About the Game

First, the game gives you total control over the raw land. Therefore, you can build massive dams to stop floods or dig deep channels to move fresh water. Furthermore, you must grow huge farms to feed your busy citizens. As a result, setting up perfect supply chains keeps your growing town completely happy and healthy. Moreover, you must please the ancient gods by building grand temples in their honor. Thus, happy gods will bless your crops, while angry gods might strike your city with terrible lightning.

Caractéristiques principales

Deep Water Physics: Specifically, the game features highly realistic water flow. Thus, building smart aqueducts prevents awful floods from destroying your fresh crops.
City Defense: Next, you must train a strong citizen militia. Indeed, building tall guard towers protects your rich city from sudden enemy raids.
Godly Powers: Also, the Roman gods watch your every single move. Consequently, ignoring their strict demands brings massive disasters down upon your town.
Complex Supply Chains: Meanwhile, you upgrade basic farms into huge wineries and bakeries. For instance, moving raw wheat across the massive map requires smart roads and fast transport carts.
