Infrastructure

Infrastucture is essential to the survival of Nova Roma. From outposts and roads that support gathering resources to temples that court and sway the wrath of the Gods, a Roman settlement without infrastructure is no settlement at all.

Outpost

The outpost is the beginning of your new city. It is the first building that must be placed before any other structures are built, and where you set it up can majorly influence your future decisions.

Paths

Roads create a 3x3 area around it where buildings can be constucted, making it imperative to the expansion of your city.

Bridges facilitate crossing of water bodies by allowing citizens to cross rivers without having to slowly wade through them. Bridges must be built over water, and you cannot build bridges over the sea.

Dirt roads and wooden bridges both allow Citizens to move 50% faster than on unpaved ground, while stone roads and bridges allow them to move 100% faster than on unpaved ground.

Stone Roads allow Citizens to move 50% faster than normal roads, and twice as fast than on unpaved ground. Just like normal Roads, every Stone Roads tile creates a 3x3 area around it where buildings can be constructed.

Stone roads can be built directly on top of existing normal Roads to upgrade them, and Aqueducts can be built across or on top of any kind of roads (but not on top of bridges).

Gold

The Tax office produces gold for the city by taxing your citizens which can decrease happiness. The Dock can store and transport items around the map. It also allows for the docking of the Foreign Merchant who sells items and can buy materials for gold as well.

Body Disposal

The Columbarium and Cemeteries provide a happiness decrease in a circle with a radius of 7 from the nearest edge, the happiness decrease gets lesser the futher away the building is. It is best to place these in a secluded location away from your residental areas.

Defences

The defenses are used to ward off enemy invaders, Walls will block all troops, enemy or friendly, Gates will allow the passage of friendly troops and Guard towers block all troops. Guard towers have a sphere of range meaning they are more effective on higher ground. For more information on enemies look at the Combat page.

Walls automatically connect both horizontally and diagonally (Not in demo) to other walls and horizontally to gates.

Gates and Guard towers can be placed on top of walls and Walls can be placed under the Guard Tower to ensure smooth connection between Walls.
