Caesar III is part of Sierra's City Building Series and was released in October 1998. Cities in Caesar III try to accurately reflect the life of Roman citizens: the lowest plebians live in tents and shacks, while the richest patricians live in villas. Staple foods include wheat, fruits, vegetables, and pork, and wine is required for some festivals and houses. Citizens wander the streets in their various garbs and can tell the player their name and how they feel about the city. The city is viewed in a two-dimensional isometric view with a fixed magnification level and can be rotated ninety degrees. Access to services such as market goods, entertainment, hygiene, education, and taxation are represented by "walkers," people sent out from their buildings to patrol the streets. Any house that a walker passes is considered to have access to the services of the walker's building. All movements of goods and coverage of walkers are accurately reflected by citizens walking the streets: a player can watch a farm's crop progress, and when it's ready, a worker will push a full cart from the farm to a nearby warehouse or granary; then return with an empty cart. Background music is played, which varies according to the situation (gentle themes to begin with, war drums during times of conflict and triumphal music when the player nears the objective). Crowd noises supplement musical themes, the sounds of manufacturing and the clash of weapons at appropriate times. There are two ways to play the game: Mission Mode, which is equivalent to the typical "campaign" modes of other strategy games, and City Construction Mode, in which the player plays one scenario from scratch.
As a provincial governor charged with spreading the glory of Rome your mission is clear – build cities, foster trade and industry, make money. How you accomplish this is up to you. Gain wealth and power, make a career out of pleasing the emperor, battle barbarians and repel invaders, or concentrate on building the next Eternal City. Fail and you'll end up as lunch for the lions. Prove your strength of mind and spirit and you just might be crowned Caesar! To help you achieve that goal you can ask your advisors for their insight or ask the people about their thoughts. You can also build temples and create festivals to please the gods and receive rewards or aid in return. You can choose between peaceful and military assignments to prove in various ways that you deserve the title of Caesar!

I used to watch my father play this game when I was a little kid. He didnt(still doesnt) even know English and yet he learned how to play this game and he did it successfully too. I just saw this game on Steam and bought both myself and my father a copy. My old man was really excited to hear the news. He still remembers almost every bit about it and it has been around 15 years since the last time he played it. This is simply amazing. I really hope somehow someday people realize the value in this game and revive it in a way that honors and improves the original. Thank you people for bringing this old gem to Steam. Edit - 2024- : My dad passed away on 17th October. I still can't proccess it and it feels like whenever I go to sleep, I will wake up from the current nightmare that I am in. Thank you all.
Loved this game when I was younger. It was so much fun starting it up again. I fixed two issues: -for the sound looping, get IndirectSound (http://indirectsound.com) -for widescreen support, check out http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=14149&p=144499#p144499 and download the executable for 1920x1080 and replace the C3.exe in Steam with the one you just downloaded. Since it is an old game, this can't do much beyond zooming out the map and making the buttons smaller. But I think it's better than the default resolutions. I found both solutions through Reddit. Hope that helps others.
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! GOOD NEWS! TECH PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED! Do not give up! :) If you are struggling with crashes / resolution problems / "I can't even start the game" : Fear no more! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links, but it's easy to find... Search for : "Julius and Augustus Mod for Ceasar 3" (EDIT: LINKS AT BOTTOM) and "Caesar III - HD+ support" mod. NOW: The former is likely better (much better) than the latter, as a solution. The JULIUS project - is more than a mod. Volunteers (bless them!) created a new engine for C3, and then used the old graphics for it. It's kinda like taking an old game's brain and transplanting it into a 20 year old athletes body. So far for me: It is running great. It's not a ROM or something that stands alone. It requires C3 to be installed on your machine. (So don't refund.) (This steam versionI verified, works on Win 7.)
This is a game you just never seem forget it, I am 78 and do lots of different games. "It has good wars.
A true classic city-building game and one of the best ever. My father used to play this game 20 years ago and I used to sit by his side and watch him play. I haven't seen him play games for years now, until he's seen me play it on steam a few months ago. He started playing again and he can't stop playing. That's how good it is. At least I managed to finish the game before he went full Caesar :D Can't wait for Pharaoh to come on Steam as well.
It's just like you remember it! :') God, this game will always have as special place in my heart. I played and watched my dad play this a ton in the late 90s, early 2000s. Birthed my love of city builder sims, ancient Rome, and history in general. <3
