The dynasty is so named because its members were drawn from two of the patrician gentes of Ancient Rome, the Julii and the Claudii.

The hard-coding of many aspects of the game has heavily limited the ability to modify several key areas of the game, such as the faction selection. Modification has also been held back by limited documentation—much information cr ...

Before its release, RTW was marketed to potential gamers by proclamations of massive, real-time, fully three-dimensional battle scenes being completely accessible to the gaming community at large. However, some veteran gamers were disap ...
