Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of Roads of Rome 3 from Realore Studios. The game combines elements of strategy and time management titles, challenging players to save the Roman empire from barbarian invasion.

Here's an excerpt:

You see, the barbarians that used to just sit around and demand your resources for access to certain areas in different levels have begun acting, well, barbaric. They’ve been looting, pillaging, and more importantly setting fire to your settlements. So, the first thing you have to do in most levels is build a pumping station to get water to put out the fires. Then things get back to normal: building various structures, collecting resources, rebuilding roads. There are other new structures as well: Blacksmiths and Workshops allow you to have regular access to axes and hammers respectively, which speed up your use of those tools to collect resources and build things. These were previously available as random objects on certain levels; now you have to decide when to build them and how much to level them up on levels where they’re available. Taken together, these new structures definitely add to your need to strategize on certain levels and decide what, and in what order, to build your structures.
