SAFETY INFORMATIONA very small percentage of people (about 1 in 4000) may experience a seizurewhen exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns thatmay appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures orepilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these photosensitiveepileptic seizures while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness, alteredvision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of con-sciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or strikingnearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of thesesymptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symp-toms. Children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience theseseizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. Take a 10 to 15 minutebreak every hour.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

27CHAPTER IV

CHAPTER IVGAME CONCEPTS

IV–I CONSTRUCTION

The building process is the main focus of the game. It is through the creation ofvarious structures that the economy of the city is developed. Each type of structurehas its own unique function: gathering resources, producing goods or providingspecific services.

In order for a building to be constructed, it requires specific resources, the exactamount and type of which are shown in the build menu's rollover text. If therequired resources are not available at the moment, they will be shown in red.

You can order the construction of a building, even if you lack the necessaryresources. If you do, the building process will start but will not continue until therequired resources become available.

III–III Challenge Mode

The Challenge Mode focuses on the competitive side of the game, allowing you tomeasure your skill with other players all over the world. In this mode, you aregiven 4 missions at random, each with a specific goal and restriction. Achievingthe mission goals as quickly as possible will increase your game score to place you

higher in the Glory of the Roman Empire online wall of fame.

At the beginning of every game, you can choose one of three bonuses that willhelp you complete your mission objective. Doing so will decrease the amount ofpoints you will receive.

29CHAPTER IV

Some structures increase the prestige of buildings in their surroundings. A green circle indicates the area of effect while placing the structure.In some cases, it is possible for structures to have two areas of effect – one forprestige and one for providing services.

IV–III DEMOLISHING AND REBUILDINGA building (or construction site) can be demolished at any time. To demolish abuilding, you need to select it and choose the demolish command from the infor-mation panel. After the demolish command is issued, a countdown will commence.If the demolish button is used again during that time, the demolition process willbe canceled. Any building that has been on fire for too long will automatically bedemolished.

When a building catches fire, the demolish command (in its information panel) will

be replaced by a rebuild command. The rebuild command does not save the build-ing, but orders the city’s slaves to automatically rebuild the structure in the verysame spot should the building be destroyed.

IV–IV UPKEEPMost buildings require certain resources (shown in the information panel) for theirupkeep. These resources are automatically taken from city reserves and deliveredto the building once every few minutes. If these resources are insufficient, thebuilding will deteriorate, increasing its chance of catching fire (such buildings aredarker than the rest).

The upkeep of a structure is shown in its information panel.

IV–V PRODUCTION AND REQUIRED MATERIALSAs long as there are people working in it, most buildings produce certain goods,which are then transported to where they are needed (or are sent to the Town Halland Warehouses). The production rate depends entirely on the status of the citizensworking in the structure.

Sometimes, in order for a product to be made, the structure requires particularresources. For example: the Butcher Shop needs Meat to make Sausages; the Bak-ery needs Flour to make Bread; and the Tailor Shop needs Linen to make Cloth.

The production and required materials of a structure are shown in its informationpanel.

When a building is selected for construction, the mouse cursor becomes an imageof that building and can be moved across the map to the position at which youwant to build it. During this process, the image can be rotated using the mousewheel or the < and > keys.

You can place a building anywhere on the map, as long as it is on level ground andnot too close to existing structures. If there is something to prevent it from beingplaced or built, the building will become covered in red.

Should you choose to cancel the construction order, you can do so at any time byright-clicking or pressing the Esc button.

IV–II AREAS OF EFFECT

Once a structure is created, it effects the surrounding area by providing goods andservices. A yellow circle, visible while placing the structure, indicates the exactarea. Any buildings within this area will benefit from the services of the new struc-ture.

Although houses do not provide goods or services of any sort, they too have aneffect area that determines what inhabitants can benefit from.

31CHAPTER IV

Villa

Inhabited by Master citizens.

IV–VII CITIZEN NEEDSEvery person in your city has needs. These needs are the driving force that fuel the economy and keep the citizens working. Satisfying these needs willensure stability as well as keep the population from rebelling.

Each citizen's needs depend on his status - the greater the status, the greater the citizen's production - the grander his House, the greater his needs. Needs consist of basic things such as food and hygiene and graduallybecome more sophisticated: visiting a Temple, going to the Theater, etc.

To satisfy the needs of your citizens, create structures that produce products theydesire and place them close to the people in need. When the building is complete,the citizens of the neighborhood will automatically go to it to satisfy their currentneeds.

LIST OF NEEDS

Novice Citizen Needs

Flour (food)

Meat (food)

Altar (structure)

Well (structure)

Apprentice Citizen Needs

Bread (food)

Sausages (food)

IV–VI CITIZEN STATUSDepending on their skill and status, there are four types of citizens: novices,apprentices, experts, and masters. The greater the status of a citizen, the more effi-cient he will be in what he is doing. An expert tailor will produce far more clothesthan an apprentice tailor will! However, a citizen's needs will change as his statusimproves. (See the List of Needs for more information).

The status of a citizen depends solely on the type of the house he inhabits. Themore prestigious the house is the greater the importance of those who inhabit it:

Magalia

Inhabited by Novice citizens.

Casa

Inhabited by Apprentice citizens.

Domus

Inhabited by Expert citizens.

33CHAPTER IV

IV–IX GAME NOTIFICATIONSGame Notifications are displayed in the upper part of the screen when importantevents occur. They provide information about threats as well as the latest develop-ments in the city.

Left-clicking on the notification icon will open the notification window providinginformation about the specific event.

If the notification icon is ignored for a certain period of time, it will disappear.

IV–X ROADS

Roads are the arteries of the city. They allow you to create the infrastructure of thecity and guide the inhabitants as they go from one place to another.

You can place roads from the Esthetics section of the Build Menu. When youchoose to create a road, the mouse cursor will change. Once that happens, you canchoose the starting point of the road by left-clicking on the terrain. From then on

IV–VIII CITY STATUREThe City's Stature reflects the prestige level of all houses. If there are a large num-ber of houses with high prestige levels (Casa, Domus, or Villa), the prestige of thecity will be high as well.

When the level increases, the Town Hall will also improve to reflect the state ofyour city.

35CHAPTER IV

For the town to have its own army, a Barracks is required. Each Barracks can traina squad of up to 24 mercenaries and a Captain to lead it. Unlike the mercenaries inWatchtowers, those in the Barracks require that their equipment be made availablein advance. Depending on the type of equipment, a military squad could be com-posed of Rookies or Veterans.

The Soldiers in a Barracks will automatically help the city's Watchtowers andcould be sent to attack independent settlements destroying them or enslaving partof their population.

IV–XII TRADEThroughout the game you are able to establish trade relations with various foreigncities and even some Barbarian settlements.

Trade is achieved through the city’s Trade Posts, which allow the exchange of vari-ous goods and resources. While trade with Rome and some friendly Barbarian set-tlements on the map is always possible, relations with other cities may occur onlyduring Campaign Mode.

IV–XIII SLAVESSlaves are the main workforce in the city. Unlike citizens they don't have profes-sions. It is their task to carry goods and resources from one place to another.

Slaves live in Warehouses, Slave Shelters or in the Town Hall. Additional slavescan be bought through the Town Hall or captured from Barbarian settlements.

A slave’s schedule depends on the amount of work in a particular neighborhood aswell as the number of slaves there are to do it. Should there be too few slaves theschedule would become unbearable and the slaves might start to riot. To avoid this,you must make sure there always are enough slaves in every neighborhood. Theslave schedule of a neighborhood is shown in the information panel of the respec-tive Warehouse (or Town Hall).

Slaves eat only basic food (flour porridge, meat or fish). Since they are part of thecity, they automatically take food from the Warehouses or the Town Hall.

simply move the mouse cursor to the desired location and click again - a road seg-ment will be placed connecting the two locations. You can add more road segmentsusing the same method. To end the road placing process, right-click anywhere onthe screen and the cursor will return to its original state.

To delete a road or any part of it choose Delete Road from the Esthetics section ofthe Build Menu. Once you do, the mouse cursor will change and a circular areawill appear under it. Left-clicking will delete any road segment in the circular area.

IV–XI MILITARYDespite the relative tranquillity the threat of roaming Barbarians and hostile localtribes still remains. To ensure that the city does not fall victim to enemy attacks,you must have a strong military presence to protect you from aggression.

The easiest way to create a capable defense force is to build a Watchtower (whichwill automatically hire armed mercenaries to serve there).
