Imperator: Rome

It received generally positive reviews from critics, however development and support for the game was suspended by May 2021, though occasional patches are still released. The timeline of the game spans from AUC 450 (304 BCE) to AUC 727 (27 BCE) and includes the period of the Wars of the Diadochi and the establishment of the Roman Empire; the map spans from the Iberian Peninsula to India. The player takes control over a nation on the map, that occupies manageable provinces and cities. Each province is assigned different religion and culture with their own unique bonuses, appearances and dialectal diversity. The player also has control over three main resources: gold, manpower and political influence, as well as minor resources - trade goods - like various foods, materials and items, engaged in trade. Each character, presented in the game, also has three unique stats: Martial, Finesse, Charisma and Zeal, all representing their effectiveness in a certain field. The game was developed by Paradox Development Studio and directed by Johan Andersson. Formally unveiled in May 2018, the game was released on 25 April 2019 for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
