Is Caesar III a true SimCity?

The company line on Caesar III is that it’s SimCity set in the Roman Empire. That’s only partially true. You do run a city (or, rather, a series of cities) in a fashion somewhat like the classic urban management game, but the game mechanics of Caesar III are more akin to Blue Byte’s Settlers II.

Is Caesar III a good game?

Caesar III is one of my favorite games. Been playing the Demo version since 2000 and got the full game only in 2005, playing a lot in 2005-2006, then in 2008, and a little since October 2011, when I also published this page, originally strictly to show cities built by me.

Is Caesar 3 better than settlers 2?

Caesar III is a much better game than Settlers II, and combines some of the best elements of both that game and SimCity. But it manages to suffer from Settler II’s most glaring shortcoming: the combat system. What’s worse, it finds a shortcoming of its own with some problems that make efficient management often more difficult than it should be.
