“Caesar 3, with better graphics, horrible UI, casual tier depth and unreliable logistics on basic buildings. I'd rather just play games that are 20 years old AND still better.”

“A Caesarlike citybuilder in a fantasy setting, but I found the building's logistics to be too big a pain in the ass to keep playing. There would be a stockpile with coal next to a smelter, and they would walk to the other side of the map…”
