Caesar 3

This is probably the best CityBuilding game I have ever played. Once you start to get into it you will find that it is more of a puzzle game than a city builder. If you are looking for a simulation or a game that is realistic this is not for you. The game definitely has its own concepts you have to grasp in order to really improve. All in all I have spent more time on this than I care to admit. Highly recommended.

I played this game when I was young and then forgot about it. Then it was advertised to me that it was ported on modern machines. I did not blink an eye before buying this title. If you like city-builders this game is a must have. Some AI decisions are irrational at best but are due to designs and well-known by the community (e.g. market traders). Once you understand those mechanics, you are all set to build your own great roman city. The game has its challenge in its story mode where you go through assignments on managing and growing different roman cities throughout the empire. The in-game wiki let you have a glimpse on roman history as well. I spent 50 hours playing by selecting only military assignment in the campaign. Indeed, at a certain point you have to choose between peaceful or military missions. This means that I could re-do a career and select only the peaceful part raising up the playing time to nearly 80 hours (I guess I'll be quicker on specific mechanics). To conclude, with only the mechanics and the game atmosphere, you should try this game.

Caesar 3 was my first love in strategy gaming. I loved this game so much I started to think there would never be another game as good until I played Emperor:Rise of the Middle Kingdom. I could not play Caesar 3 for a long time because it did not work on Windows 10. But now it does thanks to our friends at GOG. At first Caesar 3 may seem hard to manage; but once one gets a hold of it, one will do okay. Caesar 3 is a great strategy ciassic.

Caesar III is one of the classic games made by Sierra on the main ancient civilisations. I spent countless hours playing this as a kid and learnt a great deal fronm it. Today, this is fully playable on moder machines. Make sure to download "Augustus"; an unoffoicial mod created by the community that greatly enhances the game without modifying game files.
