Crossing The Rubicon - A Rome Rework

This started as a Traditions overhaul after Rome got hit with the nerf bat but it's slowly morphed into a full on rework. I've never really liked Rome in any civ game honestly, I think they beginner-proof them to the point of being kinda nothing. So this rework attempts to inject them with historical flavour and give them some fun gimmicks. The main goal was to make the traditions actually DO something since Rome wants to be the traditions civ. I haven't removed anything from the kit so the Legatus still gets Bulwark, the settlement limits are still there etc. Traditions are in bold.



Auxilia: 10% Production for Units in the Capital for every Town.
(Now affects all units so useful for non-warmongers, and increased from 5%->10% so now 2 towns equal 1 copy of Salt rather than 4)

+3 Combat Strength against Independent Powers.
(Gallic Wars)


Gain 50 Happiness when a Commander receives a Promotion.
(Roman Triumph)

Cursus Honorum: +2 Culture for every Commander Level.
(Makes more sense thematically for Cursus Honorum than buying Infantry and has full game relevance / scaling)


Panem et Circenses: +2 Happiness on Food Buildings and +2 Food on Happiness Buildings.
(I wanted a 5th Tradition so the Legion CS buff would be +5 not +4. This 'bread and circuses' tradition is intended to be a collation of a lot of Roman public works like public baths, aqueducts and the grain dole.)

+2 Gold on Happiness buildings.
(Same reasoning as the baths one, it's a shame Rome doesn't get bonuses for its iconic infrastructure. Well now you get gold from your Roman Villas, Arenas, and the Temples of Jupiter - which were used as state treasuries!!)


Latinitas: +15% Food, Gold and Happiness in Towns.
(Removed the specialisation thing so it can help your towns grow and removed the culture so I could make the number bigger. Can you believe this is +5% in the base game?? For context the antiquity 'Castes' policy gives you +25% food in all towns and I still never run it)

Units gain +1 Movement from Roads.
(Come on, its ROME)


+2 Influence for every slotted Tradition.
(I tried having the Forum give +1 Influence per tradition like it does culture but it was wayyy too much. Just a minor reward for players who aren't getting use out of the Legion CS)

Colosseum Unlock
(Moved a tiny bit earlier)


Princeps Civitatis: For every slotted Tradition, the Capital gains +10 Production but loses -10 Happiness.
(Here's the gimmick! Designed so you're always toeing the line between Senate and Dictator. Use the card sparingly to rush important wonders in your Capital at the cost of culture and science, half and half it with just enough Traditions slotted to not go into the red, or try to stack enough Happiness to use it all the time for big rewards. It's a little intimidating on paper but I love the way different Leaders handle this. I've played Lafayette / Shaman Himiko and just tanked the unhappiness, I've gone wide and settled / traded for lots of happiness resources, I've played Augustus and built up all the happiness infrastructure possible in my capital, I've gone warmongers and just tanked the science/culture debuffs to print units with the crazy production...)

Garrisoned Legates reduce Settlement Unhappiness by 20% for each Promotion.
(Oh look, another way to deal with it! It's very thematic and Roman taking your accomplished commanders off the front lines and having them serve as Consul to make Rome even more powerful)

Legates gain the Zeal promotion.
(This is the one that gives you 5% to city yields when you're garrisoned. It doesn't do much but it's just a nice little reward for engaging with the commander->consul gimmick. Because when was the last time you ever intentionally picked ZEAL)


In my experience the games go

First chapter: Picking Exercitus Romanus and challenging Independent Powers for Early Celebrations

Second chapter: Civis Romanus for the urban boosts, building up your Towns and Capital

Little break to build Colosseum

Third chapter: Figuring out how to balance Princeps Civitatis with the resources you've got

Fourth Chapter: Completing your Legacy Path(s)

Fifth Chapter: Crisis and Finale
