As with a majority of city-building games, the purpose is to build your city to achieve the goals set aside for you by Rome, depending on which scenario you choose.
I found this game quite realistic because there are a lot of options to choose from, and that it seems rather picky when it comes down to where you build what.
Caesar IV may not necessarily be my type of city-builder, but it can definitely be fun and challenging if you want to build a real functional city, vs. one that is just nice to look at.
