Customer Reviews

CivCity Rome
Starts out fun, but soon becomes impossible to play. You can never satisfy the town's people and although you are asked to build new homes for them, you have no more space to do so. A lesson in frustration...

Ancient Fun
This is just an awesome game. You learn a lot of the strategies as you progress through the game. It definately makes you think.

Combat Bugs ruined it.
Well its a great game after the patch is installed except for one crucial area...combat.
Put it to you like this. Sometimes your troops will not engage the enemy. Period. They will stand close by and die by the dozen while one or two fight valiantly. Then try to control them and you never know what your going to get.
I had full legions at times that wouldnt even leave the fort! Its a known bug but are they going to fix it since it basically ruins gameplay? Do NOT pay full price for this its not a completed game yet.

The game had major potential in the fun department until I ran into this issue. The economics of it are intriguing and very well done.
