CivCity: Rome, an innovative city builder inspired by the world of Sid Meiers Civilization, and created by a collaboration between Firefly Studios and Firaxis Games, invites players to shift focus from building a multi-city empire and zoom-in on the great cities of the Roman Empire, culminating in Rome itself! Through dozens of missions, each offering an array of interesting decisions, players will be charged with building, nurturing and managing one of these great cities as they endeavour to lead the Roman Empire from its humble beginnings to its mighty apogee. Features players have enjoyed in the Civilization series, like research, city happiness, production and culture, can now be managed actively in the wonderfully immersive world of CivCity: Rome.
Look inside the buildings - For the first time in a city builder you can look inside the Villas, the forums, and even the Roman baths! Discover, in much greater detail, how Romans went about their daily lives.
Civilize your city - More than 70 technologies can be developed over time to give your city a strategic advantage. Use the rich research tree to improve many aspects of your city and its relation to the wider empire.
Follow the life of a Roman family - Do they thrive and prosper from humble hut to noble palace as they move through the generations or not? Well, thats your call!
Ease of play - Driven purely by building placement and strong visual feedback, the game lets you create your own living community simply by choosing and placing the wide variety of buildings.
Real Romans - An intriguing array of characters will interact with you.
If you're looking for a Rome simulator with a reasonable difficulty level without too much micro-managing, then this game is for you. It's just good clean fun, without a huge learning curve.
2K has retroactively changed their EULA. Now they collect literally anything on your computer (including but not exclusively visited websites or payment information for example). Not sure if they are also installing rootkit like software in the gog version like they do in non gog versions.
gog should consider banning all 2k games because I dont think that their EULA complies with gogs vision...
Generell it is fun, but there are too many bugs which break the game, e.g. the people
do not collect their water what is crucial to upgrade their home.
In short: I love the game. I hate that it crashes.
In long: It's really good city builder. Challenging, requires planing and thinking. The gameplay evolves as the city evolves, since the housing needs to be rebuild multiple times on different locations, so there is no static universal layout.
I enjoyed playing the first few missions, and then the game crashed. And then again. And it keeps crashing. I'm sad, because I quite like the game.
If the crashes get fixed - I would add 4-th star to the review. The 5-th star would eventually be for modern resolution, but I am pretty sure this is pretty much impossible.
Quite simple and very enjoyable. It had a nice sense of progression, and an accessable learning curve for someone who isn't great at strategy games in general. However, it was held back by some annoying bugs to do with worker pathing an decision making that popped up every now and again, as well as the limited degree of endgame expansion. You get to the middle game and realise that that's the end of the road. Espescially pertinant to the research tree. Definitely enjoyed it though, also found the Civlopedia on this one very interesting. As a history buff who hasn't studied much of Rome, it's got some great historical facts strewn about.
