Roman players can access technologies to improve their officers and engineers, and even get access to a villager upgrade. The Romans will also feature a technology only unique building called the Forum, much like the Greeks and Celts. This is both from the original design notes the team has from Gas Powered Games and from what the team at Project Celeste has stated in their weekly posts.ДЄn example of this is that the Romans will be the only civilization to get two Siege units in Age 3! Garrisoned units grant the praesidium ranged attacks.ДЄs per the focus of this civilization, the Romans have their greatest strength in Siege, with having 'more Siege Units than any other Civ in the game' and 'Roman Siege will be a huge part of their play style and the strongest in the game.' It has also been stated across numerous blog posts that the Romans are a late-game civ. The Romans as a civilization play differently than other civs, as their units are not organized by the standard Infantry/Ranged/Cavalry/, but instead by the class system the historical Romans used.ДЇurther more, the Castellum can be upgraded to a Praesidium, which marks the first time training facilities can be garrisoned. The team worked on this task every week and provided the fans of AOEO with weekly updates of the new assets being created. Unit details on the other hand were limited to only concept art.

The game files already contained a basic set of Roman vanity buildings that gave the team the direction of the style, patterns and colors as the civ was originally intended. With sourced concept art from the original plans the team was able to piece together the Roman civ in terms of tech tree, buildings and units. May 22, 2019, the Project Celeste team announced their plans to develop and implement the Roman civilization that was under early development before Age of Empires Online shut down. Wage Bellum Romanum and conquer the world. Expand RomeвЂ™s influence through technological upgrades at the Forum. Employ Engineers to construct your empire and bolster your siege weapons.

Other assets were used in the making of the Alliance wars factions (ex. While the Project Celeste team stated that they wanted to try to keep close to the design docs of the original team, in some instances it wasn't possible due to concepts and potential Romans assets being used for other civs like the Norse and Babylonian. On May 22rd 2019, P2FK, a lead developer for the Project Celeste dev team, announced that the Romans would be finished and released on the Project Celeste fan server.

The Romans were originally planned for release back in 2011, but due to the complexity of the initial tech tree, were cut in favour of Norse and Babylonian, and left in a conceptualization stage at the time of the game's official closure.
