Great game!

Worth the money!

Make more!

Love the game! Make more like citizens of Spain, France, etc. would like to see th world develop more. More discoveries or invading by other countries

New update broke game

I love this game and I really want to try the new features but every time I try to go to settings to restart the game it either crashes or freezes.

Kills of Paterfamilas all the time when family gets rich

The game is fun but it seems to have a mechanic that when the family gets very rich the paterfamilias is always killed off at a young age. I donโ€™t remember this mechanic in earlier versions but it takes away the fun of dominating Roman politics.

Horribly Unbalanced Pricy Garbage

Wow what a fun and cool thing to be stuck in perpetual debt because it takes over 4 years to apprentice at the cheapest job with 20 adaptability/insight. What a fun and cool thing that none of the people you marry start with jobs, but cost twice as much as you do each month. What a fun and cool thing that you pay 10 real life dollars for an inescapable debt spiral because you have to pay hundreds in game just to do unskilled labor despite clearly being able to perform it just fine as a debt slave. The devs should wake up every day feeling horrible for who they are, honestly.

Response from developer

Really sorry for the diificult experience. If you're up for giving it another go, we would recommend either trying out the Easy/Sandbox modes with a new save, or better still, enabling mods via the button in the Settings screen and giving yourself a bit of extra cash when you most need it, to tide you over. It should get easier and more fun over time as you get used to the game's ebb and flow. And the upcoming release will rebalance things a bit in this area as well. Please feel free to write to us via email at rome@thestartupengine.net or on the Discord (https://discord.gg/ZVkxjC5) and we'll help you out. Thank you for your patronage!
