The best of the Caesar series for me!
I am a sucker for ancient Roman history: It started when I was 5 years old and still strong today: I tried all of the Caesar series so I can compare.... Caesar 2 my favourite so far: offering the perfect balance. Caesar 1 was the most realistic, but suffered from really ugly graphics and dreadful interface which seriously hindered playability. Caesar 3 was just a plain Roman tetris clone where your enemies where the stupid mechanics, but offered cute graphics... and Caesar 2's interface! C2 stands in the middle, closer to the original: A really wonderful interface, cutsey graphics, and quite realistic. Actually the province level (killed in Caesar 3) is much better than the original, and let you control production of natural resources to be processed into goods, and control the trade much better! It also started with the walker mechanics (when you are forced to place 2-3 markets next to a house to ensure that house has access to it, you'll understand, plus only markets and factories have that problem), but it is not as horrible as in Caesar 3. And maps are WAY bigger than Caesar 4, so you have the perfect balance between realism, building freedom and enjoyment as a game. Many other mechanics are a bit hidden, like unemployment, unrest, etc, but make a lot of sense: A very different culture, or lazyness into "Romanizing" trival towns can cause riots, pe, so is not only unemployment and taxes, like modern games.... This game looks simple at a first glance, but o boy, it turns out to be deep and complete! I miss many of Caesar 1 and 2 features into 3 and 4, to the point I don't play the last two at all anymore as they where amazing at the time but aged like milk! This one should not disappoint you if you love realistic strategy games and history.
