Heart of Empire: Rome

Utilising a world leading, state of the art 3D engine, stunningly beautiful vistas of ancient Roman architecture are realised. The engine provides unrestricted freedom of movement, allowing the player to sweep over their creation; viewing Rome from a lofty vantage point, alongside the God's or down on street level, amongst the hustle and bustle of a population, some 100,000 strong. Aside from the logistical challenges set for the player to overcome (the development of the city & providing for the needs of the population), the player must also contend with challenges on higher level. Manipulate political machinations within the Roman senate, complete with intrigue and deceit; to further the players own goals. Win favour of the 'Mob' by hosting high speed chariot races in the awe inspiring Circus Maximus and watch gladiators die with honour in the overwhelming Coliseum. Heart of Empire: Rome will recreate the splendour of the Roman Empire and the enormity of the city of Rome as we have never seen it before, save in million dollar blockbuster movies like Sparticus, Ben Hur and most recently Ridley Scott's Gladiator.
