:We had no idea what the Engineer was supposed to actually do in the game. The original Developers never decided, and everything we tried just didn’t fit. For a year, we went in circles to give him some kind of historically fitting, cool mechanic that was effective in the game but not overpowering. We are really excited with how the Engineer ended up. But it was a slog.
:So we didn’t know what he was going to do, but we knew it needed to be important. Early on, we decided that we really wanted the Engineer to be available immediately in Age 1 so he impacts the feel of the civ in a big way, so the Romans will start with one and be able to train more in Age 2.
: First, we returned to Siege. But rather than expertly buff Siege, the Engineer uses his expertise to dismantle enemy siege: he gets a bonus multiplier against them. So Engineers will both build your empire and defend it. And depending on playtesting, we may give him a limited buff to friendly Siege, too. So like the real Romans, you’ll want to take a few with you into battle.
:But that won’t keep him busy all game, and we also want the Engineer to make something unique that relates to Rome’s famous infrastructure. Rather than construct Roads, though, the Roman Engineer will construct something close, the Millarium (plural: Millaria).
