In order to remove a cult building, significant expenditure is required, and as this is considered persecution, public order will take an additional hit. The downside is that they spread foreign culture, thus bringing disorder to your territory. In this way, cult bonuses are relatively easy to obtain. Three different cults are available in the game:ДЄ cult building can be built for no cost, as its construction represents permitting its disciples to settle within the settlement of choice. These are represented by special building chains that can be constructed by any faction at any settlement. CultsДЄlong with ordinary religion, вЂmysteryвЂ™ cults were widespread in the 3 rd century AD. Certain technological research will improve your nationвЂ™s hygiene on a factionwide level. The plagues can be prevented by investing funds to provide adequate sanitary conditions in your settlements. The sickness can spread from neighbouring territories, follow marching armies and travel down trade routes (merchant ships arriving at your port might carry a more ominous cargo than simple goods). In the game, when a plague hits a settlement, it is known to hamper its growth, decrease the happiness of the population and reduce the income it provides for the ruler. PlaguesДevastating diseases were commonplace during the 3 rd century AD, as if the general state of disorder was not enough. To counter banditry, you must rely on your armies, generals and special buildings. The greater the banditry in a province, the bigger the chance that detrimental bandit events will occur. As banditry grows, less and less food gets exported from the affected province, causing an increased probability of factionwide food shortage. It is increased by the size of your domain and the presence of certain local buildings. In gameplay terms, each province is given a вЂbanditryвЂ™ factor. Armed marauders raided minor settlements and trade routes, disrupting all manner of commercial activities. The reduced government authority over Roman lands caused the spread of rampant banditry. The barbarian raids get bolder and bolder each incursion reaches ever deeper into Roman territory leaving a trail of desolation in its wake. Every border is assaulted, from the Danube to the Rhine. It is only a matter of time before the mighty eastern armies invade Roman lands once more.ДЇinally, to the north and east, beyond the lands of civilised states, barbarian tribes muster their strength, eager to grab their share from the riches of the faltering Empire. The Sassanids have overthrown their Parthian rulers and then taken advantage of the weakened Roman state, destabilising it further via successful military campaigns.

The eastern empire is slowly gaining strength under the leadership of the recently established Sassanid dynasty. With but a few allies and facing a multitude of enemies, his task seems almost impossible.ДЄmong the most fearsome of these enemies is Persia. In these days of strife, a single man can unify the broken Empire: Aurelian вЂ“ the Soldier-Emperor. The city of Rome and the lands of Italia are in the hands of a usurper. To the west, the Gallic provinces have named themselves вЂGallic RomeвЂ™ and pursue independence, supported by the Roman governors in Hispania and Britannia. To the east, the forces of the Palmyrene queen, Zenobia, converge on Egypt, driven by her raw ambition to achieve imperial status for both her and her son. After a period of civil war lasting more than twenty years, the Roman Empire has split apart.
