Description

Zeus is a strategy game similar to Sid Meier's Civilization II; however, instead of the whole world, the eleven missions of the game are restricted to ancient Greece. The player starts with a capital from which he sends settlers to found villages. Up to three factories per village produce goods like wool, weapons or tools. These goods are available to all villages of the player's empire, surplus wares are sold to other empires. When a fight is inevitable the player sends troops to defeat the enemy which are recruited and trained in the capital.
