Yield! Fall Of Rome redefines the 4X experience with its focused gameplay, meaningful decisions, and a fresh take on the genre.

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit …" wait, wait, wait! We're not here to reopen old wounds from Latin class.

Tired of strategy games where it takes dozens of turns for anything exciting to happen? Developer Billionworlds and Publisher Daedalic Entertainment are here to bring a revitalizing and focused approach back to 4X strategy.

Forge your Kingdom amidst the Ruins of Rome in this turn-based 4X strategy game! As the world crumbles, rebuild civilization and shape your people’s destiny. Unleash your strategic prowess, conquer provinces, and crush all who stand in your way.

The year is 401 AD, spring is in the air as the sun is slowly setting. What seems like a completely normal night by the river of the Rhine is turning out to be the beginning of the end for the world's longest lasting empire!

Yield! Fall Of Rome is a turn-based 4X strategy game with fast-paced tactical gameplay set in the time of the imminent fall of the Roman Empire. Conquer provinces, expand your dominion, and immerse yourself in the drama of ancient Rome’s final days.

If you’ve ever grown impatient waiting for your workers to build a scout in 7 turns, Yield! Fall Of Rome is the game for you. Forget endless micromanagement—every turn offers exciting decisions and impactful actions. Lead legendary tribes such as the Britons, Huns, and Franks against the all-mighty Romans, and dive straight into the heart of the action as you shape the destiny of the ancient world.

Shake off the dust of history, strap on your sandals, and get ready to storm the Roman Empire! 

Developer Billionworlds and publisher Daedalic Entertainment announced that Yield! Fall of Rome is charging into Steam Early Access today, and will remain so for 12-18 months.

“The game offers an introduction campaign and an always accessible in-game wiki to learn the basics. Besides that players can jump into the weekly campaign with highscores or have a randomized campaign for a faction of their choosing dynamically generated. In Multiplayer one can compete for a top spot on the leaderboard or play around with the extensive customization options vs bots or other players. The game fully supports gamepad and is playable on Steamdeck and similar devices. Since turn-based strategy games are quite hard and complex by nature, this game also has a quite steep learning curve for players not used to the genre, but still easier than a lot of the competitors”

“We have lots of ideas for new buildings, wonders, improvements, milestones, policies and units that we haven’t gotten to test yet. We’ve been considering to add crowns as a currency to be spent on upgrades and diplomacy in between campaign missions. We also know that we want each faction to stand out more and are considering to lend greater importance to their kings and adding unique buildings and improvements to each of them. Campaign design is important to us too and we hope to be able to tell the stories of more kingdoms and in greater detail than we currently do. We are also working on co-op multiplayer against the AI.
If competition is as important as we expect it to be to our players, we will consider adding a more in depth ranking system and to celebrate those ranks in game.”

The once mighty Roman Empire struggles to govern its vast realm. It is up to you to take advantage and lead your nation into the future.

  • Take command of one of eight playable factions* - each with unique units, buildings, strengths and weaknesses.
  • Individual Campaigns for each faction*- achieve long term objectives over multiple missions.
  • Advance your faction’s society according to the policies you choose - will you adapt Roman culture or keep the traditional ways?

*(limited at Early Access launch; more added with free updates during Early Access)

Your strategic choices will determine your fate. Every move counts, and every choice echoes through history. Victory awaits those who choose wisely. Will you build an empire or crumble like ancient ruins?

  • Focused 4X experience - explore, expand, exploit, exterminate.
  • Gameplay designed to focus on tactics - outwit your opponents in matches won't take all day.
  • Decide how to deal with the Roman presence on the map and outmaneuver your competitors - will you choose trade or conquest?
  • Fulfill a variety of objectives to earn Crowns - the first player to reach the set amount of Crowns wins the match!

Conquer provinces, expand your dominion, and immerse yourself in the drama of ancient Rome. Whether you focus on the grand scheme or individual battles - each mission, a fresh saga; each campaign, a new epic.

  • Campaigns: A string of solo challenges with overspanning objectives.
  • Multiplayer: Compete with other players in ranked and unranked matches.
  • Seasons: Aim for the top spots on the leaderboard and in additional dynamically generated Campaigns.
  • Custom games: Adjust the game to your liking - weight win conditions differently or even turn some of them off completely; give the Romans weaker or stronger presence; choose the map size from tiny to epic and decide for classic map borders or cylindrical wrapping.
  • You don’t have the time?: play by cloud and give each player up to 24 hours to make their turn.

Yield! Fall of Rome is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for 2026.
