Mein gott yes please! With access to some nice large maps (at least the size of a fully unlocked map in current Cities). Oh man what a dream.
roman roundabouts!!
And imagine the traffic jams at the city gates, all those carts and peoples trying to get in and out!
I totally feel it would be a smart move from them to hop on the Rome hypetrain for I:R and launch a city builder. I've been craving for a modern take on Ceasar 3 and it has been like 10 years allready since the last big Roman city builder launched so there definately should room for one. Especially after the way city:skylines managed to give city building a new impuls. It also would give them something new to do, I don't see them launching a cities skylines 2 for a while. There's plenty of room for expansion on the first game.
How long have I been waiting for a good successor to Caesar 2, 3 and 4? More than a decade apparently.
It is about time someone released a good Roman/ancient city builder that doesn't permanently languish in alpha/has over-the-top cartoonish graphics, dumbed-down gameplay for mobile players and fantasy elements. A HD game not restricted by square grid boxes and that absolutely infernal "market walker" system. A game that not only focuses on blandly building cities for the sake of building them (like in Cities Skylines or Grand Ages Rome), but makes you actually manage and run the said cities in detail like a real ancient mayor.
A game where you can actually be a governor of the province (like in Caesar 2) and build cities, roads and forts in your province; manage Legions stationed in your province, defend yourselves from barbarians and uprisings, maintain labour, migration and trade with other provinces of Rome, make some personal cash for retirement and buy family estates across the Roman empire (also with a prototype family tree). And like the old Caesar series, either make a peaceful career managing cities and strengthening the empire, or maintaining and expanding the frontier with an iron fist...until you either rise or rebel to become Roman Emperor himself.

If this is done I want there to be a mode where you take on a city in the 430’s and everything is going to hell around you the goal isn’t to win but survive
