Most realistic Roman city building game!
I can't believe my luck! Caesar 1 and Caesar 2 where added to GOG.COM! If you are a sucker for historical accuracy, by far Caesar 1 is the closest you are ever going to get to realistic Roman city building so far! (well, if you are so picky you should go for the C64 original version who still uses "slaves" instead of "plebs", but otherwise is quite identical). Forget about walker mechanics and think closer to a realistic way, where you provide services and trade (ok, still has limitations, as buildings work on an "area of effect" basis, and being one square too far will mean that house can't access a market or bathhouse ). If we speak of mechanics Caesar 1 is superior to 2 and waaaay superior to 3, still it has its flaws which make me prefer Caesar 2, pe: What are those flaws comparing to C2? Well, to start an absolute dreadful interface: One of the worst I ever use on a strategy game!, the second one is that the province level pales in comparison with C2... Still, the city level is far superior. The music is as awesome as C2, and the graphics... well, they are quite bad, but they have their charm. I really recommend giving this game a try, and openly wish a reboot of this game with better interface. If you have patience and love realistic simulation, please spend some time getting used to the interface, and I promise you won't regret it! I started with C2 and played the original game less than a year ago. The hours it hooked me can't be counted, so I am not talking from a nostalgic point of view!. If you are a sucker for Roman history, you'll be amazed about the love and care put into this title: It is a bit like watching HBO'S Rome: Lots of artistic licenses (like saying Christians got killed before the supposed age Christ was born, but putting lots of other realistic details)... This game CAN make you feel like you are building a REAL Roman city... If you can have a blind eye with ugly graphics and horrible interface!
