As in the original version, players have to establish a running economy in a fictitious world based around the 5th century BC. The building of a good road layout is essential to the gameplay. The transport system has to be optimized in order to guarantee the most efficient transportation of goods along their production chains. The soldiers who are basically the end product of this economy, are mostly controlled in an indirect way, similar to the flow of economic goods. The main gameplay enhancement over the classic game is much easier upgrading of soldiers in their barracks.

Three of the original types of population Romans, Nubians and Chinese are included in the single player campaign with 10 missions as well as numerous additional maps. There is a map editor and the game can also import maps from the original game. Multiplayer mode with a matchmaking Internet lobby is available.
