This city-building game is the follow-up to the Caesar and Pharaoh games. You'll take the role of a city ruler and the gameplay will involve provisioning your people, controlling industry and production and constructing buildings for religious worship and entertainment. You'll have to keep the gods appeased and the famous heroes, such as Hercules, will also make an appearance. The game will be played on a 3D landscape viewed from an isometric perspective. Cities will be populated with many types of people who will be seen moving around. The game's promises to graphical improvements over Pharaoh.

After Pharaoh, Impressions Games took its city building series into Ancient Greece, land of Zeus, Ares and his Dragon and a lot of other mythological figures.

The most important change to the core of the previous games is how dwellings are built and improve. The distribution of goods also changed. Also, religion plays a larger -and more palpable- part than in previous games.

The rest of the game remains unchanged from the core of the series. The player is in charge of developing a plot of land and turn it into a thriving new city. For that, he must build enough housing spots and provide jobs for the people, either working in production of raw material, manufacturing of goods or services done to the city. These services include philosophers, athletes and actors, who entertain the people and every four years take part in the Olympic Games, which brings fame to the city. Other services include tax collectors, water bearers, healers, watchmen and superintendents. Each level (excluding sandbox games) have a goal that can range from stockpiling a number of goods, submitting neighboring cities to your rule or get enough currency.
