Caesar IV vs. Imperium Romanum

I'm hesitating between these two games. Is there a real difference? I really liked Caeasr III, but then again, Caesar IV kinda feels like the same old thing with better graphics, while Imperium Romanum feature a more detailed military, trade etc. Also a sequel will appparently come out in March. Has anyone played both? Price isn't a factor.
 
Without having played Imperium Romanum I'd say: play Imperium Romanum. Caesar IV does not look good. It looks cold and even on max ugly. It feels like playing some Auto-CAD program or MS-Excel.
 
I uninstalled both of those games after an hour or two of playing them. I liked Ceasar 3, but somehow I didn't like these games at all. I might give them another chance at some point, but I guess I'd rather give Imperium Romanum another chance than Rome 4.
 
Play Europa Universalis: Rome, and the Vie Victus expansion.

Best Rome game on the market. Hands down.

Obviously you never played Two Thrones or Crown of the North. You're right that it's not very good, though, although Vae Victis does help a bit.

@OP: Have you tried Children of the Nile? If you're looking for a city-builder and if you can live with it not being Roman-styled, you might want to try that. I enjoyed it very much. Supposedly Tilted Mill recently released a mini-expansion, but I haven't tried that.

I own Svea Rike and Havets Vargar, and I enjoy kick danish ass in both of them. In Rome, I just had NO fun at all.
