You can buy a digital copy from [GOG](https://www.gog.com/game/caesar_3) or\n[Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/517790/Caesar_3/), or you can use an original CD-ROM version.\n\nThe goal of the project is to have exactly the same game logic as Caesar 3, with the same look\nand feel. This means that the saved games are 100% compatible with Caesar 3, and any gameplay bugs\npresent in the original Caesar 3 game will also be present in Julius.\n\nEnhancements for Julius include:\n- Support for widescreen resolutions\n- Windowed mode support for 32-bit desktops\n- A lot of small in-game [quality of life improvements](https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/wiki/Improvements-from-Caesar-3)\n- Support for the [high-quality MP3 files](https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/wiki/MP3-Support) once provided on the Sierra website\n\nSupported platforms:\n- Windows\n- Linux AppImage\n- MacOS\n- PS Vita\n- Nintendo Switch\n- Android\n- Any compatible browser (Emscripten)\n\nWhile Julius does not implement any gameplay changes, a fork of Julius named [Augustus](https://github.com/Keriew/augustus) is implementing many long-wanted gameplay changes, such as roadblocks. So use Julius for a more vanilla experience with some visual improvements, or Augustus for a different gameplay experience.\n\nNote: Julius save games are fully compatible with the original Caesar 3 save files and vice versa. Augustus can load original/Julius save games, but save games made with Augustus cannot be loaded in Julius or original Caesar 3.\n\n![](res/vita/bg.png)\n\n## Running the game\n\nFirst, download the game for your platform from the list above. Alternatively, you can [build Julius](doc/BUILDING.md) yourself.\n\nThen you can either copy the game to the Caesar 3 folder, or run the game from an independent\nfolder, in which case the game will ask you to point to the Caesar 3 folder.\n\nNote that you must have permission to write in the game data directory as the saves will be\nstored there. Also, your game must be patched to 1.0.1.0 to use Julius. If Julius tells you that\nyou are missing it, you can [download the update here](https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/wiki/Patches).\n\nSee [Running Julius](https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/wiki/Running-Julius) for further instructions and startup options.\n\n## Bugs\n\nJulius recreates many bugs that you can find in original Caesar 3 game, to preserve 100% saves compatibility. See the list of [Bugs \u0026 idiosyncrasies](https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/wiki/Caesar-3-bugs) to find out more.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["C","By Industry","Games","City-Building games","Strategy"],"sub_categories":["Gaming"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbvschaik%2Fjulius","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbvschaik%2Fjulius","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbvschaik%2Fjulius/lists"}
