Soldier, one hundred and ten, touring city that's not as good as expected

I believe the answer is:

anticlimax

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'touring city that's not as good as expected' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'soldier one hundred and ten' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'ant' (I've seen this before).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'hundred' becomes 'c' (Roman numeral).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'ten' becomes 'limax' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ant'+'i'+'c'+'limax'='ANTICLIMAX'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anticlimax that I've seen before include "Disappointing result" , "disappointing outcome" , "Disappointing end" , "Let-down after excitement" , "Disappointing ending" .)
