description

The first, Caesar , let the player build cities, wage wars , and trade in a timeline, just like in the two successors in the Roman Empire . The graphic quality got better after each part. The successor of Caesar III was Pharaoh , whereby the same system in ancient Egypt, but now with a different structure and gods continued. An add-on was also released, which continued the history up to Cleopatra.

The ruler of Olympus - Zeus , who appeared on it, was based in ancient Greece like the add-on , but, in contrast to its predecessors, had a very comic appearance.

From Zeus onwards, the construction system of the series was changed a little, in which the block system, from which the cards consist, was limited to 4 block houses.

This was continued in The First Kaiser , which, however, again had a much more realistic graphic.
