- Citadelum is an ancient Roman city builder, where we pop back to ye olde Roman times and get building!
Of course there's all the very familiar stuff you'd expect from a city builder, like building homes and farms and lumber camps and all that stuff, but there's also some very specific Roman buildings, like the lovely aqueducts which are required to provide water to our citizens.
We have a series of objectives to work through, ranging from simply housing a set number of people of a certain social class through to sending Rome some fancy resources.
As we build we have to maintain our buildings using engineers, we have to put out fires with our fire service and we have to keep people fed by having plenty of farms. Weirdly they have cabbage 'orchards' and carrot 'orchards', which seems a bit odd... did cabbages grow in trees in Roman times?
What with it being ancient Rome the Gods are also watching down on us and we can build temples to them in order to worship them for fancy bonuses. There's also the option for some animal sacrifices... and human ones too...
NOTE: This is the demo version of the game.

----------------------------
Defy the Gods of the Pantheon or follow their will. Become the master of oh so many lives and destiny of so few in this twist to the genre face to face with the old deities.
Build your settlement. Gather and refine resources from forests and quarries, breed animals, grow vegetables, fish and make wine, so you can keep your population healthy and fed. Improve your buildings and ensure water supply with aqueducts. Welcome citizens to your village as artisans, farmers, carpenters... or train them to join your legions in different units. Towers and walls will protect your village from barbarian attacks, while it grows into a magnificent city.
Expand. Explore the world map, free villages under siege and experience the power of the most advanced armies of the era: the legion, engaging in tactical auto-battle combat. Once the territory is secured, you can set trade routes, import exotic resources and scale up your economy. Send out your explorers to find a collection of mythological objects that will help you in your expansion and complete missions for the Senate.
Honour. Rise to the pantheon and gain the favor of the gods. Build temples, make offerings so they will grant you gifts. But beware, because gods behave in a capricious and ruthless manner; worship one of them and you may suffer the wrath of another. Interaction with deities allows a non linear, replayable narrative, full of mythical encounters. Prepare to be amazed when they come down to earth and help you, or tremble with fear if they punish your people.
City Building, evolved. Citadelum presents a unique three layered gameplay, based in city building core mechanics, strategic expansion and commerce, and the role of the gods. You will find different missions, artifacts and challenges in every playthrough.

This was a massive flashback to my Ceasar III days 😎😎😎
Hehe, you tried almost every possible pronunciation bar the right one bless you. Plebian = Pleh-bee-un. It's where we get the word pleb that some still use.
Pengvs Geekelivs Cupboardivs! All hail to your cabbages, noble Pengvs!
The "shiny silver coin things" are called denarii...
This reminds me of an Egyptian game I played waaaaay back in the 1990s. Was it called "The Egyptians"? It worked in a similar way - you had to balance needs with various buildings and they needed to be placed carefully to be most effective. It had loads of campaigns, each more challenging than the last, ending in building massive pyramids, which took forever etc. I spent may happy hours playing that game.
Do you mean 'Pharaoh' maybe? I find this game has a lot in common with it, and of course with its 1990s Roman counterpart 'Caesar'.
@@anthonyr.1568 It was a long time ago, but I think I remember Pharaoh coming out. I think the game I played might have been a predecessor to Pharaoh. There has been so many games across the year, lol. They're all melding in together. 🤣
Roman Firefighters the Vigiles were generally Freedmen who also acted as the Police Force.
Why do I hear the Caesar III music playing in my head for the whole video?
Hopefully the music in this game will be at least that good!
There is a real Roman Road that is near where I grew up and much of it is still in use today.
It is called Stane Street (stane = stone) and goes 57 miles from Chichester in West Sussex to London Bridge In a completely straight line. Except... where it curves a bit to cross the hills called the North Downs. It is never further than 6 miles from the route a completely straight road would take though
This has slight reminiscences of The Settlers, to me. Although, that had convenient carriers that took goods from one section of road to the next. Fantastic game, though.
I had hoped there would be more involved in dealing with the gods, but maybe that's coming in the full version of the game.
Not sure why they didn't name this Caesar III 20XX? Cus this is Caesar III
Copyright/trademark, fear of lawsuit, legal thingy.
Isn't there a website where you type in the word and hit a speaker icon and the word is pronounced for you? Hmmm.
have you ever played Caeser 3? such an awesome game
How do you save game in demo please
I'm not sure you can save in the demo, it's quite an early version of the game. There's not even a menu screen!
it's pleBEian, not PLEbeian
Anyone here remember CIvCity Rome....lol
Hehehe first one here 😁
WINNER!
you got Kato so you must be the shadow ...
Ceres .... think Sarah ... the goddess of fertility ...
Rome seems very cheesy.
Were is the stuff I like Geek man?
In the fridge door, as usual. While you're at it, bring me some cheese please.
