Description

Twenty years after the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii rises from the ashes. As the head of a Roman family, you will guide the city's rebirth, shaping its future through politics, trade, and the challenges of life in the Empire.

The city may have been destroyed, but its spirit endures. Rebuild Pompeii from the ground up, balancing the needs of patricians, plebeians, and slaves, each with their own ambitions and grudges. Every street, forum, market, and aqueduct shapes not just the city, but the fortunes of your family for centuries to come.

Lead across decades, navigating the shifting tides of Roman politics. Shape laws, negotiate trade rights, and form alliances through marriage or contract. Secure favor with emperors, outwit rivals, and expand your family's influence far beyond Pompeii's walls.

Construct housing, temples, arenas, and more to meet your citizens' needs. Establish trade routes across the Empire, monitor shifting markets, and keep your economy strong. Every decision, good or bad, can echo for generations.

The game incorporates active and passive bonuses through Family Bonuses, Research and Development, and Imperial Privileges. There are two main research branches: Technology and Philosophy.

The greatest threats are not always on the battlefield. Earthquakes, fires, famine, plagues, and political sabotage can strike without warning. Some enemies will wear armor, others will smile as they shake your hand, all will test your leadership.

I have enjoyed playing this game from early release to full release. I used to love the Stronghold games but I have played them to the point of exhaustion. I have looked for a while for a game that lets you build and
I have many city building games in my collection and plenty of them that deal with ancient Rome. This is a fun, no rush city building game that is leisurely and doesn't add a lot of political balancing. Trade also seems
Pompeii: The Legacy is a Roman focused city-builder type game. Loads of different buildings, with loads of different functions to provide essential services for the city to grow. More on the relaxed-side of
Firstly I should acknowledge this game is not terrible and for a one or two man band putting this together he has done a remarkable job, kudos to him or both. My gripes if I may call them that, but I'd like to think
This game is very well designed, it makes sense, it is fun and perfect for the "builder" inclined players. I hope some of the not yet included functions are done soon, but I give it high praise.
A great game but very frustrating. You never have enough workers and if you increase workers, you never have enough food! Trading is a fun aspect, but all of the prices you get paid for goods, do not change! so you
