Rome has always been a super power when it comes to empire building, and this version of them in Civ 6 is no different. This Civilization is very well rounded and great for new players to the genre, or old players looking to learn the new ins and outs of Civilization 6.
Rome's Leader
For once, we aren't seeing Caesar here, but instead Trajan. While not as popular with Hollywood, Trajan was probably one of the most important Roman emperors, and was responsible for much of the infrastructure Rome is so famous for. His ability 'Trajan's Column' gives him a sizeable cultural boost in the early game by giving him a monument in his starting city, and every city he settles. Each monument gives a +2 to culture, so expanding with settlers early to take advantage of this is key.
Rome's Special Feature
They say that all roads lead to Rome, it's time to make that a reality! With this special feature, any time you settle a new city or conquer one, if a road can be built to Rome from it, then one will be built automatically, for free, and instantly. Each city will have a trade post automatically built in it as well providing a gold a turn. This will again encourage Rome to expand quickly to take advantage of these benefits in as many cities as possible.
Unique District: Baths
This district replaces the aqueduct district that other civilizations will get. It can help any city immensely. If the city isn't located near water then this will provide an extra 6 housing to the city, allowing it to grow to a much larger size much quicker, while staying happy from the one amenity it provides as well.
Unique Unit:Legion
The Roman legion, one of the true defining factors of playing as Rome. These units are much more powerful than the swordsmen they replace, and don't require iron to produce. On top of those already sizeable benefits, they can build roads and Roman fortresses as well. For a small sum, you can upgrade any warriors you have to Legion as soon as you get the iron making technology. The legion does cost more than the warriors in upkeep though, so keep that in mind so you don't cripple your economy upgrading your forces.
Playing as the Romans with these benefits will provide you with a strong early game to expand and forge your empire, but they will drop off late game if you don't utilize that early game lead well. Focus on expanding, either through settlers or through military, and build up your infrastructure early so you can keep up with some of the more late game civilizations despite any bonuses they may have while yours are now obsolete.
