Mythic Rome encapsulates the dark and gritty past, allowing players to take part in the founding of Rome as a bandit on the Tiber, to overthrow the tyrannical seven kings, conquer the rival Etruscan city states, watch the city be sacked by Gauls, battle Hannibal during the Punic Wars, take part in the malevolent Bacchanalian conspiracy, fight alongside Spartacus (or against him), or choose sides during the civil war between Caesar and Pompey. Utilizing the Mythras system, Mythic Rome contains rules for everything from political standing to chariot racing, along with comprehensive Roman careers and guides for the weapons, armor and combat styles of Rome`s legions and her enemies. Also included are obscure supernatural creatures and new magic systems to reflect the way magic works from the perspective of the Roman`s themselves.
