The level of challenge is medium-high, especially in the more advanced stages of the game and if you are dealing with a city on the edge of the empire, where forces hostile to the Roman Empire are camped, such as the barbarian troops, in that case, the difficulty is really extreme. Great involvement, at first glance they seem impossible matches, but over time, the game captures your attention, solving many problems inherent in the construction of a large city at the time of ancient Rome. As for the game, I have known Caesar 3 for over 30 years already. but not without having mounted the patch file! Otherwise the execution of the program ended with a request for 'CORRECT CD'. Luckily I have an old computer where I use Windows XP, and on that computer I was able to start it. Maybe the type of video card, sound card, maybe even the bios of the motherboard, I don't believe a problem related to the software, such as the type of operating system. Therefore it is possible that its operation may depend on situations concerning the computer hardware.

In fact I use Windows 7 and the game does NOT work at all. The Caesar 3 game belongs to that category that does not work according to the operating system that is used. There is a lot of micro-management, but not boring it's gratifying.

It's fair to say that Caesar III represents the best of both worlds. You will need to produce food, mandatory to sustain your population, wine, oil, pottery, weapons, furniture, and other items you can trade. At the same time, you must pay attention to the production and distribution lines so that people and resources can move adequately (just like the trade routes of The Settlers). You have to build and expand a city, deciding the residential zones (in Caesar II, the houses are built, in Caesar III, you choose the areas, as you do in SimCity) but also infrastructures, security, and religious buildings, recreational areas and so on. Caesar combines both elements of Sim City 2000 and The Settlers II. The game is set during classical antiquity, and all aspects of typical Roman city life are reproduced faithfully: food, resources, religion, military, and so on.

It's the third chapter of the popular series Caesar, created by David Lester. Caesar III is a city-building historical sim created by Impression Games and published by Sierra in 1998.
