If you liked old school city building sims, you'll love this one. Similar weakness in combat as Caesar 2 + 3.

Overall I really like this one. It has great building mechanics with only a few minor kinks in it that I have found so far. Thinking that this game comes well after the Caesar 3/Pharaoh city building era, and the development of so many battlefield RTS games, I expected the combat to be much better. The combat is rather poor but all-in-all the construction side makes up for it. However, I would like this game with or without the combat. The editor is easy to use. The object selection is a bit on the shallow side but the detail of the water, trees, and textures is superb. Camera angles are a nice twist and an interesting challenge to make a city that looks good with every view.
