The third of the series, this building strategy, men running around collecting and building things for you seems harder to me that the first two. The trick seems to be to watch out for collecting too much raw materials - if you do - you run out of time! So for the challenge part of the game - very good and an interesting twist. Having bought and played the previous two Roads of Romes I did not enjoy this one quite as much but will probably dust it off and play again in a few months.
I recommend this game!
Roads of Rome II
Take up new tricky tasks and overcome challenges in Roads of Rome 2, a game that combines Strategy and Time Management gameplay!

This building strategy - men running around doing your bidding - finish in expert - rebuild the city - game to this player is an improvement on the first Roads of Rome. There appears to be a better grip on the strategy part for me. The later levels become quite hard and give you a good challenge. Sufficiently different story and graphics to be worth the purchase if you already have the first one.
I recommend this game!

Here is a building strategy game - it is fairly similar to My Kingdom for The Princess but just does not, to me, give the same fun factor. There is the usual manner of finding out by trial and error the correct strategy to finish a level with the highest score - the little men run around and do your bidding (got to love that part) - the story is good - its makes sense - moves your forward and gives good reason for actually building the levels! Would recommend.
I recommend this game!

Here is the third of the series! Once again you have a battle on your hands to beat each level and gain expert level. You direct your little men to build, collect and chop - find the right order of doing things - and hey pesto - you receive expert level. This game, as with the other two of the series - has enormous replayability either immediately having finished it or a few weeks down the line.
I recommend this game!

This is the second of the series and it is sufficiently different enough to warrant the purchase. It is a building strategy game where you direct your little men to build in the quickest or best way to obtain expert level. If you loved My Kingdom For The Princess I - do give this one a go. Good replayability either straight away or a couple of months down the line.
I recommend this game!

Having feel in love with Royal Envoy and had my opinion of all Time Management games being too busy smashed along came this game. It is a building, strategy game with little men you direct to build. To get expert level you need to work out the quickest and best strategy of order in which to do things. It is not a DASH game - it is a thinking persons game. It is a game where you replay, replay and replay either straight away or a couple of months later. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

The third in the series, this Azada although done in hidden object form keeps the same high quality puzzles that just make you want to complete them on your own without skipping. You find objects you need as opposed to junk piles and can collect things you do not need until much later on as opposed to having to trek back at the appropriate time. The puzzles are different to any before and not too many scenes open for examination at once. The hint system is good - it either states there is nothing to be done here or shows you where you should be looking. The graphics are beautiful and the story keeps you interested without confusing you so that you cannot remember where you are or what you are doing.
I recommend this game!

Fun crisp clear cartoon graphics - amusing yet sometimes grating commentary - a simple golf solitaire (the type of patience game not theme!) with a twist. Delightful little story - many many achievements to be won - strategy of choosing the order of power ups makes this game totally replayable. Nothing for me to specifically dislike - if you played the original Fairway Solitaire this both updates that version and adds extra elements that make it worthwhile to purchase.
I recommend this game!
