After overthrowing the powers that be, Zeus , Hades and Poseidon divvied the world up. Poseidon landed the sea, and eventually the ocean deity stumbled upon a beautiful island inhabited by the even more beautiful Cleito. It wasn't long before Cleito bore Poseidon five sets of twin boys and the god named the land Atlantis after his eldest son Atlas. The land had everything it needed and in exchange made a pledge never to attack another people.
It wasn't long before Atlantis ran out of goodies and broke that pledge, angering the gods who sunk the island to the bottom of the ocean.
Maybe you can do better as you strive to balance your people's needs with the foreboding presence of the all-powerful gods. The city-building series moved the genre light-years ahead of its predecessors, Caesar and Pharaoh. Although there aren't epic improvements in Impressions' latest work, Poseidon breaks enough ground to renew the playability of Zeus.
Poseidon is chock-full of the usual suspects with 25 new episodes in four new adventures, new units to command during war, new monsters and new civilizations.
As with its predecessor, Poseidon is very faithful to the classic descriptions of its backdrop. In this case the vast island continent of Atlantis is based on Plato's writings, which purportedly were based on the earlier writings of ancient Egyptian priests. Plato describes the island as ten concentric rings, which make for excellent natural defense but make city building a bit tricky.

Developer's Description By Impressions Games. Attracting a hero to your city to defeat a monster is just one of many goals that you may be asked to achieve as you make your way through the adventures in Zeus: Master of Olympus. An adventure may begin in the Greek wilderness, where you will be asked to establish a city from whatever scant resources the rocky landscape has to offer.
Then, you may need to establish a colony on more fertile shores to ensure that your city receives the supplies it needs to sustain itself. Once the colony is established, it's back to the parent city, where you might build a sanctuary to a god of your choosing, conquer another city, or fend off a monster. A god might even ask you to undertake a quest to retrieve a mythical item, such as Hermes' Winged Sandals or the Golden Fleece. From there, who knows?
Maybe you'll need to establish another colony, or maybe you'll need to continue building the parent city. Full Specifications. What's new in version 1. Release November 8, Date Added November 8, Version 1. Operating Systems.
