Last Days of Rome

This is a simple web-based game where you play as a citizen in the failing Roman Empire. The emperor is trying to burn the city to the ground, and you must escape before it's too late.

How to Play

The goal of the game is to escape the city by reaching a Relocation score of 10. You lose if your Flames or Desolation score reaches 10.

Each turn, you roll the dice to see what happens in the city. The events will affect your scores.

You can also try to assassinate the emperor. This is a risky move, but if you succeed, you win the game (though you die a martyr).

Configuration

This project uses a SQLite database to store game data and configuration.

You can modify the game's configuration by clicking on the "Configuration" button on the main page. This will take you to a page where you can edit the score thresholds, win conditions, and event descriptions.
