Romulus and Remus is an 8bit side scrolling turn based strategy game, where you play as either Romulus or Remus, the brothers who founded Rome.

In R&R, you build up a city on one of the seven hills of the area that would soon become Rome, and wage was against your brother, either Romulus or Remus. Build your city through building levels and upgrades, allowing you to recruit better units and defenses for the inevitable day when the Barbarians some knocking. Use these units to capture the surrounding lands and build outlying settlements. The first person to conquer all seven hills wins, and has the newly founded city named after them. each hill has bonuses and drawbacks, which combine to create a dynamic style of play in which the player must balance war, trade and city management to keep the cities from revolting against him. The art style would be in 8bit, as I think this would give the game a very happy feel, and would improve the replay-ability, as people would find the game light and fun.

The overall concept of the game was inspired by Reus, but the immediate setting and basic mechanics were inspired by the myths of the Capitoline wolf, who raised Remus and Romulus in roman mythology, Romulus of course going on to kill his brother and found Rome.
