Your first two destinations

Step

In short Visiting both starting locations early gets you two badges and gives you a feel for the game's two very different settings.

The game puts two starting regions in front of you: Pompeii, sitting beneath Mount Vesuvius, and Roman-occupied Egypt under Cleopatra's rule. Each one has its own political backdrop. Stepping into each region unlocks a badge, so there is a practical reason to visit both early on.

Head to Pompeii walk into the Pompeii area and you will earn the 'Welcome to Pompeii!' badge automatically.
Explore Egypt travel to the Roman-occupied Egypt area and the 'Welcome to Egypt!' badge unlocks the same way.
Pompeii sits in the shadow of a volcano and mixes prosperity, politics, trade, and survival in one city.
Egypt carries a different political atmosphere under Cleopatra's rule.

Choosing or building a faction

Table

In short Joining an established faction or creating your own are both options available from the start.

Power in this game flows through four channels: military service, politics, trade, and influence. Where you apply that power depends on the faction you pick.

Major faction (Rome, Sparta, Egypt, Macedon)	established options you can join.
Smaller rising faction	another option available to players.
Your own faction	built from nothing, with every decision in your hands.

Surviving the Vesuvius eruption

Warn

In short The eruption is abrupt and deadly, and many players do not make it through.

The badge for surviving Mount Vesuvius exists because many players fail to earn it. The eruption is described as abrupt and colossal, meaning you will not always get a long warning window.

Worth watching out for

While you are in Pompeii, keep part of your attention on the volcano rather than treating it as background scenery.

When the eruption starts, surviving takes priority over everything else you were doing.

Earning the Emperor badge

Tips

In short This badge only appears when the Emperor player is actually in your server.

The 'You met the Emperor!' badge is awarded when you encounter the Emperor of Rome while they are present in the game. Because the Emperor is a player-held role, the badge is unavailable in servers where no one is playing that role.

Tips worth knowing

The Emperor must be present in your server for the badge to be obtainable.
Logging in regularly raises your overall chances of landing in a server where the Emperor is online.

Growing your power through events

Tips

In short Community-driven events are one of the main ways the world changes.

Wars, trials, ceremonies, and daily life events are all community-driven, meaning player participation directly shifts how the world develops. The four paths to power — military, politics, trade, and influence — each connect to different types of events.

Tips worth knowing

Wars, trials, ceremonies, and daily life are community-driven events through which the world evolves.
If you created your own faction, it is built from nothing.

Glossary

Faction: A group players can join or create, with Rome, Sparta, Egypt, and Macedon being the major established options.
Mount Vesuvius: The volcano looming over Pompeii that erupts abruptly and colossally, threatening players in the area.
Emperor: A player who holds the role of Roman Emperor in a server; meeting them in-game rewards a unique badge.
Influence: One of the four paths to power alongside military service, politics, and trade.

Common questions

FAQ

Should I start in Pompeii or Egypt?

Both give you a badge just for visiting. Pompeii sits beneath Mount Vesuvius and mixes prosperity, politics, trade, and survival, while Egypt is set under Cleopatra's rule.

Is building my own faction worth it?

Starting your own faction means building it from nothing.

Can I get the Emperor badge any time I play?

Only if the Emperor is present in your server during that session. The badge is awarded when you meet the Emperor of Rome while they are in the game.
