Rising Star Games today announced that Cradle of Rome will hit the retail stores on October 10th, 2008. Cradle of Rome is an unconventional mixture of a city building game and a major casual component set in which your job is to build up an elaborate Roman city from scratch by building forges, mills, fountains and other scores of buildings. When your city is big enough, you will be able to recreate the Coliseum with gladiators and even the Pantheon. All the construction work is subsidized by certain points you get after completing some intuitive and addictive puzzles. There are several types of points: silver, gold, iron, wood, flour and many others which are essential for building a thriving city.
