00:00Ah, so you wish to be a Roman governor.
00:06Congratulations.
00:08The emperor himself has deemed you worthy to take charge of these lands.
00:13Once struck by disaster, they're now ready for new leadership.
00:18Your leadership.
00:19Your story begins here, on a humble island with azure shores.
00:25Latium.
00:26Whether you dream of a bustling trade empire, or a conquest-driven dominion,
00:33no two cities will ever be the same, as every choice you make shapes your city in your image.
00:42Govern well, and the emperor will sing your praises.
00:46Govern poorly, and, well, the consequences won't be pleasant.
00:52Every decision you make will shape your legacy.
00:56So how does one become a good governor?
01:00Hmm, let's find out.
01:07Latium is where your journey begins, young governor.
01:11New beginnings are magical, but they're also full of hard work.
01:15First, lay down roads to keep your people connected.
01:18Organic layouts add charm, while efficient grids boost productivity.
01:25Start with dirt roads.
01:26They may be humble, but they're the first step on the path to greatness.
01:31Resources are your lifeblood.
01:34Wood from untouched forests will be essential.
01:36But manage your lumber camps wisely to maintain a sustainable supply.
01:42And remember, efficient logistics are key.
01:46Warehouses will keep goods flowing and production smooth.
01:50Your residents need more than just work.
01:52They need homes.
01:54Build neighborhoods that suit your city's vision.
01:57Markets drive income and population growth, while taverns keep spirits high.
02:02Oh, and mind the fire hazards, especially the bakeries.
02:08Fires are practically a Roman tradition.
02:13Just be mindful of your city's layout.
02:16Residents will love lavender's sweet scent.
02:19But they won't be so fond of the pig farm's stench.
02:23Phew.
02:24Balance charm and profit wisely.
02:28A governor must also live among the people.
02:30Establish your own villa as a sign of stability and leadership.
02:35Meet your people's needs and they'll advance.
02:38Unlocking new industries and opportunities.
02:44A resilient economy is vital.
02:47Stockpile resources and prepare for challenges.
02:51As not every island will yield the goods you desire.
02:55Trade is key to securing essential items.
02:58But keep an eye on rival governors.
03:01Not all share your vision of cooperation.
03:04Diplomacy may seem wise.
03:06But some rivals favor force.
03:09Protect your trade routes with armed escorts and fortified ports.
03:14And beware of pirates.
03:16A well-defended harbor keeps your goods safe from thieving hands.
03:26As your city prospers, your people's desires grow.
03:31Fine goods, entertainment and culture become their demands.
03:35Libraries and grammatical schools pave the way for technological advancement.
03:40Public service buildings like bathhouses boost health, while theatres keep happiness high.
03:47Grand monuments like the Colosseum bring prestige and secure the emperor's favor.
03:53Never underestimate the power of reputation.
03:56After all, it's the key to lasting legacy.
03:59Faith unites your people and strengthens your leadership.
04:10Each island may dedicate itself to a single deity.
04:13But triumphs for other gods are welcome.
04:18Believing in Neptune grants faster ships and bountiful sea production.
04:21While believing in Mars empowers your soldiers and bolsters your army's morale.
04:28Choose your patron god wisely.
04:31As faith will shape your province's destiny.
04:34Expand through diplomacy or force.
04:41The choice is yours.
04:43Trade and alliances can build a sprawling network.
04:46But conquest secures your rule.
04:49Aqueducts fuel growth.
04:52Wild fortresses guard your borders.
04:55Prepare your military to defend your ambitions.
04:58Whether close combat or long-range firepower.
05:02Your strategy will determine your legacy.
05:09Your rule may extend to lands beyond the empire.
05:13Like Albion, where Celts resist Roman influence.
05:17Trust me, governor.
05:19It's a wild place.
05:20Will you protect Celtic traditions or remain loyal to Roman ambition?
05:36Your choices will determine your fate.
05:39A prosperous metropolis or a city in bankruptcy.
05:43Forge your legacy and become the governor you were meant to be.
05:47Begin your journey.
05:52Wishlist now.
