Sim City, Ancient Rome Style

It's a cute little game. It reminds me of the Sim City games, but Ancient Rome style. I liked it. One thing I would have enjoyed more was opportunities to restore trees and perhaps provide broader choices when it came to selecting provinces to build cities in. More scenarios couldn't have hurt either.

This game has a simple looking box and jewel case but dont let theses two things fool you. once you start to play this game it hits...the graphics and the sound are all at a great level and they did a great job on the gameplay side of things also. this is a game that you will start to play and once you start you will not realize how many hours have gone by since you started. so this is a game that is a must buy

good product for learning a little about Rome

I bought this product for my daughter, age 12. Her school used it as part of a intro to languages program. She loves it!

Ceasar 3

When I found this on the internet I immediatly bought it. It looked very exciting. Buy when I found out the real parts of the game, I kind of felt like I wasted my money. The good part is the improvement Sierra made with the Empire/City/Battlefield maps. The bad part is you can never have your people happy with the Employment. Unlike Ceasar 2, you have to watch out for unnemployment and not enough workers. Once I was building a big city with large houses and when they turned into villas, the population went down by 200, and I couldn't bring it back up because I didn't have enough workers to power the appliances the houses needed (like fountains and markets). And that ruined my whole city. I wouldn't recommend this product to any people who hate wasting their time building and only to people who are extreme city builders.

try not to hum the theme from "Gladiator" while playing

I bought CIII when it first came out, and recently reinstalled it and started playing it again. It holds up nicely, especially compared to its successor game, Pharaoh, which was based on the same engine. While you can die waiting for your pyramids to be built in Pharaoh, Caesar III, in spite of a few minor faults, remains a fun challenge in city building.

One thing this game could have used was a minor revision to add the most useful feature of Pharaoh, the roadblock. A problem you'll find more troublesome in CIII than its successor is that "walkers" will wander all over the place, sometimes leaving parts of your city lacking essential services. Check the overlays frequently; make sure you have plenty of prefectures for fire control, with more needed in dry provinces, and engineer posts for preventing structural damage, with more required in wet provinces. Also make sure to keep the gods appeased. There's nothing worse in the Miletus sequence than getting Neptune upset and having him sink your entire fleet of fishing boats, a really bad scene.

Isn't it funny, by the way, that Romans ALWAYS have British accents?!

If you love Rome, enjoy city building simulations, and like strategy, this is a game for you, especially at this great price.

So good, you don't feel bad about wasting your life

This is probably one of the most addictive games I have ever played. So much so that I had to give it away so I could sleep on a regluar basis. The game is an excellent combination of Sim City and Civilization. Never mind the historical accuracy, this is your chance to rewrite history the right way. So kiss your social life goodbye, and build the roman empire city by city.

I really liked this game at first, but the I got further and further along and found that I couldn't get past a certain level, no matter which choice I took. The game wasn't too expensive, but I upgraded to Windows XP and now it doesn't work. My recommendation is not to buy it.

Waste of Money, Time, and Computer Resources

I am very displeased with Caesar III. Altough the game is fun at first, it becomes so difficult in the latter part of the game that I became frustrated.

Another problem is that you need a superfast computer in order to manager this program on your interface. For example, I have a Dell Pentium II @700 megahertz with 128 MB SDRAM. My computer should have handled the software fine, however to my surprise the program ran slow, and often I would have to reboot the computer because Caesar III would eat up my memory. Several of my friends tell me the same problems happened in their computers too. That's not coincidental! Its a problem for Caesar III.

My final problem with Caesar III is that the computer often misleads you into building certain temples, fora, and buildings at the wrong time. Unlike SimCity, the tools that Caesar III offers you in the game work against you. Which makes the game a terrible experience and a load of time in order to complete each sceneario. I know that Julius Caesar was fastidious leader, however I would never suspect that he his so hard to please in a software game.

This is what it comes down to: Don't purchase Caesar III. You'll find that many problems are common while running this program. I suggest that you find other software programs to purchase.

Caesar-Pharoah, whatever

I bought Pharoah first, so when I played Caesar, I realized I'm just in a different country. Don't misunderstand me, both are really good games; not too easy, not too hard.

Nice Game
