Emperor Caesar has allotted you the task of building a city and managing its affairs in a certain region of the Roman Empire as your 1st assignment. You are asked to meet certain victory conditions such as food storage targets, a desired population, a certain amount of Imperial Favor, rise in Cultural Rating and so on. If you are able to attain these goals the Emperor promotes you to a higher rank of nobility and yet another challenging task to perform. If not you are fired and that is the end of your newfound career as a clerk.
