Impressions is aiming for more simplified gameplay in Zeus than in its earlier release Pharaoh. Each of the six heroes can defeat two of the nasties, but they'll only put in an appearance provided you've completed certain tasks. Once you've built a hall of heroes, you'll be able to summon them to defend your city. The other gods will send creatures such as Scylla, a minotaur or a medusa, but there's another way to fight back. The trouble is you can only build temples for four of the gods in your city, so you need to play diplomatically. Hades will help boost your silver production, but will also send a Cerberus if you get on the wrong side of him.
Ares, for instance, will fight alongside your army if he likes you and, if not, he'll send a huge dragon to make unpleasant things happen to your city and its citizens. You'll be rewarded in different ways by different gods. These gods will appear in your city in human form and, while they can be right royal pains, battling with each other in the streets and flattening buildings in the process, you can curry favour with them by building temples dedicated to their worship. 12 of them in all, ranging from Zeus, the most powerful of all, down to Aphrodite, Poseidon and Apollo. Unlike previous games in the series, though, you don't have to do it all on your own. Naturally, the object of the game is to build up the biggest, most powerful city state, knocking out or weakening your neighbours until you control all of ancient Greece. However, as in most building games, you do control your workers and soldiers, decide where to build and so on.
