About the Romans

The Romans are a versatile infantry and naval civilization introduced in the Return of Rome expansion. Their core identity revolves around the Centurion and Legionary unique units — durable, hard-hitting infantry that fill a Champion-like role with extra utility. Roman Scorpions cost less wood and Galleys cost less wood as well, giving them a strong navy on water maps. Workshops work 25% faster, enabling rapid Scorpion and siege production. Their unique tech, Comitatenses, makes Barracks units train 50% faster, turning the Imperial Age into a flood of high-tier infantry. Romans are a balanced choice that rewards players who can blend infantry pushes with siege support and a solid economic backbone.
