Rebuild the Roman Empire in city-builder Nova Roma

pcgamesn.com:

Nova Roma is an upcoming city-building game in which you will take the reins of a decaying Roman Empire so as to bring it back to its former glory. You will need to juggle complex features unique to Lion Shield’s new game, from supply chains to terrain manipulation. Nova Roma brings brand-new elements to the strategy table as it requires you to focus on all sorts of specific work relevant to the city’s survival and the Roman Empire thriving. As a fan of history and management sims myself, this is definitely one I’ll be keeping my eye on.

Lion Shield, an indie development team (made up of two best friends, seriously how wholesome can it get?) known for the best-selling city-builder Kingdoms and Castles, is heading the project in hopes of delivering yet another strategy banger (for me to obsess over). Get ready to face all sorts of troubles within your empire, from unavoidable floods caused by relentless heavy rains to unhappy citizens looking to overthrow your reign. The game comes with a little bit of everything from city-building games and then some. Kingdoms and Castles sold over a million copies on Steam within its first year, so I have no doubts about Lion Shield’s capability within the genre.

Some of the new key features Nova Roma is bringing with it include an innovative new running water mechanic that incorporates manipulation via infrastructure, expansive supply chains leading into resource-rich areas, city management through things like edicts, and a population with a wide range of needs from food to coliseum games. Yep, you can build coliseums and host some not-so-family-friendly gladiator events within them.
