    It's Lugdunum! The mission I get asked about the most, this map will be split to 3 phases. Phase 1 is starting the city on the safe side of the river, Phase 2 is crossing the river and establishing the city, and phase 3 will have special tricks, villas, and other interesting achievements! Here's part 2: ua-cam.com/video/1xCHwq_rgyk/v-deo.html Want to buy Caesar 3 (or other games) AND support this channel? Use this GOG referral link! af.gog.com/game/caesar_3?as=1715648857

      @ 18:55 , why didn't you use the Granary AS a road? It would limit the intersection and take up less space.

      58:37 Can we take a moment to appreciate this auxiliary force and their formation performance there?
      BTW, the more one plays C3, the more you get the feeling that Impressions coded the thing, but never played it. It looks really polished on the outside, but there are some issues which really start to bug the user after some time. Agreed, I'd say there are easily 90% of games with worse issues - and Impressions fixed the most annoying stuff in later titles - but there are some things which really stand out.
      Tutorial: "Try to avoid intersections"
      Caesar3: "Look at this very vital building. It comes with a free intersection."
      There's also a building that blocks aimless walkers (aimlessness in itself is 100% excusable, an A.I. for every walker would have been too hard on 1998's hardware), BUT it's not only rather big and expensive, it takes away workers and desirability.
      Caesar3: "It's perfectly fine to build here"
      Also Caesar3: "Oops, that blocked access to Rome, we must level this building"
      A quick blocking check wouldn't have slowed the game down, not even on the average PC in 1998.
      Even worse, instead of undoing the newest building ( _which even a feature of the GUI ffs_ ) the game starts randomly deleting stuff until the road to Rome is free again. Idiot programming at its finest.
      That last one sounds like some badly rushed job at Impressions.
      "Fix that issue, and hurry up. We'll upload the master copy to Media Production on Friday 3 pm."
      "Wait what, it's Friday _today_ !"
      "Yes, and it's 5 to 3, that's why I told you to hurry up!"

    Some tips: Centralize, otherwise you will run out of space and food supply routes will be stretched. Also, be sure to reroute the roads of the barbarian city. The missionary posts will actually affect number of workers. Get weapon / marble industry fast to earn money.

  • @zarquan3144
    @zarquan3144 7 років тому +4

    If you are using warehouses to get food, you can set some of the warehouses to Empty as well as Get, with the rest being set to not-empty and get. This will have them get up to 8 food and then try to empty down to 4. They attempt to empty in to a granary unless it is full. If the granary is full, it will attempt to fill a non-emptying warehouse, thus allowing you to completely fill a warehouse with wheat if the granary is full, which can increase stability and help transfer more food to a disconnected section of the city. It also give a nice visual indicator as to whether they are eating more food than is being delivered. If you use this strategy, you want the not-emptying warehouse next to the granary to decrease delivery time.
    I use strategies like this to saturate areas with resources of all kinds, like pottery,
    Also, the granaries don't get from the warehouses. The warehouses deliver to the granary. It's a minor detail for your system with 6 warehouses, but it means the number of deliverers is limited by the number of warehouses (and the distance between the warehouses and the granary).

  • @ElDaFee

    Dear Zakh,
    I have no idea whether you can remember that years ago I commented on your last Lugdunum-playthrough about my problem that you cannot set the granaries to "getting goods" in the German version of this game. I thought it was kind of a glitch and did not manage to find a solution online. I therefore failed this mission over and over.
    With regards to this, 31:40 is a huge revelation for me. I never had any warehouse set to accepting wheat because I did not knew the granaries would get the food out of them. So, that is the reason why in the German version there is no "getting goods" for granaries, because they do not NEED one (when there is a warehouse nearby, they just start getting their stuff from them, it really is amazing). I tested it and it works. You have no idea how happy I am at the moment.
    I wonder why there are a few things that seem to be kept secret about Caesar III. It was the same with the reservoir-trick. And now this! It will make things a lot easier. (And it is the first time, my advisors do not tell me that I did not store any food in this month!)
    Anyway, THANK YOU.

      I remember the "click and drag" trick for reservoirs. It was somewhere in the game, either in the printed manual (which was the size of a book), or in one of the tutorial messages in mission 2 about water supply.
      I THINK it was English, too, so it might have been in the C3 demo (and without demos, I would have missed SO many great games: M.A.X., C3, MF:CS, Diablo). I wasn't even that big into city management, but C3 got me hooked.

    Ha ha, this mission and I, we will probably never get along well. I tried it again with the new warehouse tactics this morning - and suddenly on one spot of the map, wolfs kept respawning all the time. I finished them all off, but one will randomly respawn and attack my people (I am pretty sure this is not intended by the developers, since I play on very (!!!) easy and never had a problem like this). I killed it many times but it returned anyways ... argh! It must be some kind of my personal Lugdunum grudge, ha ha. Well, I think I will try it one last time tomorrow ... >.>

    wheat is moved between these 6 warehouses and warehouse workers do not go for a new wheat to the main warehouse for a long time. As a result, the distant region does not receive the right amount of wheat. It's a big problem for me. Please, help me, dear GamerZakh!)

      @@GamerZakh I also noticed one interesting feature. If you delete, for example, a large insulae (population 84 people) and build it again, then at first a small number of people will occupy it and there will be free rooms. The entire population will recover in a few years to a maximum of 84 people. Do you know how to populate the maximum number of people (84) faster?

      Huh what do you mean? You can't get meat without a pig farm, so if I have meat I have a pig farm.

      Yeah, between 200-300 population on Very Hard difficulty, no matter what your people are upset and will move out. If you don't manage it you will never get passed 200-300 population.

    Dude, how the fuck do you have so much knowledge about Caesar III?

    • @GamerZakh
      @GamerZakh  6 років тому

      Played the game back in 98, played Pharaoh and Emperor back when they were new too. Found Caesar Heaven and block designs back in 98. Then started playing it again in 2012 as an adult and been playing since, so it probably totals to about 10-12 years of Impressions city-building experience.
