Our take on When In Rome
Rather than centering strategy on warfare or territorial battles, the game places a retired Roman warrior in an administrative role. Its main structure follows settlement construction, farming, production, and deliveries, making post-military rebuilding the organizing premise.
What is When In Rome?
When In Rome follows Flavius, a retired and injured Roman warrior who must establish a new life after leaving military service.
The Emperor appoints him as an instructor for people building settlements and towns across expanding Roman territory. Gameplay spans 41 levels, with objectives involving assistance to local residents, management of farming areas, production of different goods, and delivery of those goods. The setting combines Flavius’s personal circumstances with the growth of the Roman Empire, while the central tasks focus on organizing settlement activity and supply movement.
