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.
