Yet although Zeus is similar to its predecessors, it offers numerous enhancements and improvements that make it a much better game. These include features and options reminiscent of Ensembles Age of Empires real-time strategy games as well as MicroProses classic Civilization series. As a result, Zeus plays like a best-of-all-worlds combination of some of the greatest strategy games ever. As the title implies, Zeus is set in ancient Greece.
