Finally, the add-on comes with a neat little Adventure Editor, which lets you craft adventure in ancient Greece or Atlantis. Aside from the aesthetic differences introduced with the change to an island locale, the level of graphics remain pretty much the same as in Zeus. Poseidon is much more about prettying the game up than it is about changing gameplay or adding new features, but when it comes down to it, aren't all city-building games really just about constructing a beautiful city and watching the populace thrive in it?
Poseidon adds enough eye-candy to the mega-hit Zeus to recapture your attention and perhaps rekindle your love for everything old and Greek. Browse games Game Portals.

Artemis is his master when he isn't attacking something of his own free will. When Ares doesn't have anything for the Dragon to do, the Dragon finds his own trouble. Though he owes his existence to Hephaestus and obeys him, Talos still has a mind of his own. Ever an independent spirit, he also follows his own battle plan.
She is a card-carrying member of the cult of Dionysus, but she can also act alone. When she isn't wreaking havoc of her own volition, she follows Hera's orders. Her sense of destruction is also well-refined.
She's more than willing to attack on her own, but also does Atlas' bidding. Headstrong, Echidna reports to no one; she always acts on her own. No one would dare order the Harpies around, not even a god.
When a monster is turned loose in your city, and the god is angry with you, you're in trouble. Fortunately, there are a few ways to go about killing the creature. If you have a lot of elite soldiers, you might be able to get rid of the beast. The only god that will fight off monsters is Apollo. The other gods don't feel that that kind of thing is a wise use of their powers. The best way is to use a Hero that can accomplish the task.
Heroes If there is a quest that needs to be fulfilled, or if there is a monster destroying your city, a hero will be needed to be brought into the city. If you have a problem with Berberus or Hydra, Hercules is your man. He can match up against Hector and the Maenads. He knows how to fight Scylla and the Cyclops. He's the only man who can take on the Minotaur and Calydonian Boar. Medusa and the Kraken are his enemies.
To request a Hero, you need to construct a Hero's Hall. Also, make sure that the Hero's Hall is connected by a road. Right-click on the Hall for details on what is required to seek a Hero's presence.
As you meet each requirement, it will be "checked" off the list. If there is a monster that needs slaying, the Hero will know what to do. If you're sending the Hero to fulfill a request, just let the Hero know when you want him to go off and complete the quest. To send him on his way, select the Summary Tab, and then click on the small green button. Or, you can click on the Magnifying Glass button on the Summary Tab. You'll see the Quest listed in the panel that appears.
Click on the quest to send the Hero off. Keeping Track Of Everyone The Mythology Tab will list all of the gods, monsters, and heroes, so you can keep a tab on everyone. For more information on this, read pages in the manual. If you want your city to continue on, you will need to build an army. Invaders will approach your city, looking for more land or other things, so you'll just have to defeat them before they are able to take over your city.
Before you can build a military, you'll need a Palace. The Palace is where everything starts from. This aspect of the game isn't really worth repeating, so I suggest that you read the entire chapter on Military. You'll learn about the different types of military, the formations, the buildings, and much, much more. It is, however, important that you read this section.
No one wants to live in a city of nothing but Industrial buildings and workshops. So, this is where you have to use the Aesthetics to make the city look better. The game manual gives a small description of each of the many things you can use to make the city look better.
So, I will suggest that you read them for yourself. In fact, I suggest that you read the whole section, pages I'll do my best trying to lead you through it. Note: Most of the walkthroughs were done in "Beginner" for difficulty, which allowed me to go through things a little faster in the game, so there will be slightly different things happening depending on what difficulty you have your game set on, such as some numbers I may use in the walkthroughs.
The priestess from the oracle said to follow a cow? A peculiar command to be sure, but then the priestess is never wrong. She promised that great things would come to the person who follows her cow until it lays down to sleep, and then builds a city on the spot. This person will be able to achieve and finally bring Europa back to Greece. The beautiful Europa was abducted years ago by a white bull and has not been seen since.
And thus, the priestess' Bovine-centric prophecy came to an end. The cow did not choose a very good spot. She fell asleep a short distance from a hideous multi-headed serpent that purportedly, belongs to Ares. The monster is always ravenously hungry and eats everything that comes near him!
Building a city here won't be easy, but the promised reward is irresistable! For me, Hydra wasn't near my city, so it never posed a threat. This level was an excellent transition from the tutorials to the game. This level is relatively simple, yet offers the basic situations that you will encounter, such as employment problems, food problems, and health problems.
Food You have two options here. Wheat or Cheese. A single wheat farm produces more food than a single Dairy. So, wheat would be your best bet, although I actually went the opposite route, which turned into an employment problem if I remember correctly. To the left side of the map, you'll see a lovely meadow area.
I don't suggest building here. In a future episode on this map, a lava eruption will destroy nearby buildings and cause havoc. Military Unfortunately, your rivals want your city, so you must defend it in some way. I chose the route of bribing them, which worked. Overall This was a fairly easy city.
The main thing I did that prolonged my stay in the city was planned for a larger city. I built a lot of food-producing structures Wheat Farms, Dairies that I really didn't need yet. This caused problems with the employment. Ares' multi-headed serpent will not leave Thebes alone, and as the city grows, the monster is bound to cause more trouble, plus you could really use some sort of that marble it seems to be guarding.
For the good of the city, the serpent must be slain. No ordinary human can perform this extraordinary task, however. You'd need the help of a hero! So unless you want buildings and people destroyed and killed, you will need to kill Hydra. To kill Hydra, you need to seek Hercules. Hercules' Hall will need certain things to bring Hercules to the city. Once you have killed Hydra, you can begin quarrying marble.
Building a half-dozen Masonry Shops will be enough. Once you have 48 slabs of marble produced in one year, the scenario will come to an end.
He has this thing for serpents- single- headed double- headed, dunder- headed- It doesn't matter. He loves them all. And, he really liked how the song listened off all those heads. But, do you know what Ares likes almost as much as serpents? Big, big sanctuaries built just for him! He likes to conduct what he calls 'Ambush Practice' in a Sanctuary's twisting halls, but to most it seems like he's playing hide and seek. If you build a Sanctuary for Ares, the god will be thrilled to have a new place to practice the art of war, and he'll forget all about the serpent.
He'll even take some of the slain serpent's teeth, sow them in the earth, transforming them into fiercly powerful soldiers called Sparti. These soldiers will do your building and help to protect Thebes. Heel my advice, mortal, and good luck. Although Ares' Sanctuary isn't huge, it has wondeful benefits. Two companies of Mythical Warriors will join your military forces, and if you pray to Ares, he may accompany you on a distant battle.
As you've read before, you'll need marble, wood, and sculptures. Hopefully, you already have an excess of marble, so this shouldn't be a problem. You will need to import wood from Libya, which will require a Pier. Don't import too much. For Ares' Sanctuary, only 14 loads of wood is required, so importing more won't be necessary. Sculptures are the third item you need to finish the Sanctuary. To obtain sculptures, you have three options that will all work. I would suggest requesting them from your ally Calydon.
They are essentially free this way. Before you place the Sanctuary, we must talk about placement. I ended up placing it on the right-hand side of the map, which was a big mistake, although it still worked. All of the monsters that come in to destroy your city come from the left-hand side of the map, so placing the Sanctuary there is the smartest thing to do. Finally we get to use Elite Houses. These are much more demanding than 'common' housing.
The first thing an Elite House needs is an area of high appeal. Constructing several Fish Ponds nearby can help this out. Elite Houses require a lot of goods to remain occupied and attractive. Once the house can be placed on the map, you must provide it with a constant 'feed' of goods and culture.
For providing the goods, Grand Agoras are suggested. They were designed specifically for Elite Housing, as they can hold up to six vendors.
Other than the Agoras, you will need to have the goods nearby, so the vendors may retrieve the goods. As mentioned above, you must provide the Elite Houses with a lot of culture. If a house isn't evolving, right-click on it to see what the problem is. Most commonly, it is suffering from: Not enough appeal, Not enough culture, or it needs Armor.
As the woman drew closer, it became clear that she wasn'r riding on the sea, but on the back of a great white bull! The bull deposited the woman on our shores, and Talos, a bronze man forged by Hephaestus, guards the woman night and day.
The bronze man guards our island, too, preventing invaders from doing any harm. It has been prophesied that a leader from Thebes will come to our island and take this woman from us. We fear that if the leader succeeds, Talos will no longer guard our island.
And, since you are from Thebes, you might just be the one that will change our world completely! You get a new map, and you must build a successful colony. It's what you make of it. This map is extremely small. You'll notice Talos in the upper-left corner of the map. There is one decision that you must make here. Should I kill Talos? I didn't. It's not a requirement of the city. Talos won't venture too close to your city if you don't get too close to him.
He just paces back and forth up there. If you do decide to kill Talos, you'll need the aid of Jason. Also, Trireme Wharves require workers each, so you'd really have to have a heck of a city. My suggestion would be to leave him alone. He ends up appearing later on again anyway, and you're just wasting time acquiring those goods, which will in turn produce no real benefits, other than allowing you to build in the area Talos was pacing in.
Start your city as far to the right as possible. Wood is all over the place, so meeting that requirement shouldn't be too hard to complete. Wine will take a little longer to produce. You'll need to plant some Grapevines in the meadow area. You'll also have to build a few Growers' Lodges. Wineries and Storehouses are the next buildings in the chain of wine production. You will receive requests for both Wine and Food, be sure that you have some extra for that purpose.
Hephaestus, Aphrodite, and Ares were in attendance, along with notable leaders from all over the world. Ares and Aphrodite beamed with pride as they each presented Harmonia with a gift. Aphrodite gave the bride a gorgeous necklace that Hephaestus had made, and Ares presented the bride with a beautiful and ornate robe. But the gift that you brought to the wedding was the best of all. Ecstatic over the return of their sister, Cadmus and Thasus have become your stauch allies, while Phoenix anc Cilix opened their distant cities, Phoenicia and Cilicia, to trade.
Harmonia and Cadmus even agreed to present you with the robe and necklace, though they thought it best to send you the gifts later, after the gods had left, so not to offend them. Only two things marred the ceremony. The first was the fear that Talos would arrive on the scene at any moment. The second was the shocking lack of wine! Wine has been difficult to come by in Greece lately, except in Mount Cithaeron, which has an abundance of the beverage.
The people of Mount Cithaeron are refusing to share their supplies, keeping all the wine to themselves. The introduction gives you a hint to the monster you'll have to defeat Talos. Defeating Talos will require the help of Jason.
For the requirements of his Hall, view the walkthrough for the previous episode, as I've included it there. Getting Jason to your city will be no simple task, that's for sure. One thing you'll need for sure is Armor. You need it for the Triremes and Horsemen Companies. You'll also need a supply of Horses. You have to have plenty of food in your city at this time. Jason's Hall will require 64 crates of food, which is equivalent to two full granaries. Getting the triremes is a pain in a way.
One Trireme Wharf requires employees, which is a drain on the workforce if you are suffering from employment problems. Fortunately, a Trireme Wharf has the option to send people home when the Trireme isn't built yet. In theory, you can turn one of them on at a time, as your workforce will allow. When you've met all of the goals, you can call for Jason. Once Jason arrives, he'll fight Talos, who is "guarding" the Marble Quarry. You need that marble for the Sanctuary you have to build.
Cithaeron 3 Sanctuaries The situation at Mount Cithaeron has gotten out of control. Nearly all of Greece's supply of wine is hoarded there, and now strange things are happening around the city.
There have been reports that bodies of sheep, goats, and even, people, gruesomely torn apart, have turned up nearby. The attacks seem much too vicious to be the work of a wandering pack of wolves or an angry wild boar.
The frightening deaths have scared the people of Mount Pelion into hiding, and they have not had contact with anyone for some time. Adrastrus of Argos has stopped trading, choosing not to risk the lives of his merchants for a few measly drachmas and supplies. The only solution of this problem is to invade Mount Cithaeron and see what is going on there for yourself.
The Elite Housing that you built in the previous episode should provide a nice army of troops. If you didn't do very well with this aspect, be sure to do so. I chose the Garden of Demeter for this sanctuary.
If you build it so that she walks by your wheat farms, she can bless them, and that will make the wheat farm turn out 4x the normal amount of wheat, which is a great bonus.
Conquerering Mount Cithaeron is not much of a challenge. It will turn out that the killing of the sheep, goats, and people is due to The Maenads. If I remember correctly, Cydonia will ask for help with Talos, who is attacking their city. Praying to Ares is helpful here, although you can probably call for Jason if you want, although I don't suggest it. Once the Sanctuary is up, and you have ruled Mount Cithaeron, it's on to your next episode.
The Maenads are everywhere, leaving cities throughout Greece in shambles. Now, Dionysus has rallied his Maenads to attack Thebes to punish you for destroying his home. If things are ever going to return to normal, you will have to find a way to kill those horrible monsters and restore a feeling of safety to the people of Greece so that trade and diplomatic exchanges may be conducted once again. You should already have nine of the eleven required trading partners.
Before we get carried away with the trading partner goal, we must prepare for the Maenads. You will need the help of Achilles. His Hero's Hall will not become available until the Maenads are at the city, but I'd suggest preparing your city for the requirements for the Hall. Below are the requirements that your city must meet for his appearance in your city: - 32 Suits of Armor - 3 Hoplite Companies or better - A Sanctuary to Athena - No unrest in the city - 16 Amphorae of Wine Okay, back to the trading partner goal.
Once I killed the Maenads, Elyusis opened a trading route with me. When I killed another Maenad, the 11th city traded with me, and this ended the episode.
The double-crosser has claimed the throne of Thebes, and promised Adrastus of Argos and Tydeus of Calydon these and other spoils if they help him take your city. You must defeat those villains to keep what's rightfully yours. Slowly, Hephaestus has put two and two together and finally understood why Ares and Aphrodite had both been so proud of Harmonia at her wedding, and why the gorgeous goddess of the tender passions thought it necessary to spend 9 months at a beauty spa some twenty years ago.
Hotter than the metals he pounds in his forge, Hephaestus has decided to destroy all that she holds dear, whether it be a mortal, a monster, or a city! Basically, you've got to have a strong military to conquer those three cities and defend your own city against invaders. Bribery is always a smarter way of handling things, at least in this episode.
My notes indicate that Hephaestus invaded several times, and Ares was the person who defended the city against him. The goal you may find difficult is the people in Estate or better. Right-click on an Elite house to see what it needs to evolve.
That's the best advice I can offer for that goal. Once you have met the goals, it's on to a whole NEW city and adventure! Now, a new day is dawning, and the time has come for a leader to rise up and, for the first time, draw the people together, uniting them in a mighty city.
Zeus himself has selected you to achieve this remarkable feat and has pointed you to a site in the Argolid. The city's name will be Argos. People will flock to the city in hopes of learning a trade and feeding their families, and they will expect you to provide for them.
Other would-be leaders in Greece are also trying to start new cities. Some of them will achieve [can't read my writing] of success, while others will fail completely.
You might encounter them in your journeys. There are a lot of rocky areas, which will not allow for building. There are a lot of forested areas as well. This map allows for fishing, and you'll have to do a lot of it to support the city and its food need. There is a Marble Quarry on the map, which will indicate that we'll probably have to mine marble for either building a sanctuary or using it for trading exports.
Fleece production is very important on this map, and in this episode. To get Homesteads, they require a supply of fleece. Also, there is the Fleece goal that you'll have to meet as well. Troezan is the only trading city, and they only want Fleece. Requesting Drachmas is the best and easiest way of getting the profit goal met. If you would like to plan for the next episode, I suggest you produce an overabundance of food. You'll run into trouble with your Fisheries in the next episode, and will be unable to produce any Fish.
So, have a few extra Granaries full would help a great deal. The time has come to build a Palace that will serve as the staff around which the scattered the people of Greece will gather. It is also time to begin collecting taxes from your people to help pay for the services that your city provides. Sorry, Poseidon. Under his breath, he vowed that if he couldn't have Argos, no one could! You might have to turn to Hera's husband for protection from the ruler of the sea! Before I jump right into the walkthrough, I have to warn you of natural disasters.
When I played this level, I encountered two earthquakes and two tidal waves. You may run into more or fewer than that, but it all depends on how long you are in this episode.
You are introduced to the olive oil and marble industries in this episode. Housing will need olive oil if it is to reach the Homestead status. As I mentioned before, you must store food for this level ahead of time. Posiedon lurks the waters and will destroy a few fisheries, and curse the others, making them useless.
Due to the fact that Poseidon is on this level, and the Sanctuary for Zeus is available, I decided to build it. You cannot complete it on this level, since there is no access to sculptures. But, you can get a good jump on the building of the structure on this level, and finish it up on a later episode when you can get sculptures.
If you do decide to build Zeus' Stronghold, it is massive in size, and it needs a lot of supplies. First, her beloved Kernyeian Hind, a majestic stag, was wounded by Hercules who was trying to capture the animal. Then, the people in and around the region of Calydon refused to worship her properly. The depressed Artemis turned to her Menagerie of animals for solace and, when she saw her mighty boar, snorting and snarling in his pen, her eyes lit up, and a small smile played across her face There isn't much in terms of meadow areas.
This program gives you the ability to change what resolution the game runs at. It does so by modifying the x option so that it will instead run the game at the resolution you specified within reason - some numbers cause bugs or simply can't be supported. It also resizes various elements of the game's UI to fit the new resolution. To do this, this resolution customiser needs an unmodified copy of the game's EXE.
Once done, it will create a modified copy of that EXE that you can drop into the location you installed the game. In short, this utility will give you a modified copy of Zeus' EXE that will run at the resolution you specified and which has all of the fixes that are present in the last EXEs Jack released.
You can optionally apply two additional patches to the game as well. The first is a fix for an animation bug where the game suffers from slow god and urchin quay animations on modern CPUs. The second is from the inability to switch the game into windowed mode if you have customised the game's resolution. Finally, this program can also automatically resize the game's background images to fit the new resolution. Is this game relevant to you? Sign In or Open in Steam. Languages :. Publisher: Activision.
