Augustus an open source interpretation of Caesar III, a city building game for the PC released in the late 90s by Sierra.

It is a fork of the Julius project that intends to incorporate gameplay changes. The aim is to provide enhanced, customizable gameplay to Caesar 3 using project Julius UI enhancements.

Augustus is able to load Caesar 3 and Julius saves, however saves made with Augustus will not work outside Augustus.

Gameplay enhancements include:

• Roadblocks.
• Market special orders.
• Global labour pool.
• Partial warehouse storage.
• Increased game limits.
• Zoom controls.
• And more.

Because of gameplay changes and additions, save files from Augustus are not compatible with Caesar 3 or Julius. Augustus is able to load Caesar 3 save files, but not the other way around. If you want vanilla experience with visual and UI improvements, or want to use save files in base Caesar 3, check Julius.

Augustus, like Julius, requires the original assets (graphics, sounds, etc) from Caesar 3 to run. Augustus optionally supports the high-quality MP3 files once provided on the Sierra website.

Installation

Julius/Augustus requires the original Caesar 3 files to run. This can be an old CD-ROM version (use the "Full installation" option), or a digital copy from either GOG or Steam.

Note that your game must be patched to 1.0.1.0 to use Augustus. Most digital versions of the game (like GOG.com for example), already are patched to 1.0.1.0. But if your version isn't, you can download the update here.

To run Augustus on Nintendo Switch, follow these steps:

• Ensure you have a jailbroken Switch. Detailed jailbreaking instructions can be found on Nintendo Homebrew's Guide or, alternatively, on AtlasNX's Guide.
• Download either the latest release.
• Place the .nro file to the switch folder on your SD card, so that you have a folder /switch/augustus with augustus.nro inside.
• Copy all the files from a Caesar 3 install into the /switch/augustus/ folder, so that you have the file /switch/augustus/c3.eng and more.

User guide

Manual

Augustus changes are explained in detail in the manual.

Touch support

Touch modes can be toggled with the minus button. There are three modes:

• 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.
• Direct mode:
  • Pointer jumps to finger, nothing else.
• Julius mode

For multi-touch gestures, the fingers have to be far enough apart from each other, so that the Switch will not erroneously recognize them as a single finger. Otherwise the pointer will jump around.

Controls

Left Stick - Move the mouse pointer

Right Stick or D-Pad - Scroll the map

R/A - Left mouse button

L/B - Right mouse button

ZR - Hold to slow down analog stick mouse pointer

ZL - Hold to speed up analog stick mouse pointer

X - Simulate Page Up keypress (speed up in-game time)

Y - Simulate Page Down keypress (slow down in-game time)

Plus - Bring up on-screen keyboard, useful to enter player name etc.

Minus - Toggle between touch modes

Physical USB mice and keyboards are supported. All keyboards seem to work. Not all mice work. A mouse compatibility list is available here.
