MMORPG.com talks to Craig Morrison. Caesar IV continues with the Roman-based theme established by its predecessors. The goal, contrary to most games, is not to destroy, shoot or pillage anything but to simply construct a functioning city with industry and agriculture, and infrastructure including law, hygiene, education and entertainment.Except its not so simple, and only with hard practice and good planning skills will a city develop from basic subsistence into a sprawling metropolis. City builders traditionally feature an isometric view in-game, with an interface providing access to building options as well as extended support in the form of city reports and advisors, tax, trade and labour controls. Veterans will be both happy and sad to learn that Tilted Mill has neither improved nor ruined this in C4.Based on Empire Earths Titan game engine from now-defunct Stainless Steel Studios, C4 is completely 3D and allows zooming, camera rotation and new to the series building rotation. Building on the award-winning formula of its predecessor, Caesar IV takes the city-building genre into the 21st century, with new gameplay and features, and a cutting edge 3D graphics engine developed specifically for the title. Developed by Tilted Mill, Caesar IV advances, refines and updates the city-building gameplay pioneered by Caesar III, while remaining true to its predecessor's proud legacy. In Caesar IV, players take on the role of an aspiring provincial governor within Caesar's empire as they build and manage an individual ancient Roman city and its province. Players lay out each city, road by road and building by building, making sure citizens have all they need to remain healthy, happy and safe from barbarian threats. As the city grows from a simple village to a cosmopolitan metropolis, so too do the challenges it presents. Television movies for the week of Nov. 19 The Accidental Witness '06. Natasha Wagner.
