One of the best ever!

User Rating: 9.5 | Caesar III PC
One of the best pc games ever, period. Regardless of genre. City building at its finest. This game was a quantum leap from Caesar 2 and "Plebs are needed." For 1998 graphics were excellent. Game play is fantastic, except for the "dumb" walkers, but you can get around this easily. You start off as a citizen and are given the task of starting settlements. As you govern you are graded in four areas, prosperity, culture, peace and favor (your popularity with the senate and people of Rome). Once you have reached the stated goals in each category, usually a population requirement also, you are promoted. You can choose either military or peaceful missions. The cities you govern are scattered throughout the empire. You deal with requests from Caesar,restless natives, sometimes aggressive enemies, and most importantly your citizenry. Once you have completed all the missions you are crowned Caesar! Still worth a play 8 years after release.
