Chapter 156: The Founding Of A Nation (3)
The introduction of his chosen new technologies went off without a hitch, in fact, Julius was the only one who seemed surprised at all.
The commoners and even his noble retainers all simply accepted the coins and didn’t notice a change at all, some even bragging about how no other nation out there would have coins like these.
The system it seems is truly terrifying.
So next on the agenda would be the foundation of Julius’s capital city, but he could not use the old Imperial capital’s name, no not now at least so instead, he informed his retainers about his desire to found what he called "The Eternal City" so with a company of his Praetorians, Yuri, Zeff, and Miri set off from the port city of Nova Carthage and arrived at a location most befitting Rome’s resurrection a plot of land central to their territory with 7 sprawling hills just like the 7 hills of Roma.
Having arrived after a few hour’s ride by horse back Julius gazed around, to his company he seemed to be lost in thought and in awe of his surroundings but really he was busy utilizing his system his build points are limited but the first building as selfish as it might seem was going to be his Palace.
The first building in the game was always free to purchase, and that is of course because the first building would be one to cement the ruler’s authority over their people.
The Palace was a building that normally cost 2000 points minimum but with this one action Julius would gain a free home, now all that was left would be the choice of where to build it.
Without much hesitation Julius chose the center of the 7 hills just like his predecessors on Earth, the Palatine Hill if you will.
A heads-up 3-D displayed palace appeared in his view allowing him to rotate or move the building around until his final choice was made.
