Roman Campaign

Roman Campaign infografic from Project Celeste

The Roman Campaign is the main group of quests exclusive for the Roman civilization in Age of Empires Online, developed by Project Celeste. The campaign is asynchronistic as it deals with the early years of the Roman Republic, while at the same time the quest givers are from the end of that era (~400-300 years later).

Capital City Quests

These quests are linked to the Roman Capital City. Julius Caesar is the principal quest giver and in this part of the campaign are included all the tutorial and training quests. The main campaign follows the establishment of the Roman Republic after the overthrow and exile of Tarquinius until the Roman–Volscian wars.

Development

The Roman Campaign was announced through the Weekly Blog #31: The Future of the Romans forum post on March 21st, 2020.

In light of recent events, we have decided to make the Romans even greater and are very excited to announce that the Romans will no longer be a pro civ. This means that they will start at level 1 and will give players the full Age of Empires Online experience.

They will have their own unique Regions, Quest Givers, main Questline, Side Quests, and more! We haven't missed the smaller details either, such as giving them their own equivalent of Delphi/Giza Limestone or Celtic Charcoal: The Roman Marble
