I played Ceasar 3 over 25 years ago (typing that made me feel quite old) - this version holds a lot of similarities, which was nice. There were obvious upgrades to the graphics and a few improved rules for upgrading city features that I welcomed. But the game held interest as it became more progressively challenging. Like other builder games, this is one that I can come back to periodically, but need to bring a lot of time and patience as I move further along the campaign :)

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.

(6/10) I had this game when I was still a child and I was very glad to find it on Steam. It is still a very fun game to play after all these years.
