Survival Through Strategy
The empire is dying. You have seized the throne. Keep the legions, clergy, Senate and rival patrons from tearing what remains apart.

Advanced Economy
Balance taxes, trade, production and supply across an empire where every province depends on the next. Keep goods moving and your armies fed as the economy shifts around you.
Expansive Living World
