- Legion
The Roman legion will replace the swordsman. You can create them by leveling your warriors. The Legion has 40 combat strength and is very useful if you want to tackle the conquest of territories in the early stages.
Note that you can also use Legion to build a limited number of roads and they won't die in the process. Also, be mindful of service costs.

Housing is one of the major changes in the new part. The growth of your city depends on the quality and affordability of urban housing.
The Roman Baths building replaces plumbing and uses its own tiles, similar to the City Center and other areas. To build it, you must research the Engineering technology as quickly as possible.
The tiles you will be using should be near a city, river, or any other source of water. This will give you +6 to housing, or +2 if there is already a water source near your city. Also, the Bath increases happiness by 1. Its construction is crucial for increasing your population.
Which victory to choose
Rome's abilities offer rapid growth and advancement in civics, so expect to win the culture and space race. It will take a long time to reach the modern era, but your hard work will pay off.
While playing as the leader Trajan, you will have access to a decent amount of housing, coins and culture. However, veterans of the series may find Trajan too easy a choice to complete. If you want to challenge yourself, try to get a religious victory.
However, it is best to opt for a cultural and scientific victory. Rome's rich history and culture is no different from what we see in the game, so it's best to keep in mind that Rome and Trajan receive bonuses from everything related to culture and wonders. Building classics like the Colosseum will bring you +2 Culture and +3 Amenities in 6 nearby tiles.
Build cities around the Colosseum to get related bonuses.
You must also work on the Bolshoi Theater stage to get +2 Great Writer and Great Musician. Focus on tourism and increase the number of wonders you create. Achieving a cultural victory must be combined with policies that will help you increase your production of miracles.
