You'll need to build vineyards and wineries, olive orchards and presses, colleges and podiums, theaters and drama schools. These are basically cosmetic changes to Pharaoh and Caesar, but they certainly add a lot of believability to the game. The game has a suitably Grecian flavor (olives?) in terms of the industries and cultural diversions. Blurring the lines between history and myth, Zeus is able to add layers of excitement on top of the more restrained game design of the earlier titles.Īs the name implies, Zeus is set in the world of the Ancient Hellenes (Greeks to you and me). Even better, Zeus takes the slightly mythic flavor of Pharaoh and Cleopatra and runs with it. While I was a fan of Caesar and Pharaoh, this third installment in Impression's city building series fulfills a lot of the latent potential in the previous games. Other, seemingly minor differences, in citizen behavior and the management of goods, may provide interesting new strategic challenges, even for accomplished veterans of the earlier games While the basic gameplay in Zeus is similar to those titles, the interface has been rearranged somewhat. Zeus was developed by Impressions Games, the same team that created other city-building games such as Pharaoh and the successful Caesar series. Leaders of more advanced cities can even create buildings to appease an angry god or summon a great hero, like Perseus or Hercules. As the city develops, different types of workers become available offering more services to the community. Some will trade, some will farm, some will patrol the streets, and (depending upon the kind of neighborhood they live in) some might even lounge around all day, just soaking up the culture. These townsfolk are put to work to keep the village running and to aid in its expansion and improvement. By marking certain areas for housing, citizens will begin to move in and populate the budding village.
Players start with an empty tract of land, full of possibility.
