#Caesar iv review series#

The time has come for the series to gain a new member. Although Caesar fans didn?t welcome the new title very well and rather kept playing and creating more and more maps for the original game, it was clear to everybody that it was the first step towards a new ?era? of province governing.Įight years have passed since the Romans gained a special place in our hearts.

In 2004 Tilted Mill Entertainment tried to revolutionize the genre with Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile that used a 3D game engine instead of the usual fixed isometric view allowing free camera rotation and a good level of zoom. Soon after a bunch of other great civilizations inspired city builders trying to take away its crown (Pharaoh and its expansion Cleopatra, Zeus and the Poseidon expansion, Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom). Despite some minor setbacks to the gameplay, Caesar III almost defined a genre of its own. This is probably one of the most renowned games ever. In 1998, Impression Games set a new standard for city building games with the third addition to the Caesar series.
