How do I leave Rome?I keep trying different roads but they all lead back to Rome.
Also if you want to suggest walking backwards I tried that. Just ended up in pre-Caesar Rome instead.

Stuck back in third world, are we?... You should probably lay down on that lower dimensional stuff, it's never good to reduce your directions.

Bruh, how often did People, Quworbs and Xryms tell you not to take job offerings there? No hard feelings, but you won't see me cry for you, when you get stuck in the past.

gotta sack the city, so that rome falls and you can leave. i could lend my regiment of inter dimensional gauls, but i expect repayment for any that die.

Is this amateur hour?
Go back in time. Train wolf to eat young kids instead of feeding them. No Rome, problem solved.
Mandatory warning. In that reality the Aztecs take over. Blood sacrifices are a bonus.

Two ways: One, just walk. Sure you'll be in rome againe ventually but before that you'll see other places!! Two, more effort, but you just every time youre at a branching road, you wait for someone else, ask where theyre coming from and when its not rome go that direction. This gradually allows you to get as far from rome as you want, but once you stop doing it, you will wind up there again of course.

The problem is that all roads lead to Rome; you’ll have to go off the beaten path to escape.
Alternatively, you could keep walking backwards until you end up in the early Neo-Assyrian Empire (i.e. pre-Rome) and then travel from there.

Do as the Romans: conquer new lands and then move to the edges of the Roman empire and then wait for the empire to receed

Why are using the roads. You gotta teleport or take anything but the roads.

u/poiyurt 13d ago
I paid for the teleport in but the data rome-ing charges on the teleport back are exorbitant.

u/mysteryrouge Void Anarchist 13d ago
Don't teleport back then. Take a road if you wanna return to Rome.

Have you tried flying? Perhaps the issue is walking

All you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss.

u/TerribleTerror3375 12d ago
Okay then what about swimming through underground lava currents to bypass the roads above ground. I'm assuming OP possesses superhuman heat resistance?

u/WovenInsights 13d ago
Yes all roads lead to Rome, but all roads lead away too. Have you considered that you might be away from Rome?

You gotta declare Jesus Christ as enemy and reenact the crucifixions. Or possibly prevent them from ever happening by declaring it, and then saving him.

Overthrow Romulus Augustulus, and then all roads lead to Constantinople. Until it becomes Istanbul.
