building from the first foundations

In Nova Roma, your journey starts with a modest village. The ultimate goal is to transform it into a bustling city admired by the world for millennia. To achieve this, players must tackle complex challenges in resource management and urban planning.

controlling nature and water

The game's highlight lies in its complex water and weather simulation system. A wise planner must know how to:

  • Construct massive dams and aqueducts.
  • Design basins and artificial reservoirs to regulate water supply.
  • Manage soil fertility and cope with unusual flood seasons.

Exploiting resources in remote wilderness areas requires establishing an efficient goods transportation infrastructure while balancing urban expansion with ecosystem safety.

meeting citizens' needs

The larger the population, the more diverse their needs. From essentials like bread and wine to crafted goods such as pottery and high-level entertainment. You'll watch your citizens grow into skilled artisans, gladiators, or thespians. A happy society is key to maintaining the stability of Nova Roma.

divine intervention

Players must also pay attention to faith, not just worldly issues. Building magnificent temples is not only for beautifying the city but also to appease the gods. Blessings from the divine bring prosperity, but neglecting them can provoke harsh wrath.

release information: Nova Roma officially launches on march 27, 2026. It is a must-play experience for fans of strategy and city-building games.

Will you build an empire that withstands the test of time, or fall to your own pride? The answer lies in your hands in Nova Roma.
