By far the best citybuilder, and best overall game, I've ever played. Bought it several times since 2000, and it was difficult to get hold of a fresh copy with full features until GOG.com brought it back to life. The highly detailed graphics of each building and person is amazing, with four directions to oggle at them from. Each individual type of building and worker, trader, god, hero, has something different to say depending on your city's quality and their role in it. All voiced fantastically. The AI and continuity of your workers allows you to micromanage where you want, then leave the city to keep ticking over without any problems. The UI is in theme and easy to use. The only faults in this game are the lack-lustre battles and how its replay value is slightly diminished after several thousand play throughs... If anyone can up the difficulty of Olympian for me I'd be grateful ;) But it's still rewarding to see how many rich estates and cavalry squandrans a tiny city can support.
