At almost any resolution you can see the different characters and identify what they are. Sounds are crystal clear. I like the occasional comment from the crowd that popps out from time to time. Everywhere in the game, the more lighthearted approach is evident. Mission briefings are littered with bad puns.
Citizens have a hatful of cheesy one liners that they utter at random.
Gods walk the streets. What it adds up to is a city builder that you can play without a scowl on your face. A feat worthy of high marks. This is one superb game. The object, obviously, is the building of cities in ancient Greece.
