The game is pretty cool, but it just can't be perfect with the fire system, the buildings simply keep going on fire.
Gameplay - Excellent gameplay, but very un-original idea, as this is NOT the first Rome city builder type game. I admit that it's pretty addicting, but I lost addiction to it as soon as my game randomly crashed, but before that around 6 my buildings went on fire, as riot started. And guess what? The problem was they werent happy I didn't have any fountain, but I want them to explain - how can I build fountain if I don't have water source? And the only water source on the map is protected by Barbarians that wont surrender without fight, I had a reasonable army to defeat every Barbarian (in Dover, had high level Roman troops, around 6 squads), but I didn't have time to do it, as I had to worry about contiously re-building my Port that was constantly being set on fire, and my Patrician villas that were abandomed due to lack of hygiene.. 6/10
Overall - Simply disappointing game, that mostly explains the whole game. I thought this is gonna be fun, and wonder what.. there doesn't even exist any cheat that prevents buildings from going on fire - that's the worst thing, they should have at least made an option to disable fires, or add a cheat to disable it.. But no, they didn't. Buy this game if you like challenging games, because you'll get a lot of challenge by having to demolish every building that's on fire, and then try to remember what that building was, especially when you demolished 6 houses in 5 seconds.
