Julius is a fully working open-source version of Caesar 3, with the same logicas the original, but with some UI enhancements, that can be played on multiple platforms.

Julius will not run without the original Caesar 3 files. You can buy a digital copy fromGOG orSteam, or you can use an original CD-ROM version.

The goal of the project is to have exactly the same game logic as Caesar 3, with the same lookand feel. This means that the saved games are 100% compatible with Caesar 3, and any gameplay bugspresent in the original Caesar 3 game will also be present in Julius.

Enhancements for Julius include:

• Support for widescreen resolutions
• Windowed mode support for 32-bit desktops
• A lot of small in-gamequality of life improvements
• Support for thehigh-quality MP3 files once provided on the Sierra website

Supported platforms:

• Windows
• Linux AppImage
• MacOS
• PS Vita
• Nintendo Switch
• Android
• Any compatible browser (Emscripten)

While Julius does not implement any gameplay changes, a fork of Julius namedAugustus 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.

Note: 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.

First, download the game for your platform from the list above. Alternatively, you canbuild Julius yourself.

Then you can either copy the game to the Caesar 3 folder, or run the game from an independentfolder, in which case the game will ask you to point to the Caesar 3 folder.

Note that you must have permission to write in the game data directory as the saves will bestored there. Also, your game must be patched to 1.0.1.0 to use Julius. If Julius tells you thatyou are missing it, you candownload the update here.

SeeRunning Julius for further instructions and startup options.

Julius recreates many bugs that you can find in original Caesar 3 game, to preserve 100% saves compatibility. See the list ofBugs & idiosyncrasies to find out more.
