Caesar 3 Put an end to popups!

I have bought this game, and I love it. I am on the Ludgunum assignment right now, and I finished the Mediolanum assignment a couple of days ago. The Carthagian attacks on Mediolanum were huge! I must have spent around 20,000 denarii on walls, towers, and forts. I also managed to get a triumphal arch and a few villas.

Glad you enjoyed it - personally though I would have bought Pharoah instead of Caesar 3 since it's exactly the same except it's set in Egypt and it has also fixed up some of the small problems from Caesar 3.

I've thought of buying Caesar 3, but it seems similar to Pharaoh, which I already have.

dStryker: Now that you have Pharaoh, don't buy C3. It's basically the same game, but Pharaoh has better graphics, and better gameplay. Pharaoh is an evolution, and who wants to go back??

I am on the Damascus assignment now. I really enjoyed Lutetia. By the end of it I had a prosperity rating of 70 or so. I had 2 luxury palaces, 2 large palaces, 3 or 4 medium palaces, a few large and grand villas, and about 50 small villas. And almost all of my plebian housing was at least medium insulae level.

In Pharaoh, I've gotten a Prosperity rating of 100 before. I even got one house to become a Palatial Estate, the highest you can go. Then it ran out of beer and turned into a slum.

GeoDan: For some reason I have used roadblocks only once. My city still manages fine though, as long as I build like, a hundred Bazaars.

In Pharaoh, I think I'm on the 2nd or 3rd mission of the Old Kingdom period. I also got a Prosperity rating of 100 once. I had to destroy an entire forest to get it, but I just say the end justifies the means.

What are roadblocks for? And I'm assuming that beer takes the place of wine in Pharoah. What are the different ratings, anyway? And how many levels are in Pharoah?

You destroyed an entire forest? What a waste of trees (and money!) I'm also on a mission in the Old Kingdom. (Can't remember its name though)

Ghost Ham, I'll quote from the manual:

quote:

Roadblocks help you control the paths roaming walkers take. When walkers who roam the city encounter a Roadblock, they turn around. Roadblocks do not affect destination walkers


Anyway, it keeps certain people from going to places where they aren't needed. It also keeps people in the places needed of course.

Ratings:

Culture
Prosperity
Monument
Kingdom

I'm not sure how many levels (in Pharaoh they're called missions), but it's divided into periods like so:

Pre-Dynastic
Archaic
Old Kingdom
Middle Kingdom
New Kingdom

Each period has a certain amount of missions in it.

Reasons why Caesar II is a much better game then Caesar III:

-The voices actually sound Roman
-Graphics are functional, yet don't have obscenely huge statues of chariots and stuff
-The game is pleasant and the demented walker system is not yet fully developed
-It has a province layer, so I don't have to build teeny farms two metres away from the palaces
-Etc.

Hey, are you the St. Leo who used to post on the sc3000.com forums? This is Captain Hero, btw. And Caesar 2 is in some ways better than C3, especially because of the province level and the different choices of provinces. It is also better to command 500 troops rather than 16.

I just got Caesar 3.... pretty good game.. I'm on the third one... In Spain.. the peaceful one. I forget the name: Tarraco or something (I usually play peaceful cities). I picked up C3 over Pharoah because I always liked Rome better than Egypt.
