Citadelum is a Roman-themed city builder set during the early days of the Roman Empire, specifically under the reign of Augustus, following the assassination of Julius Caesar. Developed by Abylight Studios, the game asks players to construct and manage new settlements throughout the Roman Empire to support the Emperor’s military campaigns.
Key Features:
Story and Sandbox Modes: Play through story-driven missions that follow the rise of Augustus or build freely in the sandbox mode to design your own empire from scratch.
Roman Empire Setting: Set during the reign of Augustus, the game immerses players in the early Roman Empire’s grandeur, allowing them to build and manage cities to support military expansion.
Classic City Builder Mechanics: Construct work camps, farms, houses, markets, fire stations, and entertainment venues like theaters and gladiatorial games. Manage your city’s growth while keeping your citizens happy and productive.
Population Management: The population is divided into two classes – plebeians (commoners) and patricians (nobility). Plebeians perform all the labor, while patricians contribute through taxes. Balancing both classes is key to a thriving city.
Dynamic Challenges: The game features various challenges such as enemy raids, riots, and economic turmoil, requiring players to make quick decisions to keep the city functioning smoothly.
Building Unlocks: Unlock new buildings by increasing the population of both plebeians and patricians, which in turn requires more goods and services to keep settlers satisfied.
