Our take on Caesar™ 3
The design trades a single specialized focus for several governor responsibilities, including construction, commerce, imperial approval, and defense. Players gain different ways to approach the role, but each area shares space with the others rather than defining the entire experience.
What is Caesar™ 3?
Serve as a Roman provincial governor responsible for building cities, developing trade and industry, and making money.
The governor’s career can focus on gaining wealth and power, pleasing the emperor, battling barbarians and repelling invaders, or constructing the next Eternal City. Citizens offer clues about improving the city when spoken to. New structures and challenges arise throughout the governor’s career. Building and defense take place on one screen, while failure can result in being fed to lions.
