+GamerZakh @ 18:55 , why didn't you use the Granary AS a road? It would limit the intersection and take up less space.

58:37 Can we take a moment to appreciate this auxiliary force and their formation performance there? BTW, the more one plays C3, the more you get the feeling that Impressions coded the thing, but never played it. It looks really polished on the outside, but there are some issues which really start to bug the user after some time. Agreed, I'd say there are easily 90% of games with worse issues - and Impressions fixed the most annoying stuff in later titles - but there are some things which really stand out. Tutorial: "Try to avoid intersections" Caesar3: "Look at this very vital building. It comes with a free intersection." There's also a building that blocks aimless walkers (aimlessness in itself is 100% excusable, an A.I. for every walker would have been too hard on 1998's hardware), BUT it's not only rather big and expensive, it takes away workers and desirability. Caesar3: "It's perfectly fine to build here" Also Caesar3: "Oops, that blocked access to Rome, we must level this building" A quick blocking check wouldn't have slowed the game down, not even on the average PC in 1998. Even worse, instead of undoing the newest building ( _which even a feature of the GUI ffs_ ) the game starts randomly deleting stuff until the road to Rome is free again. Idiot programming at its finest. That last one sounds like some badly rushed job at Impressions. "Fix that issue, and hurry up. We'll upload the master copy to Media Production on Friday 3 pm." "Wait what, it's Friday _today_ !" "Yes, and it's 5 to 3, that's why I told you to hurry up!"

@@agentM1991 Glad I could help! It's definitely a challenging map.

@@GamerZakh I only got to Caesar III from watching you play though. I decided to try it out myself. I only found your channel as I played Pharaoh. Pharaoh is my childhood game.

Huh? I seem to recall that you can set them to "Waren anfordern" in the German version.

What? you dont play this game in Latin? Plebs....

I remember the "click and drag" trick for reservoirs. It was somewhere in the game, either in the printed manual (which was the size of a book), or in one of the tutorial messages in mission 2 about water supply. I THINK it was English, too, so it might have been in the C3 demo (and without demos, I would have missed SO many great games: M.A.X., C3, MF:CS, Diablo). I wasn't even that big into city management, but C3 got me hooked.

Hey glad you're enjoying it! That's what I'm all about, showing that these nostalgic games still hold up to today's standards.

Hey glad I could help and congratulations!

That's a good idea. I've been using fountains as decoration recently too, so that might be what I do from now on.

Thank you!

I do know about that but it's an exploit since it's not intended by the developers for it to happen, so I don't use it, especially since I'm doing extra hard challenges.

Ah they don't need road on one setting. If one warehouse is set to 'getting' and another is set to 'accepting', the cart pusher from the 'getting' one can go off road to the 'accepting' one.

I think this map is one that most people got stuck at back in the day. This and Carthago are designed to really test your knowledge of the game. They're really hard to beat unless you actually understand how the game works.

Since that's a glitch, surround that wolf with aquaducts so it'll be trapped. That should keep the wolf from killing people.

Thank you!

No, the Academy only counts as one Educational Facility as far as I'm aware. Plus it takes up more space than the library.

Considering Neptune, he can be as angry as he wants. Only effect would be that people don't like it when gods are unhappy. Mars can send you local uprisings which can be annoying. And devastating.

Mars when very angry, encourages natives to rebel

I wanted to provide temple access and temples actually add to culture rating, so might as well get those going once in a while.

The more you put the more it can bring, so better to have too many than too few.

@@GamerZakh Aah ok! Thank you ;)

Part 2 will be up tomorrow, just rendering it today. It takes 11 hours to render it and half a day to upload haha.

Yes that would work and look quite nice I think.

Tents and Casas don't give much money. Exports are the main income source.

If you have a lot of them they do actually drop prosperity a lot, but in this playthrough I'm always going for max level housing, so when I get villas it doesn't matter so much.

Yeah, sticking to 9x9s is hard and many people don't know about moving food around with getting techniques. Plus, it feels wrong for new players to build right on the farmland too. Break some 'rules' and it becomes much easier haha.

They don't really do much and they cost a lot of resources and take up space.

@@GamerZakh from what i understand, A large temple has twice the effect on gods as a small temple. So a city of 6000 people could get 100% of the religious coverage it needs from having 8 small temples to each god or from 4 large temples to each god. sounds like a great use of space to me.

Yeah that's usually the best thing to do. It's just on this playthrough I'm doing all extra challenges and figures not capturing the wolves is an extra challenge. They become a serious problem in later missions.

nice, didnt know that... btw, great content man, keep it up, i got hit by nostalgia these days, and started playing ceasar through again and with your tips, makes the experience all new and exciting, keep up the great work

btw im AckeeBogi this is my work profile lol :D

Aqueduct prison? You monster! Handle them properly, train an army and throw pointy sticks at them until they look like pincushions.

1000 people isn't that big a population. I've evolved that one block to small casa level, that will already get you to about 1000 population, not to mention all the tents I have around.

Ah okay - i got the Problem - that i got 5300 Population on this Map but i cant win... I missed 300 Worker and my prosperity didnt reach the 50 mark - just 46... thats dam shit - now i look how you did it... i got allways the Problem - that i missed so may Workers in "Lategame"

That's because people get old and stop working. Your population stays high but people aren't actually able to work. To solve prosperity on this map, just get 4-6 villas. For getting a younger population, delete doctors until your city's health rating is below average.

GamerZakh thank you - i will try it. I love your voice. You explain sooo nice! Good Night Sir.

If it says that, that means the path to the entry and exit points got blocked and immigrants can't find a way in or out. It's not a bug, a house could've evolved into a 2x2 and blocked the path, or you put something down that caused it.

@@GamerZakh I understand. So even if there's no road connecting the bridges, there needs to be a clear way to them, correct?

@@atanaspopovski7236 That's right, a road isn't needed, just open space.

@@GamerZakh Thank you, chief

Ah you're in luck, I just finished reuploading it and it will be live within the next 30 minutes.

Ah yes, I encountered this bug on the final mission I played in this series. I don't know what causes it to happen but the only think I can think of is to rebuild all the warehouses in a different location. They are not supposed to be able to 'get' from a 'getting' warehouse, but this bug means they do so they get stuck like that.

@@GamerZakh I also noticed one interesting feature. If you delete, for example, a large insulae (population 84 people) and build it again, then at first a small number of people will occupy it and there will be free rooms. The entire population will recover in a few years to a maximum of 84 people. Do you know how to populate the maximum number of people (84) faster?

In northern areas with dark green grass there's no risk of fire.

@@GamerZakh Oh! This mission is super hard. I could never beat it.

@@newygreek Yeah it's probably the hardest mission in the game actually because you need to understand a lot of unexplained things to use the terrain properly. After years of experimenting, I actually made an easy guide for this mission specifically: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsuWlLyWzbmynI0.html

Huh what do you mean? You can't get meat without a pig farm, so if I have meat I have a pig farm.

He placed a pig farm in the top left corner of the map.

Just for fun really. I like showing off different techniques and shifting food without road connections can be useful. For a practical reason, doing this can allow you to have a far away area only be supplied with 1 type of food while the rest of your city could be on 2 types.

Thanks for telling. I did like this idea. I once had(in another map) a warehouse import vegetables and a granary with getting vegetables. But the warehouse still has plenty vegetables and the granary was empty. Can you tell me where the fault may have been? They were both close too.

It's hard to say without seeing it. Maybe the settings were wrong or vegetables was set to 'stockpile'? Was the road connection between the warehouse and granary properly connected?

Yes. They were only transferring few vegetables. In this map you showed they send off everything above four. I am still having a little trouble understanding the warehouse-granary system in the map.

That doesn't seem to be right. What version of the game are you playing? CD, GOG, or Steam?

I got an easy guide to win this mission if you're interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsuWlLyWzbmynI0.html

Yeah, between 200-300 population on Very Hard difficulty, no matter what your people are upset and will move out. If you don't manage it you will never get passed 200-300 population.

Played the game back in 98, played Pharaoh and Emperor back when they were new too. Found Caesar Heaven and block designs back in 98. Then started playing it again in 2012 as an adult and been playing since, so it probably totals to about 10-12 years of Impressions city-building experience.

Haha you don't need it to kill wolves, you need it to kill 4 packs of wolves.
