About...
Visiting northern Britain in 122 AD, the Roman Emperor Hadrian Augustus witnessed the aftermath of the war between his armies and the savage Picts. In a show of Roman might, he ordered the construction of a wall that would separate the Pictish tribes from the rest of England. Grand in its design, the wall stretched from sea to sea. Hadrian's Wall remained in service to the Roman Empire for nearly 300 years. Today, Hadrian's Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the remains of the forts, towers and turrets can still be visited.
Players take on the role of a Roman general tasked with building a castellum militiarium and a boundary wall. Over the course of six years (game turns), players will build their fort and wall, maintain defenses, and attract civilians by building services and providing entertainment - all while defending the honor of the Roman Empire against the warring Picts. The player who can accumulate the most fame, piety, bravery, and discipline, while avoiding disdain, will prove to the Emperor that they are the model Roman citizen and be crowned Legatus Legionis!
