The game that got me into PC gaming. It was more intricate than my child brain could comprehend. Nearly 20 years later here is me completing it.

To execute the game without crashing on launch: 1) Navigate to the game's installation directory (steam library's "steamapps\common\Caesar 4" directory. Open the C4 sub-directory. Execute, as Administrator, the RegisterDLL.bat batch file. 2) Might be optional: * Open the Compatibility tab in the properties of CaesarIV.exe. Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" checkbox and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" (SP2 works too). Click OK. This should allow the game to be run without the initial crashes.
