Would be great if it worked

You'll probably notice a few other people complain about a bug where workers are idle. There are a few work-arounds to this problem (I find that re-launching the game and randomly futzing with the graphics settings helps about half the time) but the fixes are only temporary. This is a huge bummer, as the four hours I had in my first launch of the game were very fun and scratched a very deep city-building itch I've had for a while. If there's ever a patch of this game that permanently fixes the issue, I'll happily revise this review to be five stars.

You can almost everything ...

CivCity: Rome is very modable. The number of workers per shop (temples), up to 6 in most cases. Fishing jetty is one exception, adding a worker just won't work.

Enjoyable but too often reptitive.

Overall a fun little game with a decent campaign but not very repayable due to the repetitive nature of each mission. But the games downsides become too noticeable: - Noticeable glitches with workers can occur especially with more modern operating systems. This can lead to workers being unresponsive. - Research is EXTREMELY repetitive. Rarely does it add much depth instead you will often find yourself doing nothing on later missions as you are just waiting for research after research to finish as they are necessary for for higher civilization ratings, happiness etc. Some campaign missions should start with at least some of the basics researched so you aren't researching the same thing again and again. - Placement of monuments, gardens, fountains etc. even wonders and most of your temples is often best done absurdly out of the way. As one of the key components of the game is making sure your productive buildings are within range of each other the best strategy for buildings that give a flat bonus is to place them in otherwise unusable terrain far away from your actual city with as little interaction with your populace as possible.

Excellent learning curve

After having read some of the other comments, foremost it might be interesting to mention the following: # on a Win7-64bit-system I hadn't a single crash and I alt-tabbed a lot # I did NOT experience the often mentioned bug of workers staying idle, I suspect that it isn't a bug at all but a game mechanic which is described in the game: every citizen/worker has a certain time for work, for sleep and for getting all those necesseties of life like meat, tunics, olive-oil etc., additionally they have only a certain range of operation. I had fun with the game. The military side of the game you can either call underdeveleoped or, as many city-builders probably prefer it, not very important. Most of the campaign-scenarios don't include any military. In those that do, it adds a certain urgency and spice but you won't have the fun of really marching around your legions in any tactical or strategical sense. What impressed me: The way the game introduces you to the various features and buildings is really well done, smooth and fun. Additionally excellent descriptions and really helpful hints and tips can be found at every start of a scenario. If you like those city-building games, I guess, you'll have fun, too. CivCity:Rome is well made.

Simple casual fun.

If you want a casual forgiving city builder then this is the game for you. The game looks nice and runs smoothly. The voice acting is hilariously hammy and I love it. The citicens have funny comments every so often. A negative could be that the maps feel a tad small so your cities "need" to be rather compact. Don't expect anything deep. It's a very casual type of game so if you're fresh of one of the Sierra City Builders and looking for a new challenge then this is probably going to bore you. I had fun and completed both campaign branches in roughly 20 hours.
