strange_complexWow - could this be my ideal computer game? CivCity: Rome.
The screenshots are promising: hardly a historically-accurate rendering of Rome's topography, but, then again, if the user is getting to build their own Rome, then why shouldn't the Colosseum, Circus Maximus and Pantheon all be right next to each other? And the renditions of each are very nice (although if they're to scale, the people in the Colosseum must be about twenty feet tall!).
Good thing it doesn't come out until the summer, really, or I could kiss goodbye to the book...

I'm working like a demon throughout the vacation, and when it finishes, I'm just sending in what I've got. You have to stop sometime.
