It was released in Europe on March 6, 2009 and in North America on March 17, 2009. Certain historical events are portrayed, such as slave uprising led by Spartacus and the crossing of the Rubicon. Starting out, players create a character, choosing their name, gender and portrait. A colony includes various food production buildings, such as wheat and pig farms, bakeries and butchers; material production buildings such as lumber camps and brick works; religious temples; and various types of housing for different citizen classes . Resources are based on a "flow" economy, in which the player does not actually accumulate a stockpile of resources, but rather develops the infrastructure to construct and maintain buildings. The player may construct significant monuments for large or global bonuses, such as the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, and Pantheon.
