Caesar III ► #2 Brundisium & The 9x9! - [HD Campaign Gameplay]
Рет қаралды 70,878
Күн бұрынWelcome back to Caesar III! It's been 5 years since my initial playthrough and now we're going through the campaign in HD, on Very Hard, no cuts or edits, and with no repeating block designs! Want to buy Caesar 3 (or other games) AND support this channel? Use this GOG referral link! af.gog.com/gam... ATTENTION! Many of you are upset over lowering the difficulty to get around the immigration barrier/bug/issue. I am not going to redo this mission because it is an unintended bug and people should know lowering the difficulty can get around it, BUT I will only do that on this mission. There are other in-game workarounds that are a bit silly but work, so I will be using those in all future missions. If you think it isn't a bug and intended game design, you have to explain why it's a behaviour not consistent with the rest of the game and why the bug exists in the demo for Pharaoh (the sequel) but not in the final release of Pharaoh. That's indicative that they discovered the bug and fixed it for Pharaoh before release but never came back to Caesar 3 to patch it here.
This is Second Assignment, Mission 2 - Brundisium : Feeding the Populace!
Differences from the first Caesar 3 playthrough:
- Max Difficulty (Very Hard)
- Facecam
- 1080p Widescreen

Mission 2! We encounter the population issue when it's over 200 here, we figure it out over the next couple episodes and fully understand it by mission 4/5. ATTENTION! Many of you are upset over lowering the difficulty to get around the immigration barrier/bug/issue. I am not going to redo this mission because it is an unintended bug and people should know lowering the difficulty can get around it, BUT I will only do that on this mission.

I get past the problem in mission 3, lower difficulty again in mission 4, and will do a full explanation in mission 5 plus I will be making a standalone video explaining the problem that I will link in all these early vids. There's the just build housing far away from the spawn point solution, but on small maps you have to make a maze to increase the distance. Mission 5 demonstrates this perfectly because the map is so small and crowded. The whole thing is totally unintended and should be defined as a bug, but some people seem to defend it as 'part of the game'. For me, I don't think it's on purpose at all.
@GamerZakh 7 жыл бұрын
I would give the developers credit for making this intentionally mean if it wasn't for the countless bugs and unintended consequences in all their games throughout. The dancer glitches in Pharaoh, the housing glitch that happened in my Mediolanum playthrough in the original series, the entertainment imbalances in early levels caused by the Cleopatra expansion, the distance calculation glitches I've seen in C3 from some user submitted cities. There are so many bugs, glitches, and unintended things I can't give them the benefit of the doubt that this was intentional. And if it was intentional, it's just really bad game design, so there's no way around it for me. This isn't like the 'meanness' in Dark Souls, it's just nonsensical and not fun or challenging because once you figure it out it's just a minor chore to work around each time. Being invaded from an unexpected location once in a while or the earthquake, that's good meanness. But also, it's basically impossible to figure it out unless you look it up online. It doesn't scale with difficulty, it's just there on very hard and not in any form on other difficulties. Also, saying some mechanics need to be refined, the developers agreed with that sentiment, which is why they added roadblocks and resource limit controls to all their future games. That being said, I feel like have to clarify that I still really really love Caesar III and all the other games haha!

Question... Why don't you use the line street design? The street starts near the granary and warehouses, have 4 blocks of 2x2 houses on each side of the road and end up with a market, some temples, school, theater, etc. At the end of the street you can add some production like clay and pottery, mining, etc. Having 1 line only will guide the vendors and people will always find jobs and stuff and you never need roadblocks. There is nowhere to get confused... On this mission all you need are 2 streets and you are done. PS: I never had that issue with people abandoning the city at 200-250...
@GamerZakh 7 жыл бұрын
I will use the line street design, there are 20 missions and I'll do all sorts of designs. This mission is easy, so I just got the 9x9 out of the way, works just as well and I can demonstrate some tricks with getting and worker access early on. The immigration bug only happens on Very Hard, are you playing on that?
@GamerZakh 7 жыл бұрын
Ah, we have different definitions of bugs is all. What you're saying is a bug is what I would call a 'game breaking bug'. Game breaking bugs mean there's no way around it, but if there's a workaround then it's just a bug. For example, in Mediolanum (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMWTa7V0l86WnYE.html) at 12:24 you can see the housing glitched out and can't be deleted. It's not a game breaking bug, I can still continue playing and win the mission no problem, but it's definitely a bug and unintended by the developers. And I totally know how to get past the immigration barrier without lowering the difficulty now. I'd just make a maze of wells, problem solved, so I will be able to play through all other missions without lowering the difficulty. Also, in terms of game versions, I only play GOG version now, which is the full and updated version. I always check sites to make sure my game version is the last one released too.

I think the later ones are better, mainly due to the addition of roadblocks, which allow you to direct those braindead servicepeople better. Yes, the Pharaoh, Cleopatra, Zeus, & Emperor titles are mostly reskins of C3, but with minor additions each time. IMO, no other improvement can compete with roadblocks. BTW, just about ALL economy-heavy genres stagnated around 2000. These days, there's no better traffic game than Transport Tycoon's free software spin-off "Open TTD", no better modern city builder than SimCity 4, and even the ongoing ANNO series only improves graphics-wise. The major players (no pun intended) are 100% content on pandering to the gullible who will pay full price for "sports association followed by year" titles and MMO expansions.

You can avoid the bug problem. You must build in the start two housing block very very big (to 500 hundred people). Then create a long road to let people arriving in their homes. The road in these small map had to across all the maps but helping out with the acqueduct and the trees you can avoid the bug without change difficult. You will see that when you hit two hundred people, because ypu have soo many houses free, will enter in the city a lot of workers that will go over the 300 target. I try it and is a new way on restaling the game itself.. Try hit if you can.. In other cities however, this bug do not enter (think to carthago)

This has to be my favorite game of all time. Played it a lot when I was a kid and came back to it from time to time. But a couple of days ago, I found out I can put Caesar III on my phone so I'm playing it again. However, I've always played it on my own and no checking tips or whatever, just figuring out everything by myself but I figured I might as well finally check how other people play this game after all this time and your playthrough is the first I came across with.
@samkaeppel1160 2 жыл бұрын
The population glitch has been debated and argued for so long. The happiness of your city is out of your control until 300 population. The base happiness under 300 is difficulty based and is 50 at very hard. When you hit 200 population it drops by 10 at all difficulties and on very hard that would be 40 causing a never ending cycle of unhappiness. It's just an intended mechanic that wasn't tested at harder difficulties.
@GamerZakh 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah modders have since looked into the code and found it's a miscalculation. It being literally impossible to have immigrants between 200-300 pop is clearly a glitch. Even with perfect happiness and a Venus blessing, you can't have immigrants. I've also since asked a Pharaoh lead dev who said it was a bug. Also, the population glitch existed in the Pharaoh demo but not in Pharaoh release, so they straight up fixed it before releasing Pharaoh and only realised it was an issue halfway into Pharaoh's development.

Or maybe it was in the printed manual, which was pretty much an entire book, and many users went TL;DR on that - or maybe few people bought the game at full price.

Warning: its been a while since I played. (maybe 5 years) But I never had the issue of population like you are talking about on this level with the highest difficulty. I would always put down maybe 3-4 times the amount of housing plots he has down and 6+ wheat farms initially. I just focused on getting the food rolling in excess and I never had this problem... Also I only ever do housing in 2x6 plots with gardens and fountains EVEN in level two... my mom said(like 7-10 years ago) that it works because when there is an excess of food and gardens everywhere the people wont get so "disgruntled" about the tax/wages situation because they feel fancy and special.

The immigration glitch between 200-300 population is something that happens consistently throughout the game on any map at Very Hard difficulty.

Hey GamerZakh! Greetings from Italy! I wanted to ask you something about a glitch that happens frequently in Caesar 3. The music, the speech and also the noises often go on a strange loop when I get a cinematic message, something like: *Cinematic message appears* *close* *Music goes: Tuuuuuutuuu-Tuuuuuutuuuu-Tuuuuuu-tuuuu* over and over again. The only way to stop it is to save, quit the game and open it again. Is there any patch to this?

GamerZakh, My love, is there any reason why your twitch vods are sub only. I mean can they not be monetized the same way your stream or you tube videos are monetized trough advertisements? i'm saying that not only with my goal, watching your videos in mind, but also with your businesses prospect. For people like me, students with thousands of dollars in debt and minimal income, subscribing to your twitch is currently not an option. You making your main content Sub only would only repel people like me from your channel, while we could become a part of the community and maybe eventually support your content trough subscription.
@GamerZakh 7 жыл бұрын
Ah that's because it's the only real incentive to sub on Twitch. Because of the KZfaq adpocalypse, I lost 33% of my ad revenue, and I currently operate on breaking even. So losing that was a huge risk and I started streaming on Twitch to not have all my eggs in one basket and the revenue from subs could make up for the lost ad revenue. Many people have Amazon Prime and the majority of my subs are through that, so most aren't actually paying any extra money but they still can support. The Twitch vods now act as 'early access' for the videos however streams are limited to 6000kbps and I can't run any audio mastering on things live. The KZfaq uploads are slower, but I record at 30,000kbps and master the audio, so KZfaq is where 'definitive edition' ends up. I totally understand that paying for Twitch subs is not always viable for many, myself included as I only sub to 1 channel, but every successful stream ends up on KZfaq in higher quality. From an earnings standpoint, Twitch has been growing and I'm almost at my first goal after 4 months, and having the archive as sub only is kind of the main reason why people have been subbing. But to reiterate, all of it ends up on KZfaq for free and in higher quality, so no one is missing out on content by not subbing. I hope that clarifies things? I always like being as transparent as possible though, so fire away with any questions and I'll answer honestly everything I'm allowed to answer.

Zakh i dont want to sound dickish, but doesnt having to revert to hard kinda moots the point of playing in very hard? I got around in my (failed) campaign in very hard by making a lot of houses, setting up 2 9x9 blocks at the same time by the end of the year (so the population is boosted even more by the births in january), and managed to get just over 300 (whcih is what solves the bug) pop most of the time

You're correct, however the immigration issue is a straight up glitch that's almost game breaking for the uninitiated. This is something I was unaware of and will be able to work around it in future, however on some cramped small maps you have to make a giant maze with wells and overall it seems like it's really silly. On this tutorial mission 2, I didn't know about the glitch and had to do something. No one in chat explained what I could do about it properly. Also when testing, getting over 300 doesn't seem to do it for me. I have to reach 450, and that takes a lot more than getting to 300 because only so many immigrants spawn every second. It's also silly how this is a non-issue on almost any map past mission 6-7 as the maps are big enough to just build far away enough. I start all the maps on very hard and continue on very hard after fixing the glitch, and difficulty in C3 is mainly about starting funds I think. However, you'll be happy to know I brute forced through the glitch in Mission 3 however I had to lower the difficulty for a minute in Mission 4 as I didn't know about the maze technique. I'm contemplating redoing mission 4.
@IgorWelkenbach 7 жыл бұрын
GamerZakh Roger. I sadly couldnt attend the livestream due to time zones. You sure 300 (its important that It goes above It actually, 301 or more) doesnt at least stabilize the situation? In my experience If i get say 312 pop, a few people Will emigrate and ill remain with say 306 people, and at that point they wont emigrate anymore. After that the issue Will for away in a about two months (It isnt an immediate thing, city sentiment Will slowly increase), after which youll get immigration again
@GamerZakh 7 жыл бұрын
Hmm maybe it's not 450, I'll give it a few more tests and see if staying at 301-320 gets the happiness back to normal. Though yeah, I'm gonna leave this mission as is because it's a tutorial mission and I think it's important for people to learn that it's about a difficulty calculation issue. I'll redo mission 4 though, so no other mission I do will have a difficulty drop.

I think that is a bug on all very hard missions. Once you pass 300, you are ok. The way to pass this bug without dropping the difficulty is to build the housing far away from the citizen entry point.
@GamerZakh 7 жыл бұрын
Yeah it's definitely unintended. When the game was made there were no difficulty settings and by default it was 'hard'. The 'very hard' setting messed up a couple things but I know how to deal with it now (by mission 5).
@viktorraichev1306 7 жыл бұрын
Yes but this is not "dealing with it", lowering difficulty in mid game, more like cheating the settings you have personally set on the start of the campaign. Your goals. (Look above what I wrote, in depth the long comments. Still love your gaming ! ) "Differences from the first Caesar 3 playthrough: - Max Difficulty - Facecam - 1080p Widescreen - No Cuts or Edits - No Repeating Block Designs - Better Production Value"
@GamerZakh 7 жыл бұрын
Yeah but is it cheating when you're getting around an unintended, almost game breaking bug? I also immediately reset difficulty to very hard as soon as I cross the bug here, I didn't lower the difficulty and leave it there. I didn't realise this was such a game breaking bug and have never encountered it before as my first playthrough was on Hard difficulty and when I played the game when it released back in 1998 to 2001 (the years I played C3 mainly), there were no difficulty settings and it was by default Hard. I didn't know there was a patch that introduced difficulty settings back then. I will be using in-game workarounds in future missions though, so is it really a better experience watching me make a tower defence-like maze out of wells then deleting them all? It's equally awkward I'd say but people who don't want me to change the difficulty settings will be okay with it. If this bug existed in any other city-builder, people would hate on the game so much demanding that the devs fix it, otherwise calling the game 'broken'.

@omegapsi847 7 жыл бұрын
I wouldnt mind if you just put the difficulty on hard until you pass 500 people or so and switch it back to very hard. this is honestly an annoying thing to deal with and has nothing to do with skill. if there was a clear solution path to this, either intended by the developers or unintended exploit or s.th., it would be ok, but not this crap with "bad mood" and "people like you" at the same time. on later missions this will really slow you down at the start and you ll get in trouble to build up your army in time on military missions.
@GamerZakh 7 жыл бұрын
Well there is one solution: build a maze of wells to make the path from the spawn point to the housing longer. I'll be doing that on some upcoming missions for small maps. It looks really silly but it's a workaround without lowering difficulty. On huge maps it will be a non-issue.
@FlizzyDuck 7 жыл бұрын
Nice mission and well done anyway, but reducing the difficulty? Seriously? I mean I actually like how people are acting like really big, that they can play games on the hardest possible difficulty with no problems whatsoever and then dropping difficulty and arguing with poor excuses just because they faced a single slightly problem, calling it instantly a bug without even trying to search for a proper solution and pretty much give up. Really dislike this one here! Oh and in case someone took more than the first six words serious, then you Sir might have a problem :)
