Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The challenge of managing production and distribution of various goods while maintaining a steady workforce from the different classes of citizens is very enjoyable, and the campaign maps offer further challenge by setting different constraints and goals for you to accomplish, such as limited space for building and farming and the need to import certain goods you are unable to produce which differs from map to map.

It is a love letter to quality in graphics, difficulty balancing, and player experience, and quite frankly to gamers :)

By allowing you to choose between a wide variety of different gods and their bonuses, Nebuchadnezzar lets you customize your gameplay to suit your strategy and specific needs, which is really nice to see in a game like this.

Also, in older games when you click on citizens they would say funny lines or complain and the voice acting was great to really reflect how the citizens felt.
