Totally unjustified bad review! If the reviewer has problems with his crappy computer does not mean everyone has!
User Rating: 10 | Imperium Romanum PC
I've been playing City-Building games since Caesar II. Imperium Romanum is perfect in realism. The game is slow paced and you really get a feeling of achievement when you can build a theatre, the Colosseum or the Circus Maximus...in other citybuilders you can build these before anyone lives in your city which is not realistic. Here you need to build up your city step by step. The environment is beautiful and the music is very relaxing. The game is actually so well designed that some reviewers consider it a flaw: there's no need for micromanagement if you plan you city well...you may just let it "live" by itself! Sometimes, when i've built a Metropolis, i like to leave it for an hour by itself and check later on if the balance of my city was well done and my citizens are still happy... some reviewers seem like they would like to face problems where they can micromanage. The interface is so easy to use and disappears when you don't need it so you can really enjoy the view of your city! The military aspect is basic on purpose! Haemimont has produced some of the best military games in the past (see Celtic Kings) but this is a city-builder...not a wargame.
Pros:
- Relaxing music (it's a city-building, not an ego-shooter)
- Beautiful environment
- realistic growth
- Many historical Buildings
- Lots of historical information
