No peons to take up water services? Look for your fountains to cut off and your populous to start looking for a better city. Run out of workers in the hospital? Better get ready for a plague that'll wipe out half your town. For every fountain you build, temple you open, or doctor you place, you'll need a staff to make it work. Unfortunately, this brings its own set of problems.
The obvious answer seems to build more housing units, or improve the housing units that you already have. Almost every city I built was horribly understaffed from the get go. If that all sounds like a lot of different workers, it is. Don't get comfortable, there's still the matter of making sure you have enough workers to take that food to your city's many markets, and then insuring that there are workers in those markets to sell the food to your population. Next you'll have to build a granary to store the food and make sure that it is equipped with enough workers to unload the food. In order to get it to them, you'll have to build farms (which come in grain, vegetable, and pig farm varieties) and make sure that they have enough workers to produce their crop.
Even on the earliest levels, you'll learn that feeding your people is much more of a chore than in the past. One of the biggest changes between Caesar II and the new title is the sheer number of difficulties you have to contend with. Doing this is never easy, and towards the later levels in the game, it can get to be down right difficult. As you progress, new challenges (as well as new buildings) will be added and you'll find your time taken up by such diverse problems as appeasing angry gods, sending Caesar gifts and tribute, and stopping citizen revolts. In the early levels of the game, all you will need to do is build a small city, provide it with the most basic of facilities, and keep it from burning down. Let's take a look at why.Īs with the first two games, Caesar III takes place in ancient Rome with you cast as a young citizen looking to rise up through the ranks. Although the first two games had their share of problems, it seems like Impressions finally managed to implement everything that they wanted to do in this third installment. As the supreme commander of a Roman city, the task set before you is to expand your city, keep your population happy, and protect it from any invaders who might be impressed with the work you're doing. You are unlikely to get a refund if the issue is simply a game engine bug.Impression Software's Caesar III is the latest installment of sequels that have basically spent the last few years refining and perfecting the same idea.
Nobody else has had issues on Windows 10, and most issues are solved by disabling UAC and using the widescreen hack. I believe I’ll just have to ask for a refund,īest, Some freezes are caused by trailing engine bugs (for example, you may get a freeze during naval invasions). I really love this game, as all of you do… I have different versions (original and pirate) and I have just acquitted the GOG version hoping they would have worked it out. I manage to run the game and even play it for a few minutes, but then it freezes so bad that I have to restart the computer, not even the task manager works… I have downloaded the widescreen patch, disabled UAC, run as administrator and used different compatibility modes (Windows XP packs 2 and 3 and Windows 7).
Sorry to come back with this old issue, but I have tried all the solutions I found in the forum to make Pharaoh run on Windows 10 and I am still having problems
