I never really figured out how to play this game back in the day. It still lingered with me.

It's pretty good. Combining strategy with city building. The city building is pretty deep and satisfying. The stragety is there, but nothing to write home about. Just have the biggest baddest army and you'll win.

Big fan of Caesar II. I like it better than III or IV. III doubled down on the walker mechanic with its unsatisfying meta of avoiding intersections. The roadblock solution to the weird meta didn't show up until the later Pharaoh and Zeus games

Caesar II is elegant and has graphics that have aged very well
