Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a focused combat game may find the city management, economy, diplomacy, and logistics systems demanding
- Players seeking short, self-contained sessions may bounce off the 65-episode campaign and broad city-building scope
- Players looking for a modern setting will not find one here, since the campaigns center on Ancient Greece and Atlantis
Our take on Zeus + Poseidon
The bounce point arrives when city growth has to be balanced against taxation, trade, logistics, diplomacy, warfare, and mythological threats. Players who want to focus on battles may lose interest before reaching the strategic payoff, while campaign-focused players face a 65-episode structure.
What is Zeus + Poseidon?
Build city-states beside the Aegean Sea and across Atlantis by laying roads, raising monuments, setting taxes, managing trade, and organizing logistics.
The campaign includes 65 episodes covering seven city-states and two civilizations: Ancient Greece and Atlantis. Construct sanctuaries, pyramids, stadiums, bibliotheques, and observatories while mining orichalc. Diplomacy lets neighboring cities become allies or vassals, while armies and fleets support battles on land and sea. Mythological heroes can confront plagues and monsters, and gods and goddesses can be appeased for protection. The game also includes colonies in the ancient Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia, plus an Adventure Editor for creating scenarios.
