Behold, Caesar 3!!
The concept of Caesar 3 is simple...Build a better Rome. Basically you start with a giant open piece of land, complete with hills, trees, and bodies of water. Then you must "build" houses to lure citizens to your town. To keep everyone happy you must provide food and water, construct temples, create jobs, offer security and medical protection, put on festivals, build schools, grow crops, ward off invading militaries, and keep the Gods (and Caesar) happy. If your citizens are unhappy with your work they will either die or move away. I've never played the Sims, but I imagine it is kind of like that, except more important since you are BUILDING A CITY. I used to build ridiculously awesome cities with populations of like 50,000...
My Uncle Ted gave me the game for Christmas a LONG time ago and I must admit that I STILL love playing it. Not so much recently, but definitely within the last year (I promise you I'm 25...really...ahem). In fact, I love the game so much that my little brother got me Caesar4 for Christmas 2008 (I was a bit overwhelmed by the graphic improvements in Caesar 4...I like to keep it old school).
You should really go order Caesar 3 on ebay or something because once you start playing you.will.not.stop.
Here are some screen shots of the game to prove its awesomeness.
This person is CLEARLY an amateur Caesar 3 player. Notice the little huts mixed in with all the larger dwellings. Obviously those citizens do not have access to something important like water or a market. Good effort with the addition of a Roman Bath though...
Much better. This person is obviously an expert. Notice the thriving wine industry and addition of a Gladiator stadium. They've got a few places that need improvement, but overall nice effort.
Oops, this person tried to build a fortress to protect against invading militaries and FAILED. The structure burnt down or was pillaged. Notice the citizens fleeing on the bottom on the screen. Tsk tsk tsk..
This is how it all starts. You build some roads, plop down a few tents and watch people flock in. From here, the addiction starts to grow.
So, now that I've successfully added myself to the list of total dorks, I am off to build another empire.
Hail to me!!!
