Military
The game focuses more on city-building than military, but there will still be some fighting, even in some of the "peaceful" missions. The enemies in Mission Mode, from weakest to strongest, are:
- Etruscans: Tarentum and Valentia
- Greeks: Syracusae and Miletus
- Pergamum soldiers: Tarsus
- Egyptians: Damascus
- Numids: Tingis and Caesarea
- Gauls: Lutetia and Massilia
- Dacians: Sarmizegetusa
- Celts: Londinium and Lindum
- Carthaginians: Mediolanum and Carthago
- Caesar: All (He can attack if the player angers him by not paying back their bills) The first attack will be 2 legions of legionaries, which are very strong. If you kill them, another attack of about 6-8 legions of the same legionaries will follow. The attack will keep coming until you die (they also seem to stop if you get your favor over 35).
(The unnamed City, Brundisium, Capua, Tarraco and Lugdunum will never be invaded.)
Sometimes popular insurrections will occur. The insurgents are easier to kill, but there's no warning before the event happens.
To defend a city the player can build walls, ballista towers, and forts, which house Roman legion soldiers. The soldiers in a fort can be trained as legionaries, or auxiliaries including javelins, or cavalry.

Famous quotes containing the word military:
“[I]t is a civil Cowardice to be backward in asserting what you ought to expect, as it is a military Fear to be slow in attacking when it is your Duty.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able to accomplish in it. To put up a wall against the military because of one regulation would be doing the same thing that the regulation does in terms of negating people.”
—Margarethe Cammermeyer (b. 1942)
“In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
