Caesar 4 What Do We Think?

Pablo72 · 2 Nov 2006 at 16:42

I'm thinking about picking this game up, but have not seen any solid reviews for it.

I loved Children of the Nile and the original Pharaoh games, is this along the same lines?

Cheers

I found it a bit disappointing tbh.

If you're looking for more content than the previous games, keep looking. If you want the same game as 7 years ago with better graphics, buy this.

Just my opinion, and i'm not an expert on this type of game.

Caesar III is one of my all time faves. Pretty much perfect city-building, lets ignore the poor military aspect. Great game.

Would also like opinions on 4. If it's the same but nicer looking might be ok.

And yes, pharoah was great too. Building huuuge pyramids would take so damn long, while all the hovels stay poor

yer i loved pharoah too, altho not because of the pyramids. I just liked to trade and make loads of money

I think Il get this game even if it aint the best in the series, aint have a city builder since sim city 4.

III was good, didn't even know IV was out. heh

Its good actually, camera is annoying but can do settings ingame so its ok.

I just find it hard, spend hours doing a city all fine then bandits come and want 2k every 10 mins and i go in debt and get booted out -.-

Also, my girlfriend ditched ceasar 4 for and old game called Zeus!

I quite like it, although not had time to fully get into the game yet since I've been stuck with lots of university work recently

I'd give it about 9/10

Wasn't a huge fan of Zeus. Much preferred pharoah or caesar. Not sure why

, should probably give it another go.

I loved Zeus! I found it to be one of the most delightful and relaxing games ever! The music was sublime and the whole atmosphere was so mediterranean, it was like therapy! Found the caesar games to be much more hard work.

I really enjoyed Children of the Nile. I know it's a bit limited, but I find that game totally relaxing and great to look at.

Does anyone know if Caesar 4 is a similar game to COTN?
