Master of Olympus! Camilla Send a noteboard - 30/04/2010 08:37:03 AM
I'm kind of looking into picking up a strategy game at some point, but I've always had problems with strategy games for a few reasons. One, I'm so used to playing RPGs, that the lack of substantial "story" and RP elements in most games tend to make me bored pretty quickly. Two, I'm not overly interested in logistics and mechanics and prefer to keep things pretty simple. If it gets too complicated and, yes, "realistic", I will simply find other ways to spend my limited relaxation time.


It has stories (Greek history and myth), it isn't terribly difficult, and it is nowhere near realistic :P

Addendum: I do have a copy of Civ IV. when I initially installed it, I was annoyed that I couldn't do all the town-developing I could do in the beginning of Caesar 3 and wasn't inclined at the time to give it a shot anyways. I'd be more willing to do so now, but I'm still kind of sad I couldn't do as much town development :(


I don't know what that means.

The thing with Master of Olympus, though, is that it was made for Windows 98 (or was it 95?) so you may need a virtual machine to play it now.

I'd warn her off Total War, but Starcraft is definitely a go. *NM* - 29/04/2010 10:55:23 PM 360 Views

If you liked the Caesar 3 demo so much, the obvious suggestion would be Caesar 3. - 01/05/2010 01:59:16 PM 988 Views
Pharaoh is a bit older than Caesar III, if I recall correctly. - 01/05/2010 08:31:29 PM 854 Views

Yeah, I went and played it again just now because you'd reminded me of it... - 02/05/2010 09:26:25 PM 768 Views
That's what I'm struggling with right now. - 02/05/2010 09:45:51 PM 798 Views
