The game still holds decent value and the $39.99 retail price ain't that bad. If you're a Caesar fan, you can't help but to buy it. Your advisors are really helpful as well, or at least the interface, because they give detailed information of what your city may be lacking.Īs far as military battles, they're cute. Structures such as insulae, markets and religious structures grow in evolution as your city becomes prosperous (but is can also work the other way around). It's cool to watch the evolution of buildings. If you're new to the Caesar series, you'll have a tough time meeting your goals, even on EASY! On a lighter note, Caesar 4 still has that addictive gameplay caused by wanting to design a city that flourishes. Though earlier civilizations in Egypt and India also built aqueducts, the Romans improved on the structure and built an extensive and complex network across their territories. Aqueducts were amazing feats of engineering given the time period. For instance, when you're building on the edge of the map, you're restricted from scrolling further to get the edge on the middle of your screen, which makes it really annoying when you're trying to fit a pump house on the bottom-right portion of the monitor and you can't see exactly where the water is at. The Roman aqueduct was a channel used to transport fresh water to highly populated areas. Even scrolling to the edge of the map has its restrictions. Especially when you're trying to rotate views, yikes - a few twists and turns and you're ready to barf. For one, the game speed is quite slow and I'm running a 3.4GHz proc with a nVidia 256MB video card on medium settings - THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN! TM needs to do something quick to address that issue.Īlso, the map interface is clumsy. I'm a big Caesar fan but I was a little disappointed in this release. By dserafic | Review Date: OctoTilted Mill does a good job in keeping with the same feel of previous Caesar's and revamping it to the point where it still feels new.but that's about it.
