I. INTRODUCTION =============== Congratulations, Citizen! Caesar has called upon you to enter in service to Rome . The Emperor is eager to expand his settlements and is seeking qualified executor s who can implement his will. The Roman Empire is so vast and growing so rapidly t hat even our divine Caesar cannot hope to rule it alone. He needs capable provincial governors, and that is where you come in. Your goal is to build a thriving Roman City- a bastion of culture and commerce reflecting the glory of Rome itself. As you begin your career, the lands you administer will be small, but Caesar rewards success with promotions and more challenging assignments. At every level of your career, you select that path you want to follow. Your choices vary from a peaceful route (economic missions) or a more dangerous route (military missions). As long as you continue to meet Caesar s ever escalating expectations, your fame shall increase. Triumph and you will become Rome s next Emperor. In the meantime, take care not to fall from Caesar s favor, lest your wreath of laurels be replaced by a gladiator s helm, or worse. Wisely command your city s security and prosperity and your fortune is assured.

A high end video card and CPU will usually result in considerable frame rate improvements, while installing more RAM will result in shorter load times and less hitching during game play. VII.
