Warlord: Britannia

Warlord: Britannia is a first-person strategy game in which you command a Roman Legion sent by the Emperor to conquer an island. You lead troops, build bases, capture settlements and disrupt enemy forces across an open world, and can fight alongside your soldiers in real time.

The island

The island covers more than 45 square kilometers and has three connected regions, with no loading screens between them. You begin in the densely forested Lowlands, then advance north through the rolling hills and farms of the Midlands to the imposing, desolate Highlands.

Trading convoys and roaming warbands travel the roads in real time. The local population spreads word of your actions, and you must manage unrest while preparing for uprisings and raids on your camp. Enemies respond aggressively to repeated attacks and other transgressions by your Roman forces.

Command your Legion

You can recruit up to 15 Roman Centuries and their officers to fill out your Legion. Battles bring hundreds of Romans and Britons together. Your legionaries can attack strongholds and towns, pillage and loot settlements, impose heavy taxes, and send the population to Rome in chains.

Build marching camps

As you conquer the island, you establish a series of marching camps. Clear forests, build palisade walls and assign guards to patrol the perimeter at night. You can pack up and move your camp at any time, choosing where and when to fortify and how long to stay before conditions become too dangerous.

Roman Britain

The weapons, armor, structures, names and gameplay draw directly on surviving literary and archaeological evidence. The game recreates Britain in the first century AD, with historical authenticity as a core element.
