- Make yourself at Rome: Caesar I and II now on GOG - 11 February 2017
The boys and girls at Good Aul Games have added the ancient ancient city-builder games Caesar and Caesar II to their roster of classics, along with their Chinese counterpart Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom which is less ancient (released in 2002) but still ancient (set 3000 years ago). For years, the only way to buy ’em was to track down a second-hand CD copy. GOG already had a bunch of Sierra’s city-building series on their ethereal shelves, including the later Caesars, so getting these old lads rounds out the collection. GOG are having a wee sale to celebrate. …
- Urban Empire Hotfix v1.1.6.5 (27/01/2017) - 26 January 2017
Version 1.1.6 Changelog: Booting up the main menu no longer applies the same language setting as the player’s system preferences.

FIX: Adjusted events parameters to fix some errors occurring with events that are confined to a specific era - eg. the “Hated Leader” event should now work as intended.

- Wot I Think: Urban Empire - 20 January 2017
Urban Empire is a city-building strategy game about politics and people rather than residential zones and monuments.

But how does this more personal and political approach to urban management work? Well, it’s unlikely to win the popular vote. …
