  • "they said rome was build in a day".

    *see time elasped*

    *23 hours*

    "nice...."

  • well you can now buy it off steam for $10

  • I was amazed when I heard the voice acting after the installation. A crazy scientist put the residents of The London Borough of Hackney into the ancient times! Into Rome!

  • I love this game

  • What did you use to record?

  • The people in ALL of my cities won't get water from the well, even in FREE TIME! Plz help.

  • @xxxOrcaman4xxx the wells really isn't that great past the early stages of the game, for people to use it they need to live pretty close by, be on free time(unless they are a wife), and there need to be water prepared for them at the well, witch means the well worker should live as close to the well as possible so when he goes onto work time he doesn't waste time getting there, consider making a cistern and come aqueducts, it will work allot better once you actually get a city and not a town.

  • @xxxOrcaman4xxx Try using Aquaducts. Then you wont need a well ever unless its too far away. Oh and if that happens, check their wealth. Maybe they are broke. Water aint free ya know.

  • I just got this game paired with Civ III for $5. Best $5 ever spent.

  • Isn't there supposed to be a 'Kids' difficulty level included?

    Kudos to you on making these video walkthroughs.

  • EVERYONE that likes Firaxis is gonna know about their games...

    Like Sid Meier's Pirates!

    Sid Meier's Civilization 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

    Stronghold Crusader, Stronghold Crusader Extreme

    Stronghold, Stronghold 2, Stronghold Legends

    and those are the ones at the top of my head, besides CivCity Rome, and there are other games by Firaxes. They're awesome, but not as awesome as Mad Doc (Which has been bought out).

    Did they also make Rise of Nations? (Firaxes, NOT Mad Doc)

  • @JaredThinks lol you fukkin noob? Stronghold was created by Firefly. With some support from Firaxis maybe

  • Hey dude nice video you got there, am going to get this, and i have a question, would appreciate it if anyone helps me, there is a game that just looks look this, but in the medieval ages, about same graphics not the fancy one, and not too much old like the sims 2000 or something.... :D

  • @sa5er1234 The game is called Stronghold and it's an excellent game. If CivCity is your style of play then you're going to love Stronghold. There is also a Stronghold 2, and Stronghold 3 is currently in development. Enjoy.

  • Comment removed

  • 3 things 1 out of a fun scale of 1-10 what will you score because i already told my mother that i want to get this game 2 where else can you get this none of the walmarts in the tri cities have thought of selling copies of this game and 3 does this game work with internet explorer 9

  • @zackerolo2 lol its not a browser-based game, it just launches from the desktop.

    and i would score it a 9/10 but actual game reviewers and other people would probably give it a 6/10.

    lastly if you cant find it anywhere then try amazon.com

  • @zackerolo2 You can buy it off steam as well

  • @zackerolo2 you could also get it off steam. i got my copy from there

  • do you recommend i buy this game

  • @zackerolo2 its really up to you, its a good game and i had allot of fun with it but its also very dated. but seeing that good roman city builders (and just good city builders in general) are few. i guess its worth a shot.

  • @zackerolo2 grand ages: rome is also really good if you wanna take a look at that

  • holy shit the way i built my city is much much more better than urs

  • @AznElite123 If you are better, do your own video!

  • @Ginyyx3 yea i have no idea how to make a video at all :3

  • Isnt it kind of ironic how the Romans were so civilized, yet you have farms and animals mixed in with your housing and towns people....?

  • How powerful a PC do you need to run this game?

  • Monotone wtf :P

  • i am getting a glitch or something where my people arnt working. they are just sleeping or walking around there house. can anyone help me please

  • This game had this logical feeling which I didn't have when I played Ceasar 4. It brought joy of seeing your citizens with their carts or priest marrying couples before the couple goes home and has a toddler running around. The military aspect is a bit too easy. I always got in trouble when I had to build the big villas and entertainment buildings like the Colloseum.

  • i got CivCity Rome, Grand Ages Rome, Caesar IV, and Imperium Romanum from Steam. I know they are city-building games, but which one would you guys recommend me to try first?

  • i actually do love this game

  • Ok im going through the campaign and I'm stuck on the mission where you just get access to fruit anf doctors office. everything seems to be in order, however nobody is going into the fucking doctors office so the houses wont upgrade! ive placed enough of them around but dont get whats going on.. nobody even works in any of them. population and everything is fine. I just dont know what the hell is going on..

  • how do you change the camera veiw?

  • I like the part when he was explaining the game.

  • you dont wanna end up living in a trailer down by the river! ;)

  • why won't my workers build? I've patched the game , i can see the little camera in the minimap and it's 1.1 :|

  • @majinleoking Eh.. Your workers dont build anything in this game, except world wonders..

  • @LWa9s1 my mistake, i meant work, they just sit around :|

  • i remember buying this in a dobule pack very fun

  • Fun to watch city builders, everyone does something different. I always have space issues later in the game. Thanks for the vid Drath

  • I wish to support Firaxis Games, but I want a good game as well. I'm planning to buy Stronghold 3, but it isn't out yet, should I buy this game?

  • @VineFynn two compleatly different games but your choice :D

  • @Drathgore I play games like pharaoh and Caesar 4 and enjoy them, I was just thinking that the additional gameplay elements might spice things up a bit. Thanks anyway.

  • @VineFynn I would not buy this for retail price (there might be someone who does that still), but it is definetly a game worth buying. I've had a lot of fun with the game anyways.

  • @VineFynn Thanks.

  • mine has a kids diffiiculty

  • this is one of the uglyest maps , cause the immigrants come from the water ?????

  • @spray812

    it doesn't matter where do they come from,if they are coming from water its not our prob

  • it does thanxs... i have the game now.... could u do a walkthrough on Civilization IV if u have it??

  • @12monkeymaster A CIV 4 walkthrough would be much more difficult ^^ I'm sure there's many on youtube, but when it comes to Civ 4 I find it the best to start with a small difficulty and learn on your own. The civilopedia also helps a lot, especially if you devote some time to reading it.

  • I have it but don;t play it.

  • @Simtertown one man's opinion I love this game

  • @Cotif11 I don't think you know what i'm talking about i like it but can't find it.

  • @Simtertown oh sorry

  • *interviews a vagrant*

    "ooooooh! get a load of your fancy gardens! now i've got somewhere nice to sleep!"

  • Wow this is awful. All jammed up. No city plan. Not watchin' the other parts.

  • @JaegerMatthias i am "watching the other parts" i just like to make it complicates and look more like an unplanned ancient city would, i made plenty of huge map, spanning cities in the boring old grid pattern tha everyone loves to use, i just like a challenge

  • @Drathgore Aha. Well my bad. Shouldn't call this vid a "walkthrough" then. Should call it "Watch me build an unplanned ancient city Part 1".

  • @JaegerMatthias not a bad name tbh but your still just a fail troll so all your point are invalid good sir

  • @JaegerMatthias agreed. a major must for this game would be to totally freeze the city and be able to disgn and plan out the city to perfection then resume.

  • I would have done that, but i have cricket internet, and it would take FOR EVER to download and install... Its shipping through the regular US postal Service so i have a feeling i will be waiting for ever!!! Do you know what the system requirments are for this game? i can assume very little considering its an older game!

  • @12monkeymaster Windows 2000/XP_2.0 GHz proccesor_512 MB RAM_128 MB with DirectX 8 support (pixel andvertex shaders)_DirectX 7 compatible sound card_CD-ROM drive 2.5GB uncompressed space_DirectX9 Oc (included) ~CivCity Rome v 1.1 Recommended System Requirements, hope it helps.

  • i got it off of amazon for $0.15 on amazon.... $9 after shipping and handling though lmao! it hasnt came yet... :(

  • @12monkeymaster And now its on sale for $99 cents on steam with no shipping and instant download :P

  • I usually make two small towns in the begining (although the ppl hate it for a while) with a farm town (kinda poor) and and market town (kinda not poor :) ) I'll put the granaries and warehouses in the farm town, cause the merchant town can just buy their meat from the vendors. Problem is expanding my workforce. Any sugestions? (Usually get stuck when i need to get the palace stuff, their distance ring is big, but not big nough.)

  • how do you record your p.c screen while playing? coz i would love to give it a go but i carn't find out how to do it :( please help!

  • @ntsdr google fraps

  • This game costs 99 cents right now on steam. Get it if you like it!

    90% off for christmas.

  • got it for less than 50 cents

  • ha I got this for like 6 dollarsin a book order from school :3

  • @canadianrandomness It is now for 0.99E on steam

  • @Arckalw downloading it now!

  • Ok why am I still needing to build a well? I have water coverage but it says my shack needs a well to upgrade.

  • i lov this game i am down lading it now lol

  • what did you use to record this?

  • @yogurt837 He uses Xfire. Go to Xfire.com

  • @faroutdudes5 thanks, ive been looking for some freeware to record in game for a while now

  • HA HA!I GOT IT FOR 10$ OFF OF SCHOLASTIC!!!! pretty good game

  • @MrZombiekiller23 HAHAHA I GOT IT FOR 0.99$ OFF OF AMAZON!! Plus shipping was like $4.98!!!

  • Wow the game looks like Stronghold and Civilization had a baby. Yayz! :D

  • so ya

  • lol i remember this game.... someone brought to my school loved it... time to look for a torrent. ty i was actually looking for this for a couple of months now, and i finally find a video of it once i give up looking for it. lol really man thank you soooo much :D

  • I bought the game, i got one question

    there's this thing anoying me all the time

    i'm french and i dont know how we call those things in english,the thing where they stock up food

    everytime the guy is saying 'we dont have anymore food the...are empty' its empty every time how can i stop this?

    sorry for my english

  • @figaro4555 Hey, I don't know if you know but you can install the game in french too. And you can't do anything to it, I think...

  • @pieterpaulll Yea i have the game in french ^^ i just didnt know what word to use for my question

  • @figaro4555 what i do is mass produce goat farms and butcher shops. just make alot of food producing places. also if your city happiness is up you can lower the food rations.

  • do sometimes buldings burn down or collapse?

  • Are the Romans meant to sound English or is it taking the piss?

  • man, i just make farms and shops. few shaks. only 1/8 have houses over 40k population. but they'll live :)

  • this was the first pc game i ever got... i loved it sooo much. but i am kinda bored with it now, its been 4 years since i played it first. i wish i could still feel the old spark of playing this... im pro at this game now, but i really had the most fun not knowing what in the heck to do about the temple being too far away from the hovels. but i still love this game. it got me in to strategy games.

  • @srry4beatinu thats the same for most games, which is y i dont play wow anymore

  • @srry4beatinu I know how you feel. I am still new to this game and still figuring how to do stuff. "Sire! Our granaries are dangerously close to being empty!" "Sire, our granaries are now empty," are 2 quotes I hear SOOOOO much still. Argh! I have like med insulas and not feeding anyone. Lol, have every wonder and have full payment for them so I still gain happy faces. ^_^ I do this when I don't want to play Sim city or Civilization.

  • @StarCraftDude1234 thats funny. after i beat this game i played civilization and sim city!! those were the very first pc games i ever played. i used to just play consles until like 6yrs ago. the trick to fill your granerys is knowing how much product each farm produces. 1 goat farm can supply 4 meat carvers. you might get away with 5 but thats pushing it. also, try not to over expand, they will consume food faster. and your's calls you sire? mine says govener.

  • @srry4beatinu I was wrong, it's Governor. I was like a day since I last played when I typed that comment. Yeah, when I typed that comment I was always getting the message saying granaries are dangerously close to empty, now he keeps saying that there is not enough granary space. Lol. I like Civilization and Simcity. I think CivCity is a good ,at least good enough for me ^_^ combination of both. Now, there is another civ game like this, Stronghold, but that game has graphical bugs where it skips.

  • @StarCraftDude1234 i played all strongholds and love all of them. but i think this is my favorite, if not for gameplay for its sentimental value to me. im sure everyone can remeber their first pc game. so you got the food production down-pact? have you beat the campaign? what level are you on? a good tip that i use is to put all your farms in a tight square as best you can. then make 4 meat shops and set your houses behind it. i have a complcated city plan for it all. :)

  • @srry4beatinu First pc game I got was RoadRash. I STILL play it when bored. Lol. Food thing is ALL better now indeed. I am not that far into the campaign. I just did the first military mission. >.< Want to take this conversation to PM or maybe live chat (something online -like chat avenue or something- would suffice)

  • I just got the game for 5.90 euros.. its Awesome!

  • you start with shack, if you supply it with water, it'll turn into a small hut. if you supply the small hut with meat, it'll turn into a medium hut. if you supply the medium with tunics, it'll turn into a large hut. if you supply a large with olive oil, ít'll turn into a small hovel. if you supply a small hovel with beds and religion, ít'll turn into a medium hovel.

  • ah the good old days of zoo tycoon path building

  • Why do your houses automatically upgrade like that? I have a cistern and aqueducts(however you spell them) and the houses oftens stay as shacks, wont upgrade, any idea why?

  • @qwas12348gr5 place the houses AFTER the cistern

  • @Drathgore

    Still...They just stay as shacks for ages.

  • @qwas12348gr5 the houses are either not in the range of the cistern (blue circle u see when u click on it) or it only workdd in my game for some reason. mabie my games "broken" :D

  • @qwas12348gr5 the houses are either not in the range of the cistern (blue circle u see when u click on it) or it only workdd in my game for some reason. maybe my games "broken" :D

  • i just bought this game in a super marked for about 30 danish crowns.. (a form for paid in denmark). When i would instal it, i came up with PRAY xD no shit main...i just brought Prey for 30kr xD that´s one hell of a cheap deal :D

  • Nice vids, I love them all. But (lol) how do I delete campaign saved games? I can't start new ones or delete them...

  • best game ever

  • Hmm I bought this and it came with Sid Meier's Civ 3 Special Edition however when I go to click on either one it just freezes my computer up and does nothing. Any ideas.

  • @belarus0 sry nope, i got this just as a standalone game :P

  • @Drathgore Oh well thanks anyways

  • @belarus0 What system do you have? I you have a new system such as Windows 7 you need to download a plug-in.

  • @homeworkguru I have windows vista

  • @belarus0 Download a DirectX component. Then it should stop crashing.

  • I love this game <3

  • i have a question . In the beginning of the vid ( i'm not sure that i read it or heard it )

    the island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea is Malta ? I would be glad if you answser my question . The question is based in-game nor real life. Thanks

  • @kurtdimech1 it say jewels in the sea

  • i got this game at walmart too, for around the same price. i still play it alot, just because its fun and im a huge fan of roman stuff. I also played grand ages rome, but i liked this game alot more because there is no need to worry about crime in this game.

  • @Tacomaster21 if you set it to hard and you have hovels and high housing levels near each other the poor will revolt!!!!!

  • @srry4beatinu rly? i never knew that, i thought the difficulty was just for the amount of money you get, i guess thats what the watch towers are for :D

  • @Drathgore yeah, i have had the game for along time, and i am just found that out awhile ago. i had alot of towers though because animals kept invading, and they just happened to kill all the revolters. lol

  • lol at 3:22 what a good point. Every rts game and civ builder I know has that flaw. "Quick! Go invent the wheel!" "Uh, what"?

  • Lol..what a total waste of money, placing houses near farms and stuff, it's useless, they will never get all the resources they need...because you placed farms where you should've placed a library or something...Second, always research Lead Working and Mosaic Working first...saves you a sh!tload of money on cisterns and aquaducts. No seriously, i like the tutorial, but your city could be sooo much more efficient.

  • @DKxSLIPKNOTxDK thanks now GTFO the chat b4 some1 hurts you :D

  • @Drathgore il hurt him for ya, nerds gotta stick together.

  • @Tacomaster21 Hahaha, yea they do... >.>

  • drath if you like this game you should play stronghold

  • thanks for the vids ,really helped me understand the game. could you tell me the program you used for the recording of this video?

  • Does any1 know ant cheats!

    Just for the craic?!?!

    x

  • hey, how'd you spin the camera around?

  • @xXMonteCristoXx press the buttons E or D

    x

  • I personaly love this game, because it's like a Sims game, only from an older time perspective.

  • Do you people recommend this over Grand age Rome? And which one has more soldiers and better graphics? Please reply.

  • grand age Rome (i think your talking about grand ages of Rome) has ALOT better graphics and WAY more soldiers than this game does, but i think this is a classic case of don't judge a book by its cover cause i personally had more fun playing this game than i did with grand ages, just my opinion tho

  • @Drathgore Yes, many thanks. I do appreciate you stating your perspective and I will keep your opinion in mind. I just really like huge armies. :)

  • this is a and entertaining video, i could watch it for hours :)

  • i got mine for 15 dollars

  • i usually dont put a cistern down its smart thogh ill start

  • Great that you know the game Black and White.

    By the way I got the game for $10... But its still fun.

    Your city is very nice, I mean its estetic.

  • well when you're playing on easy it's a really simple game - try beating the game on hard, the tiny range of the houses and constant money shortages makes it near impossible sometimes... i beated it on hard mode... took he hours damnit.

  • lol. you got it for $20? I got mine new at my school book fair for $2.50

  • on hard mode do people attack??

  • i really like this game its cool i got it

  • How you turn the camera like that ? And game volume is too high hehe

  • This game was fun! Why did I lose the game! T_T

  • This Game is good the only bad thing is that it takes so long to gather goats even with the Animal Husbandry on

  • IMO one of the best City Builders out there. I also have Caesar and Sid meiers Civilization....but CivCity Rome is my fav.

  • Reviews can be deceiving this game is really fun.

  • Thank you for those videos now i know how to play CivCity Rome :)

  • I love this game. It is poorly rated on Gamespot but it's BS. They try to compare to Sid Meier's Civ but it's not fair. I hate Sid Meier's games. Firefly did a good job here.

    I have 4 Sid Meier's games, I don't play any of them.

  • then why buy them?

  • @Sjoerd2212

    Because I don't trust reviews of games. And I can afford them. And I'm a collector. I can keep going.

  • lol then ur the same as me :D i collect games too but I don't like reviews too except for this dutch site they give honest opinions even if they don't like a game and there's one guy there who has the same taste in games as me so i usually go by his opinion though to give me a measure but I always judge myself but his opinion helps though

  • sid meiers pirates was good but as far as the strategy genre goes this game is the shizizz

  • dudu i love this game i did not now about that water thing i will try that

  • i love this game.

  • is this game good?

  • @ErickCruz21

    Yes, it is.

  • the game is more fun wen u have the time on normal

  • ya i know i just never rly took it off fast for some reason lol

  • There is one more difference between the difficulty settings - in esay mode you don't have to worry about riots and fires. They happen quite frequently in hard mode.. Why do you build roads completely around the buildings? Isn't that a waste of money? The people never walk behind the town hall...? Or am I missing something?

  • i just like the look of the roads going everywhere and the roads thing will be all the way at the top and your city raitings will be better

    and no it doesnt waste money in easy its practicly infanite

  • @MelihaP i build roads all the time on mine xD

  • @Luio677 Sure, I do too, but not before I have upgraded so they're free. It wastes money in the beginning, and if you play on hard mode, you really can't afford it. At least I can't.:p

  • @MelihaP on hard mode do people attacck ur city??

  • ya they do, but not on the map i was playing

  • @corytracy123 Yes they do, so watchtowers should be built fast. Fire towers also...

  • do you have to have roads

  • building a roads makes ur people move faster so u can build 1 but u don't have to(i prefer building the roads)

  • Like loonymatthew77 I only payed five bucks.

  • What's Math?

    I don't know. You have to invent it.
