Attract heroes, defeat monsters, and make your people happy in this real-time strategy game from the makers of Pharaoh.
Attracting a hero to your city to defeat a monster is just one of many goals that you may be asked to achieve as you make your way through the adventures in Zeus: Master of Olympus. An adventure may begin in the Greek wilderness, where you will be asked to establish a city from whatever scant resources the rocky landscape has to offer. Then, you may need to establish a colony on more fertile shores to ensure that your city receives the supplies it needs to sustain itself. Once the colony is established, it's back to the parent city, where you might build a sanctuary to a god of your choosing, conquer another city, or fend off a monster. A god might even ask you to undertake a quest to retrieve a mythical item, such as Hermes' Winged Sandals or the Golden Fleece. From there, who knows? Maybe you'll need to establish another colony, or maybe you'll need to continue building the parent city.
I used to own this game, and it was one of the best PC games for city building ever.
Cons
I lost my version so I tried to download this one and all I got was an error message. This is the reason I rated the demo lower.
Summary

Pros
it's easy to play and understand, its very addictive for those who like to be constructive, its more like running the administration of a real city and this proves to be educational in developing our skill of administration.
Cons
the city space is limited, only one scenario can be played, i wish they could have added some more facilitiues to the game

Pros
This game is amazing. It allows you to have full control of a city in the greek ages. YOu have many options of different buildings to build and is somewhat easy to learn. There is a lot of physics in this game and will take some time to learn all of them and how to work with them.
<p>
<p>Graphics are good, they are similar to any other city-building game, and maybesomewhat improved. Sound is good, but could be improved.
<p>
<p>Not only is it city building but it also has military building and has it possible for you to conquer another city in Greece.
<p>
<p>I would recommend this for all city-building and strategic gamers.
Cons
The sound can be improved, or more of taking out the annoying randomizing sounds.
<p>
<p>That's about it. Nothing bad at all.
Summary
If you are looking for wars.. better go for AOE.
Pros
Cons
Summary
this is a city admintration game.
importance of war is very small, the wars are not detailed or exciting. It is about building a city, making it survive. keeping it safe from unfriendly Gods with the help of friendly Gods.
so if you like thrilling wars and action go for age of empires.
