Caesar 3!

[SunTzu]

Who all here has playeD Caesar3? I think it's one of the best games ever. It's a sim city type game but it's based upon the roman empire, U must govern your province and defeat enemies with your legions. It's great! I recommend it to all! Who else has played it?

Caesar III is a fun game. The Caesar sent legions to capture me all the time (maybe because I didn't pay him any tax?). At first, Those roman legions would destory my beautiful cities like a tornado!

I learned my lesson from those disasters and found out how to defeat them. Now they can't even get past my city walls!

. One of my favorite old board games was Ceasar, Alesia. Ceasar has 50,000 Romans and allies, he is besieging 80,000 Gauls with Vercigetorix inside a fortress on top of a mesa, there are 200,000 more Gauls in a ring around the Romans besiging them. Piece o' Cake

This was one of the earlier board games to use hidden movement, much easier to do today with commputor games. The outside Gauls were manuvered on a separate display until they attcked the Roman works. The Roman player would send out cavalry chohorts to find them. The cavlary would report no/light Gaul force in a sector, "engaged with medium force", or vannish without a trace

, indicate to Ceasar to reinforce that sector of the seige works.

My Cities are always marvelous

I protect them from anyone by build 4 rows of walls with a tower in every spot so i have 30+ Balista towers protecting my city. While my 2 Legions, 2 Javelons, and 1 Horsemen Legions are for backup. I have only 1 Legion of horsemen, so they can get to the battle quick to delay the enemy till my other legions arrive. I have successfully taken Hannibals Carthagian Army of 120 Men! Both Elephants and ground troops. Peice o Cake

Well, I have played it, and I didn't enjoy it that much. I couldn't figure out why my ppl weren't getting water, and yet I had aqueducts out to them. I still haven't found a SimCity like game that captured my attention like Civ2 has captured it (I know Civ2 isn't a Sim, I am just talking about loving a game...eew, sick!

).

I still love Alesia, but it took so long to play! Caesar 3 is very cool, with good graphics and sounds and some tough missions. I'd say it's a top noch game, but I still dig Civ-2 more.

This is werid because I was thinking of Ceaser III night before last and actually reinstalled the game to play it for awhile, I got to the 7 scenario, back when I was playing it alot. THe one directly after the Hannibal invasion, The game gets really hard from there.

Yeah i think one of the hardest levels is Lugdumnum. Tons of Earthquakes and mudslides cutting off your trade.
Again Lefty do you know where i can get Alesia? It sounds great!

Well, it must be close to the Armageddon. Lord, you know that I won’t fly by that lesson you taught me, to pull out my Wesson you brought me, and i’m not stressin’ it softly. Get ‘em up off me, ‘cause all we wanted harmony, been bombin’ ‘em. Yell up outta my ghetto, “I won’t settle,” get on my level.

You might have a tough time with this. It was a old-fashioned war game, with a mounted map and cardboard playing pieces. It was produced in the US by Avalon Hill, but they discontinued it long before they went belly-up, so I don't think the new AH (whoever holds the rights these days) will still have it. Your best chance is to check wargame sites (there are still a few), to look for someone willing to part with it. I still have it in my collection.

It is worth getting if your into Roman history.
