Hello , as a person who played all of City Building series to the end ( erm , actually havent played Caesar that much), i will compare them and tell pros and cons about them all , maybe i can help to folks who have questions at their minds
By the way this includes Caesar , Pharaoh(Cleopatra) , Zeus(Poseidon) , Emperor : Rise of Middle Kingdom. Feel free to add anything i miss.
Zeus & Poseidon
PROS
---------------
-Easiest of them overall
-Monuments build fast
-Villagers talk humorously (E.g. a philosopher says ` I have come down from mount olympos etc. )
-You can call mythical heroes ( Hercul etc. )
-A lot of gods to worship
-Easy to employ a foundation
-Houses evolve easy ( not villas lol)
-Disasters and risks(damage - fire etc) dont occur frequently
-Cartoonish graphics (especially monuments)
CONS
---------------
-Building an army isnt easy( houses must evolve in order to train army )
-Random mythical monsters attack ( Medusa etc. ) and you need to call an hero to slay it which is hell to provide his/her requirements...
-There arent that much different monuments
-The villas(better quality houses) are hell to be evolved.
Pharaoh & Clepatra expansion
PROS
----------------
-Above average difficult
-Many different kinds of monuments
-Making army aint hard
-Musics are awesome
-If u worship Seth you win
-Really feels like you play in Ancient Egpyt
-Monuments look awesome (my favourite is Sphinx)
CONS
-----------------
-Building a monument is erm....... like hell.
-The worst problem in this game is , when you build a foundation , you need to build houses near it to employ it .(In other games whereever you build the houses, even thou u build the foundation at the edge of the map it gets employed , in this game not .)
-Water is a great problem ( its Egpyt , remember ? )
-Risks occur frequently ( disease,fire etc.)
-Gods get upset too quick and destroy something specific to them ( E.g. ptah destroys a storage yard)
-Placing farms on flood area personally makes me sick.
-Bridges aint that long.
-If you make Pharaoh angry, he attacks you with an army that only cheating can defeat.
Caesar
As i said , i didnt play this game that much , but other than this games fellow games ( above ) , this game has no pros over then but only cons .
= Disasters happen a lot ( volcano earthquake etc.) , risks happen a lot , someone attacks you a lot ....
Emperor : Rise of the Middle Kingdom (China)
PROS
-----------------------
Best graphics overall(and best resolution)
Medium difficulty
Monuments look really nice
You play in 3 different ages(ancient , medieval and a bit further)
Quests are really enjoying
There is no god to punish you
You can tame animals and keep them in palace
CONS
---------------------
Floods happen frequently and destroys not only area clsoe to shore , they go even further close to center
-There are qualities of foods which is hell to make them stable(plain, apetizing etc.)
-Enemy armies attack frequently and attack when your situation is bad(spies)
-Building monument is a bit faster than Pharaohs`
Thats all i can add , again , if u have something to add, please go on. Cheers
