Classic city builders and strategy

These seven strategy and management games from Impressions Games focus on building settlements and holding them together under pressure. In Caesar 3, Pharaoh + Cleopatra and Zeus + Poseidon you lay out streets, secure food and water, direct trade and taxes, and answer to gods or rulers while raising large monuments. The Lords of the Realm titles and Lords of Magic: Special Edition shift the same careful planning to medieval rule and fantasy conflict, where you feed workers, gather armies and decide battles and alliances.
