About the Game

Glory of Rome is a grand city builder set in the peak of the Roman Empire. Your appointment from the Senate is to create, manage and expand settlements to further the reaches of glorious Rome.

You'll take on the role of a city administrator. You'll manage resources, industries, and the needs of your citizens to create a flourishing society. With multiple types of citizens and industries, you'll have to balance each of their needs to ensure your city thrives.

Across the Roman Empire

Rome's reach is vast and so is the work required. Play across 3 campaigns with dozens of scenarios, unlocking more challenging appointments as you progress. You'll manage settlements all the way from the heart of Italy to Africa, Gaul and beyond. Each of the scenarios sends you across the land, with their own unique layout, design, resources and personality. It's up to you to tame these lands and bring glory to the Empire.

Roman Glory


In the heartland of Italy you'll take on the role of a new administrator. It's your task from the Senate to create thriving settlements, complex industries and expand the glory of the Empire via growth and development. Across 12 scenarios you'll support the needs of your Roman citizens and encourage their development to create grand cities worthy of the Empire.

The African Kingdom


Far away in the lands of Africa you'll create powerful villages and robust trading ecosystems. Taking charge of regional development, you will work with both the African locals and your Roman citizens to create unique trade goods and resources the Empire demands. This challenging appointment, set across 10 scenarios will see you test your skills, requiring you to balance the needs of the locals with that of the Senate.

Tribes of Gaul


The Gaulish lands are harsh and challenging. it's up to you as the new administrator to foster a relationship of mutual support. The Gaulish campaign will see you play across 8 scenarios, each of which will test your skills in resource generation, financial management and support of both your local and Roman citizens.

Expand, Grow, Thrive


You'll undertake multiple appointments from the Senate, each one with their own unique challenges and gameplay styles. Each mission is different, requiring you to satisfy the needs of the Senate, from creating certain structures, expanding your residential dwellings or growing your population.

As you prove your worth to the Senate, more complex paths open before you, expanding your possibilities of your city management. Complete dozens of unique scenarios across three campaigns. Demonstrate your planning and management skills to create thriving rich settlements.

Resources Management & Balance


Creating resources and balancing requirements are fundamental to the growth and development of your settlements. Each citizen, industry and business has their own needs and requirements. It's up to you as the administrator to balance these needs to ensure goods flow all across the city. You'll create a wide variety of resources from agricultural products, minerals, trade goods and everything else in-between to see your settlement flourish.

With dozens of resources across multiple cultures, you'll need to establish thriving industrial sectors to create the range of goods your people and the Senate desires. It takes a skilled administrator to balance the interconnected requirements of each settlement. It's up to you to create grand industries, thriving population centers and to provide for the needs of your people.

Original Text circa [b]Feb 2021[/b]: No save system at all. Really big problem for a city building game. Which is a shame the game is pretty fun. I refunded and will buy again and change my review to positive once you can save your progress in the game. Today [b]December 30th 2021[/b]: The developer "playboi14" has no plans to code a save game feature into his city building game. He said this in this post https://steamcommunity.com/app/1455300/discussions/0/2998800559181415078 : [quote=playboi14]Hey there I've been looking into the feasibility of introducing a save/load system and I keep running into a series of issues I can't resolve without rewriting most of the game. That being the case I've added new scenarios in the various campaigns and reduced their length so you can get through them in around 15-40 minutes. The idea was generally that these were meant to played in a single session and after each scenario the next one unlocks. You can either continue playing or next time yo...

As for early access, the game is enjoyable and playable. For now there are only missions available, with sandbox in the roadmap. The dev is actively responding to the players' suggestions and is totally open with his plans and assignments in progress. As for the game itself, it's a classic city builder in the spirit of old Sierra games like Caesar, Zeus, etc. The graphics are neat and building is very intuitive. I recommend it to any city builders fan, and hope that the dev keeps doing his good job.

City building in this game is easy if you want to just get through, but can be difficult when trying to get absolutely perfect. There is a calm and peaceful atmosphere to the game that I am becoming very fond of. I do recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable city-builder RTS.

Cute little city builder. So far (scenario 6 complete) it has been pretty casual, a little slow at times. There are some speed adjustments, but everything still seems to go by very slowly. The quests that come along definitely help with cashflow for building and add a small amount of difficulty if you aren't ready for what they throw at you. The graphics are pretty cartoonish. The mechanics are straight-forward if you play a lot of these sort of sim games. (Banished, RimWorld, etc) I dislike the one view camera. You can't rotate at all. The play areas - even in sandbox - are prohibitively small. Buildings autoface pre-built roads with no option to change the orientation. However, the pips seem to walk through the walls anyhow so I guess it doesn't matter a whole lot which way the building is facing. All the help and tips for a level come at the beginning, so if you don't pay attention you're out of luck as the mission goes on. This is a good game to just chill and dump some time into....

A great little city builder, I really like the design and buildings, reminds me of games like caesar 3 and Pharaoh that I used to play. I really enjoyed this game and cant wait to see what's added next.

While this game is an Early Access and there are some inconvenient aspects due to that, it's a fairly polished game. With the latest patch of a sandbox mode, which is my favorite, it gives you options for both a goal oriented game and a funzies game. The Developer is very hands-on and communicative with the community. In my opinion the game is more than worth the price.

Really nice small indie game! I can see a lot of work has been put in this one, and it's still in development so I expect even more! The developer publishes updates quite often so bugs aren't really a problem (some of them might even give an advantage - goodbye double money I'll miss you).

Glory of Rome is a very complete city-building game. As a player, you have to build and manage an extremely interconnected web of supply and demand of resources and citizens. On top of that, the people physically transport the resources to a business, market, storage or their homes, adding a new dynamic to it all. I’m having a lot of fun planning my Roman cities! If you’re into city-building games, you definitely want to try Glory of Rome.
