You’ll build monuments, colosseums and other huge structures to show off your advancement as well as to make sure your city remains a happy one. According to the press materials, you’ll even get a look inside the Roman bathhouses, where presumably you’ll witness a different sort of business altogether.Īs civilization progresses, dusty huts will evolve into busy ports serving sea-borne trade that brings more prosperity into your city. Indeed, what I saw at E3 was promising in that regard, from an overhead view of the entire boot of Italy with its variegated terrain to a busy market street with colorful awnings shading the merchants as they go about their business. That, of course, means your cities are going to have to look great and pack in much detail, and the developers said that the graphical treatment will be sufficiently detailed to maintain the sense of developing actual living cities. Visuals, said the developers, will be your conduit into the daily lives of city-dwellers, as CivCity will let you zoom up close and personal-like to all the monument-building, glassblowing and olive-pressing that makes a city successful. The team of developers at E3 described CivCity: Rome as a building game at heart, but one that engages the historian, the gladiator and the voyeur in you as well as the great municipal visionary.
When’s the last time you built a civilization from the ground up but still managed to be on drop-in-whenever terms with the average folk that populate your dominion? Coming soon for the PC, CivCity: Rome promises to span that intimacy gap between Civilization-like empire-sprawl and the city-building minutiae of SimCity, all the way down to glimpsing through the walls of individual houses to see what your citizens are really doing with their spare time. Developer: Firefly Studios with Firaxis Games
