Roman Empire — 117 A.D.

The Roman Empire at its height, 117 A.D.: 41 provinces from Britannia to Mesopotamia. Free turn-based strategy in your browser, nothing to install.

A third of the routes on this board are Mediterranean sea lanes, which makes it far more open than its shape suggests: Africa can strike Italia without touching Gaul. Holding the imperial core is worth +5 a turn and draws every neighbour at once, so the usual winning shape is to take a quiet frontier province first and grow inward.
