up to your city’s soldiers and vigiles to find and kill the
invaders. This is why a strong provincial military,
and/or provincial walls are important. In addition, swift
defeat of hostile forces will raise your Peace rating.
Promotion — If a promotion is offered, you do not
have to take it. You may elect to continue with your
current City and Province indefinitely. If you do accept
a promotion, you will be prompted to select your next
Province from among those adjacent to the Empire’s
current boundaries. When you arrive in a new
province, you will take with you any personal money
you have saved.
Town Captured — If a Roman Town is overrun by a
band of Raiders, it will become a Tribe, which means
that it resists Roman rule. In this instance, you should
treat it as you would any other tribe — send a Cohort
out to subdue it.
Destruction — Some enemies will destroy industrial
sites within your province. If this happens, you will
have to rebuild them from the ground up. You should
try to stop enemies, by wall or by Cohort, before they
can get to a site.

that, you may elect to take on the “ultimate challenge:”
