It looks like Empire Earth to me. My friend told me a few days ago that he had Populous 2 and after looking at Caesar 3 on my PC he told that is almost the same thing. Is that true? :blink:

Totally different games in every respect. The Populous titles were RTS/action hybrids. Caesar III was the prototype used by Sierra (and various spinoffs since) for building sims: put a marketplace there, add a street and a temple over there, drop a bath and an aqueduct here--mind you link it to a series of underground pipes--and achieve the goals Caesar sets for this scenario. Then you'll be moved to a new province. Sound familiar? It was done as well for Egypt, Greece and China. They even did a recent 3D version, which was not successful, and showed zero creativity.
