The Romans

Quality over Quantity

The Romans bring a new aspect to Age of Empires Online - Officers.

Officers are powerful, semi-heroic Units that greatly impact battles and increase the effectiveness of your other Units. Having Officers in your army can quickly make the difference between a decisive victory and a crushing defeat.

The Romans Units are fairly well-rounded, like their Greek counterparts, but are also generally more expensive and even more bottle-necked by their Economy.

Utilize Roman Engineers to greatly speed up Building construction while your Villagers spend more time gathering resources rather than constructing Buildings.
