CivCity Rome = Great Game for $0.99 on STEAM / Grand Ages Rome screenshots Added

[MentalIlness]

Picked up CivCity Rome on STEAM last night for $0.99

I played for four hours, and the was just the learning campaign and I must say, it is one of the most enjoyable City Builders that I have played. Very extensive game and VERY VERY hard on the graphics.

With "Ashley" in my sig, I was achieving a whole "3" yes three FPS on Ultra settings at 1024 resolution.

Do yourself a favor and grab it for a buck. Totally worth it.

I also picked up Grand Ages Rome and Imperium Romanum Gold Edition. Will post some shots of those once I play them.

Here are a few screens of CivCity.

Thinking about it...thinking about it....

I"m in for a buck. What the hell. It looks like something to play when my internet is down.

These here are from Grand Ages Rome. Another fantastic game. I'm not very far yet...but the visuals are gorgeous. And it is $2.00 on STEAM.

 

[MentalIlness]

Oh, and Grand Ages Rome supports all wide screen resolutions.

To my knowledge so far, Grand Ages Rome is like CivCity Rome, with Rome Total War battles.

I bought it a few days ago, haven't played it yet but I remember the reviewers hammered it because it fell short of other games of that type when it came out. Glad to hear I didn't waste a buck

Slave workers in the wheat fields....

I see the Grand Ages Rome price went up to $10 now. Or it looks like you can get both for about $5 if bought individual games.

I failed my first campaign attempt. Instead of training, I jumped right in and got my ass kicked

This game requires a little training. The building / civilization options are almost endless.

Stone/gold/iron/water/pigs/fields/marble and about 20 other resources are needed to build. Shit, my first attempt, I had 9 of my buildings burnt down because I had no outposts to protect them from the riot because I didnt have enough wood to build them.

Another great game.

civcity rome is pretty old game, i had it and it was like a clone of the old sierra's caesar games.

grand ages is probably an update to it.

I don't get it... how is being that hard on the graphics a good thing? It doesn't look good enough to do that, so I'd just call it really poorly optimized.

Grand Ages Rome looks infinitely more impressive. I can see that causing some slowness.

Well, I myself never said the slowdowns was a good thing. I said it had alot of slowdowns, but it was a very good game.

And yes, Grand Ages is vastly superior in visuals. But I also believe, Grand Ages is not an update to CivCity.

Gameplay while similar, seems simply different. Grand Ages to the trailers I have seen, Has Total War type battles.

 

[minmaster]

don't trust trailers... they did the same thing with tropico 3.

I don't trust trailers as much as the next person. But they were actual gameplay videos on Youtube. And the battles looked exactly like Total War.

Of course I haven't been in one yet, so I cannot confirm that.
