Good graphics, nice atmosphere but too easy and lacking of depth and complexity. The military: a disaster!

User Rating: 6.5 | Glory of the Roman Empire PC
By lupo72 | Review Date:
Though some nice graphics and a number of good ideas (the family of four, the population of slaves and a few more), the game lacks of the necessary complexity and depth and eventually fails to be really challenging. Some people will find it maybe disappointing.
The game is quite easy: You won't get any special problems with money, population, growth. There's no taxes, no bad Gods, no calamities, so you won't need any special effort to run your city well. I found especially the military very disappointing. Towers are very ineffective, soldiers defend your city automatically. Barbarians come to ravage but not to destroy. Caesar III was (and maybe still is) a much better and challenging game!
