What is Nova Roma?

Developed by Lion Shield (the creators of Kingdoms and Castles) and published by Hooded Horse, Nova Roma is a strategy and management sim that emphasizes environmental mastery and divine favor. Set against the backdrop of a decaying Roman Empire, you must build a society that withstands both physical and supernatural trials. The game’s hallmark is its physics-based water and weather simulation; you must erect massive aqueducts and dams to control flooding and ensure fertility. Beyond construction, you are a lawmaker and a spiritual leader, enacting decrees and building grand temples to appease a pantheon of gods who can grant bountiful blessings or rain down destructive disasters.

Key features

  • Advanced Water Physics: Reshape the land with terraforming tools to create watersheds, reservoirs, and complex aqueduct systems that react realistically to gravity and rainfall.

  • Divine Intervention: Manage your standing with five distinct Roman gods; complete "Divine Tasks" for boons or face the wrath of Jupiter’s lightning and Neptune’s floods.

  • Complex Logistics: Develop intricate supply chains ranging from basic bread and pottery to late-game luxuries like wine and gladiator games in the Colosseum.

  • Social Stratification: Watch your citizens evolve from simple laborers into specialized artisans, thespians, and soldiers, each with growing needs and desires.

  • Dynamic Weather & Disasters: Contend with rain-driven floods, droughts, and plagues that test the resilience of your city planning.

  • Defensive Warfare: Construct walls and barracks to train legions, defending your burgeoning state against bandits, pirates, and the remnants of the old Empire.

FAQs when buying Nova Roma

5 questions

Yes, Nova Roma launched into Early Access on March 26, 2026. The developers at Lion Shield actively update the game with new features, buildings, and balance changes based on player feedback.

Water is physics-based, not voxel-based. If you dig a trench, water will flow downward naturally. Soil fertility is directly tied to water proximity, but poor planning can lead to your city being submerged during heavy rain or dam failures.

The game is currently rated as Playable. While the visual style scales well, players may need to adjust UI scaling and use the trackpads for precise water infrastructure placement.

Favours are a spiritual currency earned by completing tasks for the gods. They are spent in the technology tree to unlock advanced buildings, crop types, and cultural advancements.

Yes. While the focus is on city-building, you will need to establish a military to defend against occasional invasions by sea-borne forces and land-based threats.
