Build a better Rome. As a provincial governor charged with spreading the glory of Rome your mission is clear: build cities, foster trade and industry, make money. How you accomplish this is entirely up to you. Gain wealth and power, make a career out of pleasing the emperor, battle Barbarians and repel invaders or concentrate on building the next Eternal City. Fail and you'll end up as lunch for the lions. Prove your strength of mind and spirit and you just may be crowned Caesar.
* Build, rule and defend on one screen - no more switching between city, province and battle screens.
* Use the City Construction Kit to build the perfect city, or climb the ladder of Roman politics with a career.
* Now your citizens can give you a glimpse into the life of the common man - talk to them for clues about how to improve your city.
* Appease 5 gods with temples and festivals. Each god has its own sphere of influence: Please Ceres, and your crops will thrive! But dishonor Neptune, and watch your trade ships sink into the sea...
* Various new structures and challenges arise throughout your Governor's career, for tremendous depth of play and replayability.
* A truly intuitive, helpful interface lets you jump right in and start building.
* How Do You Build a Better Rome? Listen to Your People.
