Players trade, raid, and conquer other cities in order to acquire different resources or because once conquered cities pay the player tribute. Common resources exported early in game are excess food goods, although marble, lumber, or bronze are common additions. Players can harvest, mine, or grow resources and sell them to other cities for Drachmas. While players are given Drachmas to start out each scenario, imports and basic expenses cause the need for export. Each level of difficulty lessens the Drachmas and increases the chances of God or enemy invasion. Starting with Beginner, Mortal, Hero, Titan, and Olympian. Unlike most games having two to three difficulties both Zeus and Poseidon have an amazing five levels. Players create their own economy and trade with other cities, creating alliances and defeating enemies are common goals.

The player starts off by creating a road with homes, then focusing on the basic needs: food, water, and maintenance for buildings.

The Game also introduced two new gods to the game available to both the Greeks and Atlanteans, Hera-whose Sanctuary was accompanied by Orange Trees, and Atlas who could help speed up the construction of sanctuaries or with the Atlantean's Pyramids.

Its most visible addition was the new Atlantean theme, however the overall setup was kept the same the major changes being that instead of having Culture buildings like theaters, the Atlanteans have science buildings like observatories, and libraries. It is the expansion pack to Master of Olympus - Zeus. Master of Atlantis - Poseidon (also known as Zeus Official Expansion: Poseidon) is a historical city building game expansion pack set in ancient Greece.
