Fail and you’ll end up as lunch for the lions. Prove your strength of mind and spirit and you just may be crowned Caesar!

sound bug

I have loved this game for as long as I hav eknown it but currently the sound loop that it uses glitches after 3 seconds and starts over rather than playing the full loop then playing again. I dont see any help on the forum or in the GOG help stuff. maybe im not looking right but I want people to know about this issue. The sound is the best part of the game. I am using a fresh windows 10 install. Please help.

addictive

I can't play this game because if I sit down and starts, 6 to 8 hours will pass. Maybe one day when time and money isn't a problem anymore I can play it again.

Very good!

The one and only Rome city-builder, as far as I'm concerned. It looks pretty, sounds great and plays fantastic.
