- Highly detailed map that includes hundreds of towns, some of which have fortresses or ports that indicate their strategic importance.
- Manage all the citizens, freemen, slaves and tribal populations to ensure they bring benefits to the empire.
- A flexible trade system allows surplus goods from far across the sea to be exchanged to satisfy the population or build bigger armies.
- Different cultures will develop their armies in varying ways. Persians will go for horse archers while Romans will plump for their heavy infantry.
- Choose battle tactics to suit the army and the terrain.
- Guide hundreds of characters through three centuries of history and watch families rise and fall.
- Dynamic events, barbarian migrations, inventions, religious ideas and much, much more.
