Family Gamer review Wed, 29 Apr 2009

Grand Ages is the sequel to the similarly Roman themed city builder, 'Imperium Romanum'. Developers Haemimont Games have had a obviously had a good look at the successes and failures of that title and seem to have come up with a much better game this time around.

Management of your city residents has become a less cumbersome task this time around. Build an Insula (a sort of apartment block for the lowest class citizens) and it will get instantly populated, with its inhabitants starting work at the nearest unoccupied workplace within the new buildings range. Gone are the gender specific jobs and your citizens themselves are no longer individually selectable. It may seem a bit strange for a whole apartment block to work in the same place but it works well. You are still able to chuck the lower classes out of work in favour of Equites or Patricians who will do a better job, but of course you'll have to find somewhere else for the plebs to work to avoid civil unrest.
