Description Edit | History

The Republic of Rome is an abstraction of over 250 years of history. It simulates the politics of the Roman Senate during the republic. The players take the part of various factions vying for the control of the senate. They control the various powerful families of the time, who compete for state offices, military command, economic concessions and new adherents. To win the player must get their faction to become the most powerful in Rome. While doing this, however, a balance must be maintained. A hostile world situation, and the vagaries of the public of Rome means that the players must also cooperate so that Rome herself doesn't go down under this pressure. If Rome does not last, neither does the senate, and all players lose!

The Republic of Rome is #3 in the Valley Games Classic Line

0 Auxiliator Belli 1.00
This automatically calculates the odds of success for any battle. It's made in MS Excel and will probably not function fully in OpenOffice, but even then it could still be usefull. Let me know if there's any bugs.
