❤ Expand and Manage Your Empire

Players must carefully manage and expand their provinces across the sprawling campaign map. Each region offers unique resources, building options, and population characteristics that players must optimize. Balancing population allocation, infrastructure investments, and cultural development in each province is crucial to building a thriving, resilient empire.

❤ Mitigate the Risks of Decadence

One of the game's standout features is its innovative decadence system. As empires expand and age, they become susceptible to internal unrest, civil wars, and the collapse of authority. Players must constantly monitor and manage their empire's decadence levels by investing in cultural development, maintaining loyalty, and carefully pacing territorial expansion. This creates a dynamic cycle of rise and fall, challenging players to build lasting legacies.

❤ Explore Diverse Faction Mechanics

The game features a wide array of playable factions, each with their own unique mechanics, units, and historical events. From the militaristic Romans to the culturally-focused Hellenic kingdoms, each faction offers a distinct playstyle and set of strategic considerations, allowing for significant replayability.

❤ Engage in Trade and Resource Management

Trade and resource management are integral components of the gameplay. The dynamic trade system shapes the economic development of the empire, as players must carefully manage their access to critical resources, such as metals, slaves, and luxury goods, to fuel military, infrastructure, and cultural growth.

❤ Resolve Battles with Tactical Depth

While the game's focus is on grand strategy and empire management, it also offers a robust tactical battle system. Players can choose to resolve battles automatically or export them to the companion game, "Field of Glory II," for more detailed, hands-on combat resolution, tailoring their approach based on strategic context.

❤ Witness Emergent Narratives

The combination of the game's historical setting, faction-specific mechanics, and dynamic decadence system leads to the emergence of compelling narratives. Players may witness the rise and fall of great empires, the treacherous plots of ambitious rulers, and the ongoing struggles of cultural preservation versus military expansion, adding depth and immersion to the grand strategy experience.
