Julius is an open-source re-implementation of the classic city-building game Caesar III, written in C, with identical game logic and 100% save-game compatibility with the original. It adds quality-of-life enhancements such as widescreen support and windowed mode, and requires the original Caesar 3 game files to run.
Use cases
- play Caesar 3 on modern widescreen displays
- run Caesar 3 on Linux, macOS, Android, or in a browser
- play Caesar 3 in windowed mode on a 32-bit desktop
- keep using original Caesar 3 save games with an open-source engine
- play Caesar 3 on a Nintendo Switch or PS Vita
- use MP3 music files with Caesar 3
When to choose
- you own Caesar 3 and want a faithful, vanilla experience with modern resolutions and platform support
- you want to play Caesar 3 on a platform the original doesn't support, like Android or Switch
- you need save-game compatibility with the original Caesar 3
When to avoid
- you want gameplay changes like roadblocks - use the Augustus fork instead
- you don't own the original Caesar 3 game files, since Julius cannot run without them
- you're looking for a modern city-builder rather than a re-implementation of a 1998 game
