"Imperium Romanum" Set to Conquer North America in March 2008

SouthPeak Games, Kalypso Media, and Haemimont Games Collaborate to Release Epic Historical Strategy Title for PC

GRAPEVINE, TX - Feb 6, 2008 - Take the future of an empire into your hands in "Imperium Romanum", an historical strategy title for PC created by Kalypso Media and Haemimont Games and will be published by SouthPeak Games in North America in March 2008.

Imperium Romanum puts the player in the role of a governor of a province, where he or she must strive to build a well organized, prosperous and commanding settlement. Set in the time of the Roman Empire at its peak, players will marvel at the incredible attention to detail as they construct fortifications, towers, gates and bridges, while paying for them with a new currency. Imperium Romanum is a challenging, enjoyable, and authentic quest to rule the world.

With missions based on real events and locations and enhanced by elements like crime and economics, Imperium Romanum is the complete historical strategy gaming experience. Impressive graphics showcase historically accurate buildings, natural disasters, and siege machines, as well as an improved battle system where the player commands their armies. The missions are interactive, so the players activate the goals when they choose.
