Quaint but easy after a while.
Imperium Romanum is a decent little strategic city builder. You have to make sure everything is catered for, Build Houses, ensure the Clay Pits, Woodcutters iron/stone/marble/gold mines are staffed by pops to provide building materials, ensure there is enough slaves to carry the resources and that pops have a shrine to worship in, clean water and a prefecta to put out fires/catch criminals, that farms grow enough crops and bakers/butchers and markets are well supplied to provide food to the populace to stop them leaving your city or rioting/becoming criminal. The game is a balancing act to which you try to get the population from being poor in 1st tier buildings to a Domus and then to having enough entertainment, religious, food/water, jobs and security in order to move the populace into fourth/final tier 'Villas' that reflect the status of your city while at the same time, completing mission tablets (tasks) given to you by the senate in order to complete the scenario which offer either a task, a reward or a penalty to stir things up. In some scenarios, you require a Barracks/Archery/Stable supplied with cloth and weapons to fend off Barbarian raids. Comes with an expansion sending you to Brittania, Germania, Africa and the Civil War, about 16 new maps. But doesn't offer anything in ways of challenge, apart from more randomness in the tablets section. After a while the game gets repetitive once you figure out how the mechanics of the game works? There isn't really much to it once you've figured it out. Tends to be Build a City, have this many pops, build these buildings, get a buff as a reward, "Get double stone/wood production for 10 mins", "Senate gives you 2000 Denarii" OR you get hit with a penalty "No Wheat production for 9 min", "Fires break out in your city" for example in order for the game to spice up the difficulty with a random event. Gave me a good 25 hours of gameplay. Wait for a GOG Sale, not worth £7.99.
