Imperium

Command Rome's legions through four desperate wars.

---

Imperium is a turn-based tactical wargame with mass slide movement. Your movement orders move your entire Roman army in a single direction. You must win by forming unbreakable formations and timed attacks.

The Campaigns

Battle through four different historical campaigns:

• The Gallic Tribes: Learn the ropes and forge your first Tribune.
• The Carthaginian Threat: Navigate mountain passes and hold the line against War Elephants.
• The Parthian Ambush: Face smarter enemy AI on a new, expanded battlefield.
• The Hunnic Invasion: Survive relentless waves before facing the multi-hex boss:  Attila's Cavalry Wedge.

Barracks & Progression

Earn Imperium XP by conquering each campaign. Spend it in the Barracks to unlock powerful progression tiers like "Professional Army," "Logistics," or "Forced March" to upgrade your army.
