Nova Roma

Nova Roma is an excellent example of a well planned map based on an ancient civilisation. The maker of this map knows his Roman society very well to capture the look and feel of life in a Roman town. My only complaint is, though well signposted, you could try and use both the latin and modern names for all the special buildings like the fort and the bathouse, this would make it feel "more Roman".

This is also an excellent survival map, the suffocatingly narrow streets (like a typical Roman town) make it an ambushers paradise. This player frequently had to resort to parkour tactics to try and keep one step ahead of the baddies.

All up a very interesting map, fun to play and scary when you get jumped by creepers in them narrow streets.

Also: What have the Romans ever done for us?

Thank you for the comment. This map was loosely based on Roman cities, but you can obviously tell by the look of it that its not very Roman. I am working on a new map that I will update regularly that is fully Roman based. Currently its not very large in overall size but the buildings are designed after real Roman structures, and I will start using full Latin for the signs.
