## Description
In Corduba 27 a.C., you embody an heir from one of Rome's most influential patrician families, dispatched by Augustus to rebuild the city of Corduba, which was devastated after the rebellion against Julius Caesar. The year is 27 BC, and your mission is clear: restore the city to its former glory and, naturally, win the favor of both the people and Rome to become the next Governor. The game unfolds across three eras, each representing a crucial decade for the city's development. In each round, players take turns performing actions until everyone decides to pass. You'll produce and harvest resources, erect impressive buildings and monuments, train legions for the Roman cohorts, and attend to the religious needs of the populace. To achieve this, you'll have specialists and workers at your disposal, whose numbers increase as Corduba's population grows. It's important to note that, while it might seem so, this isn't a tile-laying game in the traditional sense, but rather a game of building actions that utilizes familiar worker placement and resource management mechanics. Initially, your action options are limited, primarily focused on gathering basic resources. However, each new building you construct unlocks a new action, exponentially expanding your strategic possibilities and combinations throughout the game. The game's evolution is one of its strengths: at the end of each round, workers return, and all previously built structures become available to any player, regardless of who constructed them. This means strategies transform with each decade, and you'll need to constantly adapt. There are no traditional victory points; to win, you must gain the favor of Corduba's inhabitants and of Rome itself. Building in different districts improves your reputation, and offering the largest legions or offerings to the gods can secure the Senate's support. But beware: citizens can rebel, and if the city is neglected, everyone might lose! Corduba 27 a.C. boasts high replayability, with each game proving unique and different strategies emerging every time.
