About
Forge a thriving colony of economic might in an alternate history where the Roman Empire never fell, but lived on to discover the new world and harness steam technology. As a colonial governor on the brink of an early, industrial revolution, guide your colony’s technological path, expand horizons in an uncharted land, and manage your burgeoning cities and resources within a fully simulated Roman Steampunk colony.
Expand across a vast isometric map with aqueducts, horseless chariots, and rail. With evolving technologies from another timeline, develop and enhance intricate economic chains and trade to meet the needs of a growing population. Transform your colony into a network of thriving, opulent Roman cities and bring glory to the Empire!
Immerse yourself in an alternate history where steam-powered machines, intricate mechanical devices, and lavish Roman architecture coexist, in a society where peace and order has reigned for hundreds of years.

Build and manage multiple cities while meeting the needs of different population classes. Adapt to dynamic borders and autonomous population growth in a living, breathing simulated world. Construct aqueducts for fresh water, develop rail and road networks for trade, and expand your infrastructure with purpose.

Produce and transport goods through layered production chains—fish, flour, cigars, and more—each serving specific population classes. Establish automated trade routes using steam-powered vehicles, trains, and airships. Optimize your economy through efficient planning and logistics.

Every map is unique, procedurally generated with diverse biomes—forests, beaches, rivers, mountains—and resource placements. Adapt your strategy to the terrain while navigating fresh water access, construction constraints, and optimal city placement.

Shape your colony’s destiny through a branching tech tree born from an unknown steam-fueled industrial revolution of antiquity. With every decision, unlock powerful synergies with game-changing upgrades and abilities from an unknown alternate timeline.

Choose specific goals at the start of each playthrough—completing them unlocks powerful perks for future games. These perks reshape how you play, opening up new strategies and synergies. Discover the right combinations to tackle fresh challenges and unlock them all!

Time progresses through a 13-month calendar featuring the Roman-invented "Constinius" month. Visual time tracking enhances gameplay clarity and progression.

I started playing shortly after release, after following the game’s development for more than a year. I bought it about an hour after it launched, and so far I’m very happy with it. The tutorials are genuinely good, and more importantly, they are necessary. The game may look easy to get into at first, but it is also very easy to fall flat on your face. The systems are more complex than they initially appear, and there is a real learning curve. I only wish I had more time to play. Even after just an hour, I already know where my gaming time will be going over the next few weeks. I have not had that feeling in this genre for a long time — probably not since Anno 1602, which admittedly dates me a bit. In short: I absolutely recommend it if you want a game with complex mechanics where success is earned rather than handed to you.
It's more of puzzle game than a straight city builder. The game mechanics are simple, the challenge comes from building placement, adjacencies, how to get resources where you need them, access to water and how to bridge the gap to next settlement location. Doing the challenges unlocks perks for next runs that will makes it easier to hit the harder challenges in good time. The challenges are quite challenging you need to figure out a good strategy to get 3 stars so there's replayability there.
It's challenging, I like the concept and gameplay design. Recommended.
This is a fun little game that's easy to pick up and learn. The tactics are straightforward, and you could probably finish a playthrough in 5–6 hours if you focused on it. I think i did 3 runs of this game My biggest criticism is the limited replayability. I wish there were more incentives in the late game to keep building and expanding an empire beyond the 15-year goals, which are enjoyable to work toward. That said, the game will definitely keep you entertained for a few runs. Overall, it's a solid experience, and I hope the developers continue updating and expanding it.
This is a very intriguing. It does appear to get harder as you get bigger. Transporting goods to each city can be challenging. It is all a good challenge and would recommend this game to others.
