Well, if you do like the classic Caesar games series you might like this one too. It plays very similar and allows you to build an ancient Roman city to your liking. Roads, water, food, baths, culture and entertainment have to be managed and your city has to be fortified and defended. There are lots of farms, raw materials and trade shops to run. The Plebeians do the work and have to be paid, while the Patricians do pay the taxes. Your city is alive and its denizens do go to the public baths, temples and theaters. The Olympic Gods are a bit too flippant depicted and by the time you can call on their favors they don't help you much... There is also a world map on which you do explore, trade and fight. Although it is heresy to call a formation of 200 men a Roman Legion... It is a new indie game and therefore has some childhood illnesses like bug or poor balancing but the core is good and should be made better over time by the developers. If you have to quarry marble is to be questioned but olive oil and Rome are inseparable. We need to plant olive groves. And the Romans die use the public baths nude of course. Even if the Pope does not allow it afterwards... I would give the game an 8 out of 10.
