Hello there Celeste players! We are back with another Roman reveal blog.

Before we could build even one Roman building or unit, we had to decide what buildings and units they had. So we need to back up a bit to get you into our frame of mind.

We started by analyzing what everyone could agree on: the designs of the Original 6 civs. This week, we are going to start with buildings. In later weeks, we will perform a similar analysis with units and technologies. But for now, we are looking at just buildings.

Every civilization in AoEO has 18 buildings except the...

Unfortunately UPnP doesn't always work and port-forwarding is a hassle to set up, especially for those who are not really...
