CAESAR II

barbarians. On the Province Level, you may build

forts, command your armies, or even build massive

provincial walls for protection.

Your overall performance, on both levels, will be rated

in four areas: Peace, Culture, Prosperity, and

Empire. When you have reached a required minimum

rating in each category, and a required overall

(average) rating, you will be offered a promotion, and

the chance to extend the Empire by bringing a new

province under Roman rule. When you receive a

promotion, you will be able to choose your next

province from among those adjacent to the current

boundaries of the Empire.

The game ends when one of two things happens:

1) You advance successfully through enough provinces

that you achieve the ultimate promotion — Emperor

of Rome — and you win the game. The number and

difficulty of the provinces required to win depends on

the skill level you have set.

2) You fail to perform up to the standards of the

Roman Empire, and enrage the Emperor to such an

extent that he removes you from office and dispatches

you to some undoubtedly ghastly fate. In this case,

needless to say, you lose.
