I heard about Pharaoh and Zeus in 2007, too late to start them because I was already familiarized with Caesar 3. Despite of not playing game anymore for few years, in September 2021 I replaced 1024×768 screenshots with 3840×2160 screenshots and added download links.Ĭhapters: career missions – city construction kit – biggest cities built by me – optimal cities built by me – housing types – strategy tips & tricksĬaesar III table made by me in Excel, containing house evolution, empire locations, best city layout plans and more. In 2012 the business forced me to stop gaming, but I kept expanding page adding info about game itself.
Been playing the Demo version since 2000 and full game in 2005-2006, 2008, and again in 2011 when I published this page, originally strictly to show cities built by me. W10 is sadly just not the best OS for playing this genre, imho, given how a lot of the genre's best stuff is quite old now.Caesar III is one of my favorite games. This IS a genre that IMHO peaked early, with some great 2D titles from the late 90s-early 00s then some average, some good 3D titles in the mid-late 00s before just kind of stopping by the early 10s with only a few established series such as Anno still releasing regular installments.įortunately indie games like Banished are appearing and breathing some new life into the genre lately. Other similar games include Civcity: Rome, Glory of the Roman Empire, the Grand Ages series, and the Anno series is somewhat similar as well. The truth is that even the 3D titles Caesar IV and Children of the Nile are over a decade old now, and while they're both good in their own right the earlier 2D games were IMHO better anyway. It is in my opinion the best of the 2D series of historical city builders by Impressions (Caesar III-Pharaoh-Zeus-Emperor) and perhaps the best historical city builder overall but sadly the only one not on steam. Probably the game most similar to Zeus is a very fine game known as Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom by the same devs with the same engine, released in 2002, a few years after Zeus.
