Trajan, Roman emperor in the late 1st century and conqueror of Parthia, is leading Rome in Civilization VI.

All roads lead to Rome they say, which gives Roman cities the unique advantage of starting with a trading post and getting the bonuses of having a road to them if they’re within trading distance of your capital city. On top of their free trading post, Rome also gets a free building upon being founded (usually a monument) and can build baths that provide more housing and amenities than the aqueducts they replace.

Augustus Caesar may not be returning in Civ VI, but his legion, Rome’s military unit, is. They replace the swordsman, but are stronger, better at defense, and can build both roads and forts while out in battle. This means that you’ll be wanting to expand early and collect as many iron deposits as you can to supply your legion.

Rome is an exploration and production powerhouse. With their free trading posts and random starting buildings in every city founded, new cities will start stronger and be on their own feet in no time now matters where they’re built. Just as Trajan was famous for his military expansion, you can use Rome’s legion to settle disputes, explore, and settle on lands unknown.

Trajan and Rome brings the total confirmed civ count up to 16 in Civilization VI, and will release for PC on October 21st.
