Two ways to play
A campaign in chapters, each with its own map, objectives, and the events the sources record. Year of Fire follows the Roman command from the rout at Beth Horon in 66 AD to the siege of Masada, with the Judean side told in its own voice in the codex.
Pick any power on the historical map and hold on: conquer, trade along the silk roads, spread a faith, or simply keep your capital as rivals grow bolder every year. Four difficulty levels, from Tribune to Imperator.
History, not fantasy
The in-game codex explains every historical event and cites where it comes from: Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, and many others. Where the game follows a tradition or invents something, the entry says so, clearly labeled Legend or Alternate History.
History
Built about 81 AD
After Titus died in 81, an arch was raised to the deified Titus at the top of the Sacred Way in the name of the Senate and People of Rome. One relief inside shows the triumph: soldiers wearing laurel carry the menorah, the table of the showbread, and the silver trumpets toward a gate. The arch still stands, and its relief is the most famous ancient image of the Temple's lampstand.
Legend
70 AD
Rabbinic tradition tells that Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai, seeing the city doomed, had his disciples carry him out of Jerusalem in a coffin, as if dead. Brought before the Roman commander, he greeted him as emperor, and when the prophecy came true he asked for Yavneh and its sages. There, after the destruction, the rabbis rebuilt Jewish life around study, prayer, and law instead of sacrifice.
