julius

Julius is an open-source re-implementation of Caesar III, a classic city-building game. It aims to replicate the original game's logic and feel exactly, ensuring 100% save game compatibility with the original Caesar 3. The project enhances the experience with widescreen resolution support, windowed mode for 32-bit desktops, and numerous quality-of-life improvements. It supports multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, macOS, PS Vita, Nintendo Switch, Android, and browsers via Emscripten. Julius requires the original Caesar 3 game files, which can be purchased from GOG or Steam, or used from an original CD-ROM. The project intentionally recreates original bugs to maintain save compatibility. A fork named Augustus offers gameplay changes for those seeking a different experience. The README provides instructions for running the game, building from source, and notes about required patches and permissions.
