Ave, citizens of Rome! We want to celebrate with all of you the arrival of the Ides of March, those days of good omens that anticipate the coming of spring. This is a monumental date in ancient history: it also marks the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, a turning point that triggered the transformation of the Republic into the Roman Empire.

Ave, Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars (58-50 BCE) remain a pivotal chapter in Roman history, a testament to his military genius and a catalyst for profound societal change in Gaul. More than mere territorial expansion, these campaigns were a brutal yet effective engine of Romanization, laying the groundwork for centuries of Roman dominance north of the Alps. This period, meticulously documented in Caesar’s own Commentarii de Bello Gallico, which has been our main inspiration for Citadelum new content, offers invaluable insight into Roman military strategy, logistical prowess, and the complex interp

Hail, citizens of Rome. We are pleased to announce that the DLC for Citadelum, The Lost Eagles of Germania is now available on Steam (and coming soon on GOG).

I’m always a fan of a good simulator, whether it’s zoos, theme parks, farms, or city-building. When the Roman city-builder Citadelum was brought to my attention, I knew I had to jump in, and I’m so glad I did. Citadelum blends strategy, simulation, and style to create an addictive experience that I can’t seem to put down. Citadelum is what happens when you blend SimCity with Age of Mythology and then ramp things up to 11. The game takes place in Rome, and you need to build a functional city for your people. However, what is deemed functional varies as your town evolves and your residents deman
