Hadrian’s Wall

In 122 AD, while visiting northern Britain, the Roman Emperor Hadrian Augustus witnessed the aftermath of war between his armies and the fierce Picts. As a show of Roman might, he ordered a wall to be built separating the Pictish tribes from the rest of England. Grand in design, the wall stretched 80 Roman miles from coast to coast. Hadrian’s Wall served the Roman Empire for nearly 300 years before falling into gradual decline. Today Hadrian’s Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the remains of its milecastles, turrets and watchtowers can still be explored.
In Hadrian’s Wall players take on the role of a Roman general charged with building a small castle and its adjoining wall. Over six years (rounds) players will construct their castle and wall, maintain their defences and attract civilians by building services and providing entertainment — all while defending the honour of the Roman Empire from the warring Picts. The player who accumulates the most renown, piety, valour and discipline, while avoiding disdain, will prove to the Emperor that they are a model Roman citizen and be crowned Legatus Legionis!
