* Keep up with many other aspects of your City and
Province.
To enter the Forum from either the City or Province
Level, click on the Go To Forum button on the Control
Panel. Select any of your advisors in the Forum by
clicking directly on them to consult, receive advice,
and issue orders. Your mouse pointer will change when
it is over a hotspot in the Forum.
THE ORACLE
The Oracle on the far left side of the Forum shows you
your performance in the four Ratings: Empire, Peace,
Prosperity, and Culture. If you want to receive a
promotion and advance to a new province you will
need to achieve a minimum rating in each category
and a minimum combined average rating for all four
categories. Click on each category’s box for advice on
how to boost your ratings.
Empire: This rating judges the extent to which you
have spread your influence throughout your Province
and beyond. To increase your Empire rating, you must
establish a far-reaching network of trade and
communication links. Build roads to connect your
city with the other Roman Towns in your
Province; build Ports and Trading Posts to access
areas beyond your Province borders. Your
Empire rating will also improve when outlying
towns grow and develop, and when your city’s
population grows.
Note: The Empire rating will not apply to City
Level Only games.
