00:00By decree of his radiant might, the Emperor, you, young governor, have been generously relocated to the soggy, sheep-strewn fringes of the Roman Empire.
00:16While I wouldn't even put one sandal in Albion, you're braver than most, and now the choice is yours.
00:23Will you protect Celtic tradition or enforce Roman ambition?
00:29You are far from the marble columns of Latium, and with that distance comes freedom.
00:37The freedom to govern as you choose, to civilize the land or be changed by it.
00:44You must be starving from the exhausting boat ride over, so warm your toga and fill your belly at the local tavern with a hearty meal of roast beef and beer.
00:56Oh, and their cheese pairs surprisingly well with wine. Don't ask how I know.
01:02Maintain Celtic ways to learn their myths and melodies at the Bardic Hall, or test your physical might at the recreation grounds.
01:14If you're truly craving a taste of home, Romanize and build the Grammaticus or the theater.
01:22Befriend the smiths, their forges, glorious. With copper tin and silver flowing from these hills, no wonder Varda's army strikes like thunder.
01:33Oh, and a word to the wise. Varda will notice your Roman ways, and if pushed too far, you'll need to be ready for battle.
01:42Their gods, strange as they seem, carry weight. Epona blesses horses, making cards travel faster over stilted roads.
01:54Cernonos enriches forests. Learn the ways of their gods, and your rule may go more smoothly.
02:01You live in duality, but you will always be a Roman, so you can either govern like one, or be a sympathetic leader.
02:14Just imagine this marshland filled with terracotta roofs, paved roads, bathhouses.
02:20Oh, civilization. This place is wild. From wicker men to mystical Celtic rites. But it is also your blank slate.
02:33So will you rule with a Roman fist, or a Celtic touch? What happens next? That's up to you. You can take it from here.
02:50Like you won.
02:53Like him.
