Pax Augusta

Pax Augusta features historically accurate architecture, with numerous buildings based on real-life models that have been recreated with meticulous accuracy. That carries over into a gripping campaign based on the historical writings of the Roman historian Tacitus. Pax Augusta also offers a sandbox mode where you can create your perfect Roman city without restrictions. Build residential areas, market squares, temples, forums, thermal baths and much more, with each building fulfilling an important purpose for city life. As your city grows from a small outpost to a vibrant metropolis, you will have to import and export goods, pay close attention to the needs of your citizens, and deal with the changing whims of benevolent, profligate, or capricious emperors who have a great influencer on your office as governor.

  • Historically accurate architecture based on real-life models, some of which can be seen as ruins today.
  • Construct a Roman city, building residential areas, market squares, temples, baths, and more as you grow from a small outpost to a vibrant metropolis.
  • Challenges and dangers, including natural disasters, diseases, and political power games.
  • Expand to the northern borders of the empire as you experience a large, detailed game world and colonize the regions of Gaul and Germany.
  • Dynamic trade mechanics allow you to import and export goods as you seek to control trade routes for maximum profit.
  • Sandbox and story mode offer the option of creating your perfect roman city with restrictions or diving into a gripping campaign based on the writings of Tacitus.
