Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to recreate the atmosphere of Ancient Rome as authentically and engagingly as possible. Early Access is an essential tool for us to refine the complex NPC simulation and camp management mechanics. By involving the community early on, we can implement player ideas, fine-tune the historical balance, and expand the Roman world based on what players find most compelling.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate the game will remain in Early Access for approximately 12 to 18 months. However, this is a rough estimate and may change depending on the feedback we receive from the community and the time needed to ensure the AI behavior and management mechanics meet our quality standards.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We aim for the full version to offer a more expansive simulation. Our plans include adding new building types, enhancing NPC interactions, and introducing more random events. We intend to refine the balance and visual polish throughout Early Access, with the final scope being heavily influenced by community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is a fully functional management simulation. All core systems described on the store page — including base construction, NPC need management, and combat sequences — are implemented and playable. Players can already experience the full loop of managing their Roman camp and overseeing the daily lives of its inhabitants.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We might increase the price during the Early Access period as additional content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community is at the heart of our development. We actively monitor our Discord and Steam forums to gather feedback on everything from gameplay balance to technical improvements. Whether it’s a bug report or a suggestion for a new Roman feature, we want to hear it. Your feedback will directly influence the evolution of the game.”

About This Game

You have a legion, a handful of slaves, and orders from an Emperor who does not forgive weakness. There is nothing around you but forest and people who want you dead. Build something here, and make it last.

Tents rise in straight Roman rows. Smoke climbs from the forges. Recruits sweat on the drill field, slaves haul stone, and the off-duty men stagger out of the taberna at dusk. A town takes root outside your walls. Stop for a moment, zoom out and look at it: all of this was forest when you came.

Everyone in your camp has a name, a mood, and a grudge. Follow any one of them through the day, and you will start to care, and that is when the camp gets hard.

Your best veteran kills a comrade. Do you crucify him in front of the men who would die for him?

Food runs short, and the stores begin to vanish. Who do you blame?

The soldier who ran from the last battle is back in the ranks. Someone in the barracks is whispering against you. And tonight, torches are moving at the edge of the forest.

No two camps go the same way. The stories you end up telling will be your own.

For a long time, the world beyond your walls is a place you send patrols and pray they come back. Then one morning the trumpet sounds. Your camp has grown strong enough to feed a war, and everything you built was for this.

Before you lies all of Gaul, a land of tribes that trade, feud, and remember what you did to their neighbors. Make them friends of Rome or put them to the torch, and take the land one settlement at a time.

Every man you lead out is someone you raised in that camp. Every one who doesn’t come back leaves an empty bed.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Players can manage various historical leisure buildings to maintain unit morale. While these mechanics reference the social life of the era, all intimate scenes are strictly off-screen or visually obscured in the base game.
