Citizen of Rome: Dynasty Ascendant is a family and dynasty life simulator set during the Mid-Late Roman Republic. You live the life of a Roman citizen — attending festivals, participating in the Ludi, navigating social customs, educating children, arranging marriages, and sponsoring political careers up the Cursus Honorum. Play passes to the eldest son when your current character dies. There is no fixed end state, but the traditional ambition of any Roman family — landing a Consulship and becoming a "Novus Homo" — gives structure to the open-ended centuries of play.
