Description

Twenty years after the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii rises from the ashes. As the head of a Roman family, you will guide the city's rebirth, shaping its future through politics, trade, and the challenges of life in the Empire.

 

 

The city may have been destroyed, but its spirit endures. Rebuild Pompeii from the ground up, balancing the needs of patricians, plebeians, and slaves, each with their own ambitions and grudges. Every street, forum, market, and aqueduct shapes not just the city, but the fortunes of your family for centuries to come.

 

 

 

Lead across decades, navigating the shifting tides of Roman politics. Shape laws, negotiate trade rights, and form alliances through marriage or contract. Secure favor with emperors, outwit rivals, and expand your family's influence far beyond Pompeii's walls.

 

 

 

Construct housing, temples, arenas, and more to meet your citizens' needs. Establish trade routes across the Empire, monitor shifting markets, and keep your economy strong. Every decision, good or bad, can echo for generations.

 

 

 

The game incorporates active and passive bonuses through Family Bonuses, Research and Development, and Imperial Privileges. There are two main research branches: Technology and Philosophy.

 

 

 

 

The greatest threats are not always on the battlefield. Earthquakes, fires, famine, plagues, and political sabotage can strike without warning. Some enemies will wear armor, others will smile as they shake your hand, all will test your leadership.

First!

I haven't managed to play the game yet, but I am sure it is great because it requires minimum 16 GB of RAM (32GB RAM recommended). (A few moments later) And now I have even played it a bit. Runs on Intel HD laptop but is sluggish there, smooth on mobile RTX 3080. Seems to run ok also on Linux/Wine, played also on Windows 11. Then again super smooth graphics are not necessarily a must in a relaxed strategy game like this. The game introduces you to the gameplay bit by bit, which is exactly what I prefer. No tutorial needed. So far no apparent bugs or glitches.
