There sure are a lot of city-building games set in Ancient Rome.

I would like to hear your opinion on what are the best, and why?

I've only tried Caesar IV and CivCity:Rome, and I'd also like to know if it is worthy to play the other ones, or if they are just more of the same.

You need to try CotN - Children of the Nile (also there's an Alexandria "City Pack").

If you haven't tried the original city builder (Sim City), then I would say that it it a must.

Visit my profile (click on my name) and find info on the three I like best at my web site.

I voted for CivCity: Rome because I don't have any of the Ceaser games and is the only one on your list that I still play.

My vote is with grand ages rome, but I have not played it in a long time... I really want to play the expansion, but since I love steam, and for some reason they wont release it on steam, I don't own it :(

EDIT: Lol, I voted for grand ages rome and meant grand ages rome, but for some reason in my post I said civcity rome :P

Out of the roman city builders I prefer Grand Ages Rome, however out of all the city builders I love Simcity 4 the best, as long as I can use my 4GB of user created buildings.  Without custom content in Simcity 4 to me it's very vanilla and visually not very appealing , but with custom user created content it jumps to life.

If I owned CivCity: Rome on Steam I might be enticed to give it another go, but not worthy (to me, guys, to me) of having to load up the disks to try it again.  It's been ages since I last played CivCity: Rome.

It's on Steam for me:

Maybe it's a territory thing?

[crowebird]

Yea, they wont release it for NA

Yep, me too. The link gives me a page that says;
"This item is currently unavailable in your region"

Don't bother me though, I have it and CD is always in the CD-ROM.
