Construct entire residential districts for people and improve their well-being by building markets, schools, theaters and other places, and connect them with roads for ease of access. Create warehouses and farms, plant wheat and bake bread, mine clay and manufacture all kinds of crockery. Once you have your manufacturing in place and running, provide your population with food, improving the status of households. Sell the excess of products and make more money. The richer households become with time, the more taxes they pay, thus helping you improve the city. Once you have successfully completed all the missions, you will be able to build your own villa!

Frustrating
Ok I downloaded the patch and it does slow down the fires...but only for a while. As each level reaches the end the fires become NONSTOP. I just dont get their purpose other then as mindless busywork...and the firehouses dont seem to do anything to stop them either. And they are even in the Sandbox mode? Come on thats not fair. Sandbox is suppose to be a free building thing..but I had 6 fires in the first minute and I just gave up. This game had great potential..its just falls short.

Why was this even released?
I have never, ever reviewed a game before, but after hitting my head against my desk for the last hour, I feel compelled to do so, both in order to vent my rage, and in order to prevent anyone else from buying this miserable failure.
First off, it is not possible to completely turn off the sounds. I prefer to listen to my own music while playing games, and having the crackly sound of fake fire in the background of all of my songs is rather annoying. When the slider bar for the "Sound" option is all the way to the right, there should be NO noise. None.
Second, the gameplay itself is very lacking. It holds much promise, but has some very basic flaws. For example, there is no timer which tells you when your farms/woodcutters/breadmakers/etc are going to produce next. You just have to sort of wait until more of whatever you need shows up in your products menu. Another annoying feature is the complete incomprehensibility of the taxes. Some times you get 300 gold in taxes, sometimes nothing. Why is this? The exact method for calculating how much gold you're going to get is never explained and not clear. Speaking of money, another extremely annoying flaw was the length of time it takes for a caravan to reach the edge of the map. Like, I waited for a good two minutes more than once. Since you sometimes aren't collecting any taxes (once again, for unknown reasons), you rely on the caravans, and the lengthy wait is frustrating. Finally, there were several things that just didn't make sense. Like, why does the entire economic system break down when the warehouses are full? It makes absolutely no sense that because there is TOO MUCH flour in the warehouse, the baker can't make bread. What?? Also, the number of buildings you needed to adequately supply a certain number of houses was crazy. For 10 houses, you need at least 6 bakers. Last time I checked, most people don't consume a literal ton of bread a day.
Thirdly, the fire. The fires. What is going on??? I got to level 12 until they really started being an issue, but then... Oh lawdy, let me tell you, I literally have pains shooting up and down my clicker finger. I was putting out fires for five, ten minutes straight. There was absolutely no way to actually play the game. I just had to keep putting out fires, build a few things here and there, and hope that I would fulfill the requirements and be done with the level.
I very, very rarely quit a game, but I finally gave up on this one after about level 14. I just couldn't take the constant fires, incomprehensible economic system, and lack of any sense within the game rules. I was sad to quit, because apart from the issues listed above, this game could be very enjoyable. But overall, I must warn you: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLAY THIS GAME. MOVE ON TO SOMETHING BETTER.

Was happy for the hour but..........
I thought I was going to enjoy this slow relaxing game, it's not a hard game at all. When you get to the higher levels it just gets played, soooo boring. I didn't even finish it yet, and usually I play a good game like a good book, can't put it down until your finished.

Not worth the money.
Game becomes tedious after a while. Goals basically the same for each level...produce item A,B or C and then upgrade houses. The stupid continuous onslaught of fires and troublemakers got very annoying. I got to the last level and my computer kept lagging once my city became larger and busier. I didn't finish the last level out of pure annoyance. Not really worth the money.

Disappointing
I bought the game without trying it out as I have the first one and love it! Big mistake. How does one get additional cash? Certainly not with the tax collectors or the rents from the houses. Certainly not by selling goods! NEVER saw a dime from that. And then there are the fires! I have a few Big Fish games but this one is the first one that I wasted my money on. Disappointing is quite inadquate a term.

Super fun!
I really enjoyed this games, the only real problem was that the text was a bit hard to read.

Ancient Rome 2
With the exception of way too many fires, I found this game to be fun. For those of us that have trouble with their hands though, this is not a good game and I do not suggest purchasing it. There definitely needs to be more time in-between fire outbreaks in order to help prevent hand fatigue.

Caesar 3 but worse
As other reviewers have said, the game was a bit dull and samey. The fires were incredibly annoying and even almost constant clicking on the flame bar did next to nothing.
Not sure if it was my PC but by the time I got to level 18 onwards, the game would freeze totally, and I'd have to use Task Manager to close it down, and in doing so, lost everything from that level. Even if I try to save it within a level, so if it hangs I don't lose anything, it won't save anything; it just throws me out of the level completely, loses all progress, and i have to restart the level. Again. In the case of level 18, 6 times, level 19 at 5 times, and level 20 - well, I wouldn't know because after it hung 8 times, I gave in with the game altogether. There isn't an autosave feature, nor is there a save feature to use part way through the level. Imagine playing a level of 2 hours, it hangs, and you have to start that level all over again? Almost as annoying as the constant fires!
It is similar to a lot of other games out there, but just doesn't reach the average standard of them.
Even at Big Fish's $2.99 offer price, it's a waste of money. Sorry.

Ancient Rome 2 is just that, Ancient!
I guess there is a reason some empires are dead! Awful just awful! Really Really disappointed in this one! It was on the back up CD as well! Not really challenging at all! No real story line! Click here make a road then click somewhere else make a well!? Really?
