It seems like just yesterday we featured a game about Rome. Today, more of the ancient city with Roads of Rome II, a full-blown resource management/simulation game that calls upon My Kingdom for the Princess as inspiration. Not only will you be building a path through several unique environments, you'll also bribe barbarians, build settlements, and chop hundreds of trees as you wind your way up to the mountaintops to the home of the gods themselves!
The Caesar has been poisoned, and the only way to cure him is to make an appeal to the gods. The plan is to carve your way through the lands and build a long road leading directly to their abode. Hopefully, this will gain their favor and they will grant you a cure. But as it turns out, the gods have some favors of their own to ask, sending you on a long journey through over 40 levels of resource management challenge.
Roads of Rome II is all about gathering and spending resources. Workers are needed to do everything from filling in holes and building bridges to picking up materials laying on the ground. Simply click on something you want done and, if a worker is free, he'll hop to it. You'll need to stock up on food, provided by berry bushes and pig farms, wood, provided by chopping down trees and by sawmills, and later, gold and rock. Most actions require a resource or two to complete, so managing your task order is just as important as managing your stockpiles.
Most levels have goals in addition to the usual "build a road to the exit" objective, and these vary from collecting unique items to clearing rock, creating certain structures, and exploring parts of the map. Buildings are key to quickly finishing stages in Roads of Rome II, as they provide resource bonuses that need only time to replenish themselves. No tree chopping or berry picking necessary. Later levels also feature different ways of collecting resources, such as lumber laying on the ground for free or seaweed in place of berries.
As you work through levels in Roads of Rome II, you'll unlock more buildings as well as upgrades for existing structures. Early on, you'll gain access to better barracks that allow you to operate two and three workers at a time. Each level you must upgrade these buildings all over again, and deciding which order to do so will vary depending on your tasks as well as the layout of the map.
Analysis: Roads of Rome II builds a more active simulation/resource management game by keeping your attention focused on what's happening on the screen as opposed to boring numbers. Workers are your real focus: what they're doing, where they're at, what they could be doing next. Keep their little hands busy and you won't have any trouble carving a path across the wilderness.
Variety is what makes this game so enjoyable, as Whiterra wasn't content with leaving anything but the core elements the same throughout the levels. One minute you're picking berries for food, the next eating seaweed and scaring away evil squid. The diversity is both visual and structural, and it all looks and plays perfectly from beginning to end.
The gameplay still feels like it has a ways to go before you have solid control over your workers. Our main complaint is the lack of a queuing system. You can only assign an action if a worker is free, otherwise you must wait for one to return to the camp. Why not let the player set up a chain of events, even if it's limited to two or three actions ahead of time?
Roads of Rome II is great entertainment, and a perfect diversion for a rainy afternoon. The challenge level is just right, the visuals are clean and professional, the sense of accomplishment you'll get from paving your way to the home of the gods is strong!

Roads of Rome II - Walkthrough
General
The game has 40 level, 10 per episode - there is a bonus level on the map, but you need to have finished all other level in gold to get access.
After finishing a level you can replay it as often as you wish by clicking its flag on the map and then press the start button.
You can also restart a level during the play by pressing the menu button.
Trees will give you 2 units of wood - but you pay this with 1 unit of food.
Berry bushes will provide you with 2 units of food - they are for free, but it takes a little time to collect them.
Producing buildings need to be built with 6 units of wood and provide you then with 5 units of wood, food, gold or stones.
Upgrading will cost additional wood, each upgrade gives you 1 more unit of the product.
The workers hut will give you an additional worker per upgrade, workshop and smithy will fasten your working speed.
Starting with level 3 upgrading the hut will be your first job in each level.
The storage house (which needs additional 2 units gold to be build) will provide you with 1 additional unit of every product you collect (after upgraded to the max with 3 units), including gold from gold heaps, wood from trees and berries from bushes.
The storage house will give shelter to the workers. A worker will always return to the house, which is nearest by to his last job. When you click some to get a job done, the worker which is most near to the location will do it. So in some cases it more useful to wait until a worker comes back to the house which is nearby, than to let one run, which needs much longer to reach the job.
Please keep this in mind - latest in Episode 4 the storage house is one of the most important buildings!!
Boat house and balloon tower do not need upgrades as their meaning is to transport you to an otherwise not reachable location.
On random bases you will find bonus items as a sack, shoes, axe, hammer. Clicking them will give you additional units (sack) or faster (work) speed for the time it is running.
You will see the time running down on the bar on the top right of the screen.
Bandits and statues want to have a ransom - click them (as well as all buildings) to see what they need to give away.
Sometimes wild animals appear (bear, eagle, dragon) - when this happens, the workers will finish their actual job quickly, go home, and not leave until the animal is gone. Simply click it twice or three times to make it disappear.
In some levels the animal comes more than once, but will always appear in the same spot.
You will not have to build all buildings or fill all gaps in each level. To do so will give you more score points, which you can use to best yourself by replaying the game.
As long as you fulfill your tasks in time you will always get the gold flag, no matter what you've built or not.
Upgrade your building always right after they gave you the product - the working process will start from the begin after an upgrade. So better wait, with the upgrade.
The level time stops when the last worker reached the house, not when the last task is done.
Your main task in EACH level is to build a road - the walkthrough does not mention this task in the "task-announcement"!

Level 9
Tasks: Get 4 crystals, get a rune stone
General for this level: The berries are your friends - you will need to collect them when ever possible.
You will need to focus and not lose track, as you have to work on several sides. This is what makes the level so hard.
After paying the pirate, your workers should be more less constantly busy, so try to already have your mouse on the road/heap/building and click as soon as it gets green.
Do not forget to collect the resources - it is is easy to oversee the food of the pig farm and the stones from the quarry.
Take care that you use the hammer in a moment where you have all four workers and enough resources on stack to let them all work. The hammer is necessary in this level to get gold, but you need to use it at the right moment.
When you are lucky, a pair of fast boots will appear at the end of the level on the left side, reachable only with the balloon. If so, use it at the end of the level for the rune or the last one or two parts of the road.

Use hammer and axe if available during the level, but when you see it is going to an end, leave the hammer to use it for the last temple.
