There are two modes to play in Caesar II. Caesar II takes a few steps forward and adds an expanded commerce, trading goods and the bloody, military side of Rome. Of course, the two games are very similar, but it's not as simple as saying "Caesar II is Sim City 2000 but in Roman times!", because it's not. Caesar II is, after all, a city building sim at heart. I've compared this game to Sim City 2000 at least twice now, and I think it's a valid comparison. And once the really rich citizens start moving in, and the houses begin to look fancy, they'll be asking for really expensive and elegant things, like, say, a colosseum or a chariot race track.

Sim City 2000 was one of my all time favorite games, but I felt that it lacked the ability to personally see what your Sims are up to during the day. The first thing that appealed to me about this game was the fact that you can see your citizens wandering around the street.

When you have achieved the necessary requirements, you'll be able to start all over again in a new and more challenging province. for which you can then create markets in your city. You also have to connect all the little villages in the province with roads and make some industry, like stone mining, grapes, etc. To do this you'll have to manage the water supply properly, make sure the city is policed well, and provide adequate education, entertainment, baths, and temples (which also hold your money and can be robbed if you don't have enough protection).Īt some point, possibly more then once, you'll have to defend your province from invading tribes that don't really want you there. You start with one province and have to build an efficient city. Caesar II is set in the time of ancient Rome, and lets you try to be the next Caesar.
