This game combining citybuilding and politics interests me. There are other games like Civcity Rome, Glory of the Roman Empire (out 1 week after Heart of Empire Rome) and Caesar IV. However, will be out first. It is a Deep Red game in the Tycoon series so it should be reliable. As I commented in another forum where I posted on this game, there seems little information out on it. It is out in 36 days in Europe.

Edit: I have not noticed a hippodrome. The colosseum seems to be in the place of the largest one, the Circus Maximus though that may be due to it being a particular scenario with its attendant restriction. Still the Circus Maximus should be in the game. Gaius Julius Caesar provided the first permanent stone structures for that ancient chariot race track.
