I don't think this title is quite as good as Empire, the Chinese history flavored version that came out after, but it is very good. I give it the maximum rating because the expansion of Poseidon really ups the play value of the title. I'm also a sucker for the Hellenic mythology aspect of the game. First game in the series to have roadblocks, which utterly changed the game;play in so many ways, all for the better. Definitely worth playing if you like games of the city-building style.
