classical era. Its setting spans the centuries from Alexander’s Successor Empires in the East to the foundation of the Roman Empire, with the player seeking to shape the course of history around the ancient Mediterranean.
The ancient Mediterranean is presented as a region of competing nations whose political and cultural legacies shaped later Western Civilization. The game also asks players to manage their population, watch for treachery and maintain faith with their gods.
Gameplay and features
- Population and characters: Citizens, freemen, tribesmen and slaves each have a culture and religion, and their happiness matters to the success of the realm. Characters with changing skills and traits can lead the nation, govern provinces, and command armies and fleets.
- Culturally distinct warfare: Choose an approach before battle to counter an opponent’s stratagems. Warfare options differ by culture, with Romans and Celts having different choices, and cultures can unlock distinct bonuses, abilities and units.
- Government and political control: Political responsibilities vary by government: manage the senate in a republic, maintain the court in a monarchy, or answer to clans in a tribal system. Governors or generals who become disloyal can turn against you and take their armies with them.
- Provincial resources and development: Goods grant bonuses to their home province. Use stockpiles for local strength or trade excess goods elsewhere, and invest in buildings, roads and defences to strengthen and enrich the realm.
