About Fall of Rome
Fall of Rome is set in the 5th century, at the dawn of Dark Ages Europe. From
the power vacuum created by the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, twelve
historical kings including Arthur of the Celts and Atilla the Hun struggle for
dominance across Germania, Gaul, Italia, and other historical regions in an
engrossing game that involves not only intense battles, but political
maneuvering, economic development, espionage, spying, and plenty of intrigue in
the negotiations and deal-making between players. There is also present an
element of the mythos of the period, as heroes of each kingdom can venture to
recover powerful artifacts such as Excalibur or the Sword of Mars (legend has
that it was possessed by Atilla) from their mythical guardians. Fall of Rome is
true strategy, that is, turn based strategy. The twelve players in any one
contest begin the game on the same day, each has an equal number of turns, and
the game ends with a victor after no more than 24 turns. In any one turn each
player issues more than a dozen commands to his varied forces. These include
ordering the movement and specific battle tactics of armies across a map of
ancient Europe, commanding the noble court, attempting assassinations, sabotage
or other espionage, gleaning divinations from the high priestess, and issuing
commands to improve defense and economic output of their civilization. Each
player chooses a time at his convenience within the 72 hour period between turns
to plan his strategy and issue his commands using the intuitive graphic user
interface. The game is browser-based so there is nothing to buy at a store and
no large files to download. More information is available at www.fallofromegame.com.
