This is a huge task, and if you lose sight of your objectives for a few seconds you will be cast down from the seat of power. During the course of the game you will move from helping small farming provinces to eventually controlling huge cities. Do enough for his enemies, and you might end up helping to stab him in the back. Do enough good for one person, and Gaius Julius Caeser might come out on your side. There is a lot to do on each map, and you can be overwhelmed if you are not planning five steps ahead at all times.Īs you progress, you gain and lose favor with historical figures. You must house and feed the citizens, give them work, earn money, entertain the mob, and put down various uprisings and revolts. Your task is not just to create a perfect society in several provinces, but to help advance certain goals and subplots as well.
There are many needs that will be put upon your shoulders in addition to running your cities. Once you choose your family, pick a name, and decide whether you will be a governor or governess, you are introduced to your patron. Some will be better suited to controlling armies, while others know how to get the most out of citizens and slaves. There are five families that you can choose to be a part of, each with varying strengths and weaknesses. To begin Grand Ages: Rome, you must choose your heritage.
There’s really only one question that must ultimately be answered: Are you not entertained? Allow them to starve, and you can play the fiddle while empires burn. Feed the people bread and circuses, and theywill love you. Your will decides if the people of the Republic will stand astride the world, or if plague and the barbarian hordes will extinguish the light of wisdom.
Rome: Ccadle of civilization! Rome: heart of the largest empire the ancient world has ever seen! Rome: shining beacon of order and justice amidst the barbarian hordes! Rome: yours now to command! Grand Ages: Rome puts you in the role of a regional governor during Rome’s rise to power.
