Zeus: Master of Olympus

Strategy and Wargaming Game from Sierra Studios, by Impressions Games

RTS/city-building game. It is the follow-up to the Caesar and Pharaoh games and is set in ancient Greece. You again take the role of a city ruler responsible for building a thriving city and protecting it from enemies. The gameplay involves constructing buildings and farms to provision your people, manufacturing goods, building an army and ensuring that people have access to temples and entertainment. You have to keep the gods appeased or they will punish you. You can now appeal directly to them.

A new addition to this installment in the series are famous heroes, such as Hercules, that can be invited to your city. The game is played on a 3D landscape viewed from an isometric perspective. The city is populated with many types of people who can seen walking around. The game features all-new building design and some graphical improvements over Pharaoh. The interface is relatively unchanged.
