When visiting the North of Britannia in 122 AD; the Roman Emperor Hadrian Augustus witnessed the aftermath of war between his armies and the savage Picts. In a show of Roman might; he ordered a wall to be built that would separate the Pict tribes from the rest of England. Grand in its design; the wall stretched 80 Roman miles; from coast to coast. Hadrian's Wall stood in service to the Roman Empire for nearly 300 years before its eventual decline. Today; Hadrian's Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the remains of the forts; towers; and turrets can still be explored.
In Hadrian's Wall; players take on the role of a Roman General placed in charge of the construction of a milecastle and bordering wall. Over six years (rounds); players will construct their fort and wall; man the defenses; and attract civilians by building services and providing entertainment — all while defending the honor of the Roman Empire from the warring Picts. The player who can accumulate the most renown; piety; valor and discipline; whilst avoiding disdain; will prove to the Emperor they are the model Roman citizen and be crowned Legatus Legionis!
