julius-1.7.0p0 – open source re-implementation of Caesar III game engine (cvsweb github mirror)

Description

julius is an open source re-implementation of the Caesar III game
engine.

In Caesar III, players take on the role of a Roman governor, tasked with
building up a grand Roman city, in which they must ensure their citizens
have their needs met, that their city is safe and profitable, while
meeting various goals set for them and dealing with various disasters,
angry gods and hostile enemies.

While this package and the game engine are open source, one still needs
to provide the original game assets from Caesar III, which is not open
source. You will need to purchase the original game to use this package.

julius
======
julius requires the original game files from Caesar III to work
properly.  These can come from an original CD or from GOG.com.

If using the GOG.com version, you must extract the files from
setup_caesar3_2.0.0.9.exe using the innoextract package. The files will
will be in a directory named app. You must keep this directory, though
it can be renamed and moved to a location of your choosing, and you can
delete everything else that is extracted from the exe, such as the tmp
directory.

The game can by run in two ways. First, it can be run from the app
directory itself, such as the following:
$ innoextract setup_caesar3_2.0.0.9.exe
$ cd app
$ julius

Or, it can be run as:
$ julius /path/to/app/

Note that in either case, save files will be saved to the app directory
so you must have write access to it.
