"Grand Ages: Rome," developed by Haemimont Games and published by Kalypso Media, is a city-building and real-time strategy game set in the ancient Roman Empire. Released in 2009, it aims to capture the grandeur and complexity of managing a thriving Roman city. Here's a review of "Grand Ages: Rome": Visual Presentation (4/5): The game boasts a visually pleasing representation of ancient Rome, with well-designed buildings, landscapes, and character models. The attention to historical detail is commendable, creating an immersive environment. While not groundbreaking, the graphics contribute to the overall appeal of the game. Gameplay Mechanics (3.5/5): "Grand Ages: Rome" follows the traditional city-building formula, allowing players to construct and manage various aspects of a Roman city. The economic system involves resource management, trade routes, and production chains. While the mechanics are solid, they might feel somewhat familiar to players accustomed to other city-building titles. The lack of some advanced features seen in other games in the genre may limit strategic depth. Campaign and Missions (3.5/5): The game features a campaign mode that takes players through various historical periods of ancient Rome, presenting different challenges and objectives. While the campaign provides a structured experience, the missions can feel somewhat linear, and the narrative may not be as engaging as in other strategy titles. City Management (3.5/5): Building and managing your Roman city is a key aspect of the gameplay. The ability to customize and upgrade structures adds a layer of complexity. However, the city management aspect lacks some of the intricacies found in more complex city-building games, potentially making it more accessible to casual players. Military and Warfare (3.5/5): "Grand Ages: Rome" incorporates military elements, allowing players to train and command armies for defense and conquest. The real-time battles are relatively straightforward, and while they add variety to the gameplay, the tactical depth may not satisfy those seeking more complex warfare mechanics. Multiplayer (3/5): The game includes a multiplayer mode where players can compete against each other in city-building challenges. While it offers a change of pace from the single-player experience, the multiplayer aspect may not be as robust or engaging as in other strategy games. Learning Curve (4/5): "Grand Ages: Rome" features a relatively accessible learning curve, making it suitable for players new to the city-building and strategy genre. The tutorial guides players through the basic mechanics, and the intuitive interface aids in managing the city efficiently. Sound Design (3.5/5): The game's sound design contributes to the atmosphere, with suitable background music and sound effects. While not groundbreaking, the audio elements enhance the overall experience without becoming a standout feature. Overall (3.6/5): "Grand Ages: Rome" offers an enjoyable city-building and strategy experience set in the glory days of ancient Rome. While it may not revolutionize the genre, its solid mechanics, accessible learning curve, and attention to historical detail make it a suitable choice for players looking for a straightforward and visually appealing city-building game with a Roman twist.

Tbh I don't even remember when or how I picked this up, must have gotten it on sale at some point, then later discovered it again in my library and decided to give it a try. The UI is a bit clunky at times, building streets can be fiddly and the tutorial is a bit basic and doesn't necessarily do a great job of explaining which buildings you want at the start to stop your people from getting unhappy. But boy, oh boy, is this a hidden gem. The mechanics might require some getting used to with how you need to cluster, but other than that building placement and freedom exceeds a lot of games that are 10-15 years newer and had way more budget, graphics are really solid for its age and you can still build some amazing looking cities. If you are looking for min-maxing and super complicated production chains there might be better titles, but if you want to build a cool looking Roman city, this is the best game I know. Great atmosphere and, surprisingly, really good music as well, even if I wish there were more different tracks.

City and real estate developers should play this game to understand you need to feed people and make them happy before you just start building a bunch of things nobody wants
