[TABLE="class: cms_table_grid, width: 98%"][TBODY][TR][TD="bgcolor: lightgrey"]Julius is a fully working open-source version of Caesar 3, with the same logic as the original, but with some UI enhancements, that can be played on multiple platforms.
Julius will not run without the original Caesar 3 files. You can buy a digital copy from GOG or Steam, or you can use an original CD-ROM version.
The goal of the project is to have exactly the same game logic as Caesar 3, with the same look and feel. This means that the saved games are 100% compatible with Caesar 3, and any gameplay bugs present in the original Caesar 3 game will also be present in Julius.
Enhancements for Julius include:
- Support for widescreen resolutions
- Windowed mode support for 32-bit desktops
- A lot of small in-game quality of life improvements
- Support for the high-quality MP3 files once provided on the Sierra website
While Julius does not implement any gameplay changes, a fork of Julius named Augustus is implementing many long-wanted gameplay changes, such as roadblocks. Beware: Augustus does not support the original Caesar 3 save files, while Julius does. So use Julius for a more vanilla experience with some visual improvements, or Augustus for a different gameplay experience.[/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]

[TABLE="class: cms_table_grid, width: 98%"][TBODY][TR][TD="bgcolor: lightgrey"]First, download the game for your platform from the list above. Alternatively, you can build Julius yourself.
Then you can either copy the game to the Caesar 3 folder, or run the game from an independent folder, in which case the game will ask you to point to the Caesar 3 folder.
Note that you must have permission to write in the game data directory as the saves will be stored there.
See Running for further instructions and startup options.[/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]

[TABLE="class: cms_table_grid, width: 98%"][TBODY][TR][TD="bgcolor: lightgrey"]Julius recreates many bugs that you can find in original Caesar 3 game, to preserve 100% saves compatibility. See the list of Bugs & idiosyncrasies to find out more.[/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]

- Touchpad mode (default)
- Single finger drag = move the mouse pointer (indirectly like on a touchpad)
- Single short tap = left mouse click
- Single short tap while holding a second finger down = right mouse click
- Dual finger drag = drag'n'drop (left mouse button is held down)
- Three finger drag = drag'n'drop (right mouse button is held down)
- Direct mode
- Pointer jumps to finger, nothing else
- Julius mode
- Pointer jumps to finger
- Single short tap = left mouse click
- Single short tap while holding a second finger down = right mouse click
- Dual finger drag = scroll
- Dragging is context sensitive
For multi-touch gestures, the fingers have to be far enough apart from each other, so that the Vita will not erroneously recognize them as a single finger. Otherwise the pointer will jump around.
Physical Bluetooth mice and keyboards are supported. This was tested with the "Jelly Comb Mini Bluetooth Keyboard With Mouse Touchpad," and with the "Jelly Comb Bluetooth Wireless Mouse." The Vita doesn't pair with all Bluetooth devices.[/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]
- Touchpad mode (default)
INSTALLATION:
- Install the vpk on your homebrew enabled PS VITA or PS TV.
