Romans

The Romans faction by Jacob Vejvoda (ElimiNator) is a faction in the MegaPack techtree.The Romans faction is comparable with Tech in terms of gameplay and unit costs, with units ranging from a simple archer to a powerful gladiator to the brutally powerful general.

History
The initial concept for the Romans faction was introduced by -Archmage- on 1 September 2009. The current version of the faction is entirely the works of Jacob Vejvoda. Along with the initial announcement, an alpha was released. Several minor releases used a date-oriented version numbering system before reverting back to the previous version numbering. Version 2 was released on 2 October 2009, with version 3 following on 9 January 2010.

Official description
"This is a Roman faction with the ancient Romans. You will use their military prowess to conquer the lands of Tech and Magic, the inferior races of Glest. OR....at least that's what General Galerius told me. Speaking of Galerius, he told me to tell you: "My legions are yours my gods". In other words, you have command of his massive legions.

May luck greet you kindly,

Caesar, Emperor of Rome"
