Zeus: Master of Olympus

Start with a plot of land by the shores of the wine-dark Aegean and create a thriving city-state of your own design. Build roads and monuments, set taxes, control trade, and command armies on land and sea. Construct massive sanctuaries, a stadium for the Games, even an Atlantean pyramid. Build armies and fleets to battle neighbors on land and sea. Succeed, and make them your vassals. Fail, and you'll be forced to play tribute until you win back your freedom. Rule the legendary world of Atlantis. Mine orichalc, and make use of unique buildings like bibliotheques and observatories.
