In Expeditions: Rome, there are many difficulties and various settings. Each difficulty is named after a famous Roman, and there are two extra settings that players can select.

It is tempting to pick Normal (Caesar) difficulty, but the series is incredibly unforgiving. We recommend Easy (Augustus) if you have never played XCOM or Divinity: Original Sin on their Normal difficulties.

While we can debate the inaccuracy of the descriptions of these Romans, we’d rather point you in the right direction.

Keep Iron Man off if you haven’t played it before since you’ll want to experiment, so don’t try this one.

Combat Death is really a matter of personal preference, but we recommend keeping it on. It’s as real as games can get because it makes losing party members more realistic. The game mentions praetorians, which really just means your personal guard members.
