Does it play like Pharaoh? I played Pharaoh a ton as a kid and I see that this came out the same year as pharaoh. (For some reason I never heard of it until I saw it on GOG) Does it have a lot of the same aesthetic and ui? Because if it does that's fine with me. Oh, and can you build epic wonders like in Pharaoh and Emperor? From what I've read it seems like it's a minor improvement over Pharaoh. ie some minor quality of life improvements but I don't know how true that is. Anywho, thinking of getting it and just wondering.

Yep. Closer to Pharaoh. Story line in Zeus keeps a very interesting path. Starts emphasizing the Myth of Greek Culture and ending with the tough match up of Sparta vs Athens. It's interesting.

Poseidon is a completely fanciful "pre-Greek; pre-Atlanta Downfall" story. Similar in mechanics and fun.

Yes, they are all similar. Each has its own tweaks here and there but if you liked the others, you will like them all.
