Isn't it wonderful to make someone else work their tail off while you give the commands? In Roads of Rome you play as Victorius a young general in Caesar's army. Because you love Caesar's daughter, you will build all of the Roman roads he demands of you. Too bad he doesn't want you to marry his daughter and gives you bigger and bigger challenges, sending you to far flung and harsh environments.
The game play is very similar to my favorite Kingdom for the Princess games. In fact, it looks and plays almost exactly the same with a few key differences. Check out the walkthrough to get the details. Roads of Rome is maybe just slightly easier. However, this makes it fun for everyone as it is not difficult to get an expert on all levels, especially with the walkthrough, but it is also not a do-it-right-on-the-first-try game either.
The Roads of Rome Walkthrough has hints and tips for those who don't want step-by-step instructions. If you're stuck but not completely frustrated, you might want to just take a look at the general strategy before going to the walkthrough itself.
If you have not tried Roads of Rome yet, you should download it and give it a try. It's fantastically fun and challenging. And have no fear of getting stuck because help is here.
