It seems like just yesterday we featured a game about Rome. Today, more of the ancient city with Roads of Rome II, a full-blown resource management/simulation game that calls upon My Kingdom for the Princess as inspiration. Not only will you be building a path through several unique environments, you'll also bribe barbarians, build settlements, and chop hundreds of trees as you wind your way up to the mountaintops to the home of the gods themselves!
The Caesar has been poisoned, and the only way to cure him is to make an appeal to the gods. The plan is to carve your way through the lands and build a long road leading directly to their abode. Hopefully, this will gain their favor and they will grant you a cure. But as it turns out, the gods have some favors of their own to ask, sending you on a long journey through over 40 levels of resource management challenge.
Roads of Rome II is all about gathering and spending resources. Workers are needed to do everything from filling in holes and building bridges to picking up materials laying on the ground. Simply click on something you want done and, if a worker is free, he'll hop to it. You'll need to stock up on food, provided by berry bushes and pig farms, wood, provided by chopping down trees and by sawmills, and later, gold and rock. Most actions require a resource or two to complete, so managing your task order is just as important as managing your stockpiles.
