Rome keeps falling

I would like to give you a review of the game, but I can't. I've barely gotten to building the second city and THE GAME KEEPS CRASHING ON ME!!! Be warned. I've never had trouble from a game like this before. What little I have got to play it, I agree with the annoyance of all the submenus and having to click several times before a building stays put. It makes me long for the simple days of Caesar III.

Great Game!

I've been playing the demo now for a few weeks (the full game isn't out till the 26th of Sept.) and I love it!!
If this is just the demo and I'm loving it this much, I can't wait to get the real game..have preordered it, with the guide and the 26th can't come around soon enough.
It's the future of City Building games, and I love where we're going!

Game of the year!

After playing the demo so many times, this game can only get better when the full version is released and shipped throughout the world. The possibilities of the new military system, the naval battles promised and the completely revamped economic model make this a game that is a must have for any city building addict and even the casual gamer.

The system requirements are very heavy to make full use of all the spectacular graphical features the game has to offer, but it's worth splashing out to see what this game trully has to offer. City building has finally come of age with Caesar 4.

Great Game

This game is great if you have the right computer for it. I have an XP, so all I had to do to get this game to work smoothly was adjust the graphics a little. If you are looking for a world builder game, than I recomend that you look into this.

Caesar IV...the Decline of the Empire

Having been a huge fan of the Caesar franchise, I was dying to see what new features the newest offering, Caesar IV, had in store. Unfortunately, all I found was an incredibly clunky UI that did not allow for any semblance of gameplay whatsoever. Navigating the screen is incredibly frustrating as the UI seems to be 14 steps behind where the mouse is. For example, place the cursor on the map edge and nothing happens for about 45 seconds, then the point of view jerks radically to some unknown place. Hovering over icons do produce a tip, but clicking on them doesn't seem to have any effect. With all of this, it is impossible to zero on any map point and forget about placing objects where you want them.

With a computer that more than exceeds the recommended requirements of the game, I am very much suprised that a game this unmanageable exists.

I guess it's back to Caesar III for me!

Better than what other people are saying.

First off let me say that if you are interested in this game keep in mind that the majority of reviews on this page are giving it poor reviews based on the game not being able to run properly on their outdated systems, with a newer system this game is fantastic and quickly and easily surpasses Caesar III!

This is not simply Caesar III with better graphics which is what many people seem to have been expecting. Gameplay wise it is a lot like Caesar III but it is more involved and requires the player to plan ahead, more so than Caesar III ever did. The game plays and looks beautiful. 5 stars all the way!!!

Great game, Poor requirements listing

The game overall is fun for me. That being said, let me explain why. I have no where near the minimum requirements with an OC'd AMD FX-60 and a OC'd x1900xtx both on h2o. So, all in all, the games looks wonderful. I actually ended up getting my current rig due to the fact many publishers are going the way of graphics intensity.

The only thing I hate is how the publishers continue to play down the requirements box simply to broaden their potential market. This does nothing but create hostile users who cannot enjoy the game for what it was programmed to be because they purchased it assuming since they have somewhat above the minimum requirements they would be fine. Problem is, who designates the MINIMUM level at which the games is still enjoyable and playable?

If the publishers are to continue putting such graphics into their products, they need to also update their minimum requirements and get with the program!

Wonderful!!

I love this game! Its one of the best I've ever played-and I have them all. It keeps you glued to your seat and keeps me coming back for more!:)

Beautiful but flawed and no support

First thing-the graphics are far prettier than any of the current 3 Caesar games out there. Having said that-this game had a major bug right at the release. How is that possible? Is it unreasonable to expect a U.S. company to produce a flawless product? Probably not, but Tilted Mill has some of the the best pros in the industry. Basic bugs killed any enjoyment for me and the scenario editor is an unworkable mess. The advice offered by the techno weenies on the forums are beyond comprehension of the average consumer.

Far better to go with CivCity Rome.

Update: It's been some time since my original review. I now have some set scenarios and I have to say that that with some downloads and some help from the forums, this is an enjoyable game. (But i shouldn't have had to do that.) For new purchasers, go on the forums and get the early patch and scenario editing help if so desired. I bump my review from a 2 for fun and a 1 for overall to 3 and 3. Still the prettiest city building game available.

Don't understand all the negative comments

I guess I'd be frustrated too if the game didn't run on my computer, but I've had no problems on my laptop (1.8 GHz, 1GB RAM)after toning down some of the graphic options, which still leave a reasonably stunning picture of my cities.

As for the gameplay, what did people want? I was a huge fan of Caesar 3 when it came out, and then loved Pharaoh even more. This game plays true to the genre. Yeah, they could've tweaked the interface a bit more, like putting prices on the ports when selected, but if that's your biggest beef with the game, I'd judge you as being a bit too picky. There are very few perfect games out there, and if you like Roman city building, you'll have fun with this one, too.
