This guide is now mostly obsolete due to how much Augustus improve the game. There is NO reason for anyone, beginner and advanced players, to play without Augustus.Īugustus permits you to play without any of its improvement, turning essentially into Julius, giving you the same game as the original but with bug fixes and UI improvements, allowing you to alt-tab without the game exploding and crashing amongst other fixes. 'The aim of this project is to provide enhanced, customizable gameplay to Caesar 3 using project Julius UI enhancements.Īugustus is able to load Caesar 3 and Julius saves, however saves made with Augustus will not work outside Augustus. The goal of Augustus, a fork of the Julius project, is to go beyond just recreating Caesar III and to actually improve and implement changes to the game. This means that the saved games are 100% compatible with Caesar 3, and any gameplay bugs present in the original Caesar 3 game will also be present in Julius.' The goal of the project is to have exactly the same game logic as Caesar 3, with the same look and feel. You can buy a digital copy from GOG or Steam, or you can use an original CD-ROM version. Julius will not run without the original Caesar 3 files. 'Julius is a fully working open-source version of Caesar 3, with the same logic as the original, but with some UI enhancements, that can be played on multiple platforms. It took 10 years for this project to reach completion, a MASSIVE undertaking by Bianca van Schaik, a god amongst men. The goal of Julius is to remake the game from scratch so that it is possible to run it on current computers and into the future, with some UI enhancements. Many parts of this guide has been made OBSOLETE thanks to the Julius & Augustus open-source projects. I never play Caesar III without Augustus, trust me, you want to read this!
