Lutetia play time: 2h:41m (Hard Difficulty)
Full playlist: • The Original Caesar II...
I've decided to finish games I never managed to from my childhood! Starting with Caesar III, a 1998 city-building game developed by Impressions Games and published by Sierra Entertainment, that has incredibly tough later levels.
All missions will be cut shorter; I'm not trying to upload as many videos as I can.

Just picked up this game on a Steam sale for a few bucks. I find these videos to be very informative about game mechanics and I learned a lot about building efficient cities. So even in 2021, these videos are still providing good value. Aged like fine wine
I'm glad you like the series! This was so long ago and literally my 2nd series of videos ever, never thought people would like them so much.
This map took me 12 hours.
Also I really like how the first thing you say is that you reached 200 subscribers over the weekend, and looking at your channel now, you're about to break 100k. Makes me smile.
Haha it really has been a long time since then. This was my 2nd series on the channel, first proper one after I decided to give RUclips a proper shot.
Oh I remember watching this 6 years ago. I couldn't understand 50% of the words he was saying (not a native english speaker) but still learned a lot, for example 9*9 blocks. I was also envious of how good he was playing as I wasn't able to get past mission 7. So I was looking for moments where the enemy invasion messes him up cause it made me feel not so bad about myself. It feels so cool to rediscover the channel and the series after so long. I still have the disc with this game and maybe it's time to complete it finally somewhere during the summer. We'll see. Anyway, it's awesome that the game is not forgotten after 20+ years and GamerZakh and other people still work on improving it.
@@Frank_Lee_Terrible Hey that's so cool you're back! It has been a long time, glad you enjoyed the videos!
Watching this in 2021, so funny to see how you struggled the same as I did back then, lacking understanding a lot of mechanics :)
Such an awesome game!
The first run is always tough with these games. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks! I will someday finish all the missions! You could always give the game another go and use my videos as guides if you get stuck =D
I've watched this play through many times, yet each time I always noticed something different, and its so easy to listen to, once again, keep up the awesome work
More than just a caricature of modern Paris, Lutetia was the Roman name for Paris. Check out Asterix's journey around Gaul. Burdigala -> Bordeaux, Lugdunum -> Lyon, Massilia -> Marseilles. Actually, lots of European cities had Roman names: Caesaraugusta -> Zaragossa, Toletum -> Toledo etc. etc.
Several observations.
1. You should sink your extra plebs in towers not academies. Build extensive fortification with towers every 2 tiles. Each tower takes 10 plebs, if memory serves and there are a lot more useful than extra academies.
Battle at 41:00 fully illustrates my point.
2. Is a good idea to create raw material warehouses, for every resource, at point of extraction. That way you can observe at a glance if you produce enough raw materials to feed your industries.
3. Each pair of housing block should have 3 dedicated warehouses, for oil, pottery and furniture and 2 granaries.Makes it very easy to observe the shortages and deal with them accordingly.
4. Its a good idea to set up a small palace section. The income from the palaces will supplement your treasury quite nicely and if developed enough can even surpass your trade income which is rather fixed. Also is a very good way to put the extra plebs to work, instead of building academies. As a bonus, your city would look even nicer, since they require many desirability buildings.
Zamolxes77 You don't need raw material warehouses, it actually creates bottleneck due to one warehouse only has one cart pusher, it would be less efficient than strait from raw materials to workshops. And the ratio between raw and workshops is very simple so you don't need to worry about excessive production.
***** It doesn't in my experience, it creates a visual check of your production. I take a snap of the levels in my warehouses and know if I have to build more or not. Easy.
Also if I'm not mistaken, warehouses have 3 cart pushers not one ...
Zamolxes77
Well, more precisely whether a "bottleneck" situation occured depends on how far away this "raw material warehouse" is located toward raw material buildings, and it's location toward the workshops.
If you have a surplus of raw materials, and the raw warehouse is further than the round trip distance (33 walking title), than raw material buildings will have some idle time, waiting for the cart to go back (when all workshops is stocked, and raw cart pushers have to go to warehouse instead). And if the one cart pusher from the raw warehouse can't serve the workershop in time, the workshop might not even be able to keep 100% working time as well (thus you bottleneck yourself with less than 100% efficiency raw material production and probably workshop efficiency as well)
Generally speaking, since the production ratio is the exact 1:2, for every raw material building it can serve 2 workshops (as long as they are all within round trip distance, 33 tiles from raw to workshop, and 66 tiles from workshop to storage), you don't need any intermedia warehouse to store the raw material anyway. It's just a waste of storage space, or waste of building space and manpower (especially when you have excessive raw materials, just delete the extra raw materials and save some workers, instead of building an extra warehouse and waste more workers). And you could easily check how many workshops, raw materials of each type in trade advisor screen, you don't have to count them by hand. (granted a visual clue is neat, but if you are relying on visual clue to balance production, you clearly is doing the production ratio wrong)
BTW, a warehouse have many kinds of cart pushers, and what you define cart pusher belongs to. Three carts can transport export/import goods between a warehouse and a dock (usually these cart pushers are considered as dock cart pushers, not warehouses' since they spawn at the dock), but a warehouse only send out one cart when transporting goods toward workshops. And it's mutually exclude with long distance cross country cart that transport goods betwen warehouses (which is also only one at a time)
Do you have any maps or pictures I can see for reference? As the level progresses, I get confused over items and stuff and shortage.
@@Zamolxes77 The ratio of raw materials is 1 unit for every 2 factories. So, it's always 2 olive oil factories to every olive farm and so on. There's no need of much checking for this.
And the only place with three carts are the docks. Warehouses and granaries have only one cart.
Link to buy it in the description from gog.com =D Cheap and it's ready to run on modern operating systems!
I never really needed to build hospitals. Well I did put some hospitals when I want to turn housing into palaces and villas, but normal residences don't require it. Doctors are enough. Gates prevent walkers from going through them, so the market lady, prefect, and all other service people always walk around the housing block fully each time. No chance they can turn down another path. Walkers with destinations, like the market lady going to a granary, can pass though.
Played C3 a lot when it was new back in the 90s, and started playing it again in recent months; it's still one of my all-time favourite games. Lutetia is one of the most fun maps because resources are almost limitless, enabling you to build as many luxury palaces as you can fit on the map and thus turning this city into a money pit.
Btw thanks for sharing info, I never knew warehouses can get goods without road connection- not necessary on this map but on other maps it really did help me out!
It blocks random walkers, so a market lady distributing food will walk full circle every time. But it allows walkers with a destination, so market lady going to get food is allowed through. Gates are essential for city stability.
Thanks for the explanation! Your knowledge of the game's mechanics still is amazing.
Gatehouses block walkers from going through. This ensures that services like market ladies, engineer's, prefects, bath, etc. all go around the housing block every time they spawn. Gates don't block walkers with destinations through, so market ladies can still go to a granary/warehouse no probs.
Haha I haven't read an Asterix comic for over a decade! XD Can't remember much, but thanks for telling me! Might have to go look it up again.
I'm disappoint. Lutetia Parisiorum was an island city on the middle of the Seine River. And there's not even a fucking river over there.
Here I am watching your Caesar 3 playthrough again now that I am playing through it also again, before I try the Augustus mod. Here in the video you just hit 200 subscribers, now you almost have 150k. Just nice. Keep up the great work.
Hey thanks! It has been a while since this video haha. I'm coming up to my 10 year anniversary soon.
@@GamerZakh Cheers to you sir. More power to you and your channel.
You made a very efficient city, in record time 13 years only, but it was ugly to see the temples all together. the academies etc. I guess the end justifies the means
Hmm I probably should, I've done plenty of them for Salem lol. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hello! I'm from Mexico, I love this game and I'm actually using your videos to learn English while having fun. You are amazing!
+GamerZakh Another excellent video - I really do enjoy watching your series especially your Caesar III series is my all time favorite in city building. Very beautiful and efficient designs!
P.S.: To make immigrants move in faster/flood into the city there are two ways : a) Raise wages (always works) b) Cut or even Eliminate Taxes altogether (if you don't tax them which is a waste, it produces quite a fair amount equivalent to the total export on maps like these). Also, you could ramp up food production as that food prompt at the total information bar or food storage tab will tell you.
I never played Zeus, I tried it recently but not sure if I like it enough to do a playthrough. Pharaoh was definitely an improvement over C3 in terms of game mechanics and variety. Played it just as much and will probably do a playthough on that haha. Emperor I played, and is the most refined, but I personally don't find it as charming. Might do videos on it but not any time soon.
Good Work Zakh:D Im so sad to know you are working so much with this videoes and you didnt get as many viewers as you deserve, But keep up the good work you are the best:D
Lutetia is Paris.
Thanks for your letsplays. brings back great memories.
Great job!! I enjoy watching; very smooth and relaxing. Thank you
Managed eventually to win Tingis after Rome blocked the road and i had to reroute the aqua ducts. Thanks to you and your hints, keep up the good work, now going on to Lutetia. can't stop playing this mad game.... lol
Spacebar will flatten all building but you will still be able to see people on the road; such as rebellious gladiators.
These take days to produce so I have to wait until I'm really free lol. I definitely wanna get one more out this month.
Did I miss your comment? I do plan to go through Pharoah and Emperor too eventually =)
Yje guy at the beginning was a proconsul, which is the next rank. Finally got back to these vids and your version went much smoother then mine but in mine I was trying to show villas and It was done before I went top Countingtls's school of roman governing
Hmm I haven't tried it I think. I know they used to a long time ago, but not sure with this version. I'll try it out when I can.
Some older versions are pre-patch and are missing some features. I'm looking forward to it too haha!
No trouble at all. Thanks for the work your doing, great videos for great games.
Haha I can't take credit for the square, it's called the 9x9 and it's a popular technique. The flower design where I have 8-10 of these squares with a centralised distribution system is something I developed over time though =)
You don't have to build academies to handle unemployment problem.. Just raise salary by 2-3 denaries so people will still love you and no crime happens. And you don't need prefectures in this mission (and some other). There is no risk of fire ever. Check it out
+h0Nt667 - Yeah but I like controlling employment and it helps raise culture. I also build prefectures to deal with gladiator riots, protestors, and if during an invasion troops get through the prefects help out, so I build prefectures on every mission regardless.
+GamerZakh I'm just building the easiest way so I don't have actor colonies etc. They are only needed for palaces to level up. By the way I had 16 luxury palaces this mission (2 stacks of what you were doing in the last episode). That's 100 prosperity. But only 13 of them were stable due to the lack of farmlands (couldn't feed them without shrinking the population below 10k). I maxed taxes from 7% to 25% and also salary from 30 to 40 to stabilize mood. So I had 90k of taxes a year comparing to export of 10k.
Why don't you built towers instead of academies with the extra unemployment? Won't it give you defense and reduce your unemployment issue?
Mirrorwarrior Towers are less cost effective and don't use up as many people. Academies take a lot of people to staff.
GamerZakh
Ah okay!
My childhood!
40:38 Terrible strategy! The bottleneck was a great idea but you should've waited for the Gauls to come to your legionaires rather than send your soldiers out into the open. Legions in formation are stronger and less vulnerable in comparison to when they're moving. And the javelins standing behind them keep striking the oncoming enemy. You just made your 300 sacrifice themselves to the Persians :) Also, I feel it's easier to please the gods when you have a few festivals in their honor.
Many of those cities are still around today. Mediolanum = Milan, Lugdunum= Lyon, Londinium = you get the idea.
20 total I think, 2 starting then 9 on each campaign? If I'm not mistaken.
aha! i always thought that the annoying thing about this game compared to the later games in the series such as Pharaoh etc that you had very litte control over your walkers. Man that good to know!
i've been watching you play this game and i copied all your strategies. having fun playing this game. frustrating yet fulfilling. haha
if you can pause the game you might make do with javelins alone.. 6 javelin legions strafing all the way should take care of any force
Haha yeah the in-game instruction is not very clear for C3. Lots of secrets and unknown things. Here's one: did you know that a warehouse set to 'Getting' will send out a cart to another warehouse to get the goods, and it DOESN'T need a road connecting the 2 warehouses? lol.
I really wish someday you play one of those huge provinces where you can expand enormously. I wonder how magnificent city you could build on one of those maps.
Can't wait for the next mission playthrough :D
Haha happened to me too! It is a hard game to grasp, that's why I never got far when I was a kid lol. If you feel like playing again you can check my vids if you get stuck again =)
I also get this far and always when I try to complete this mission I just lost my patience and I just quit ;D . any way, good Job I enjoyed this one. Hope you make some more caesar 3 playthrough vids. :)
Totalbiscuits on GoG has some interesting RTS's
That's true haha. I should start building those!
By Toutatis!
Have you never read any Asterix comics?^^
Lutetia is portrayed several times as caricature of modern Paris.
You're probably lucky that these Gauls here don't have a magic potion.^^
Nice tip!
How can you ask for an army in the map editor?
Beautiful palaces I saw in the 11th mission I think, so i'd like to ask: having 2 types of wine means to export from 2 different cities or product 1 in-house and export the second, or actually exist 2 different types of wine? Thank you for your patience
The 2 wines thing is a bit silly with how it works. You can have one type produced locally and then the second you set the wine resource to 'import' it immediately makes all your wine count as '2 types'. You can also just open trade routes to 2 different places that sell wine and the moment you set wine to 'import' all wine counts as 2 types.
love these videos! can you please carry on and do missions 9 and 10?
Haha thanks! =D
Today I won lutetia but when I was reaching 7k habitants suddenly population drop down by 1.5k after popping colosseum. Actually the game didn't permit me to have villas. I think there is a glitch somewhere at some point...
Im not sure i understand but if you upgrade to villas, that population leaves the workforce, leaving you short of workers. Services dont work properly and then your normal housing devolves leaving you even more short of workers. Then your villas devolve and you gain the workforce back. Watch what you are doing in your villa development.
Haha there are plenty of things that aren't explained in C3. Despite being tested to death and super attention to detail in terms of game design and visual communication from the devs, their instructions suck lol.
Is that where this is? Haha cool.
Haha I don't think the names change, freaky!
I've been playing this game many years ago but, I wasn't aware of function of gates except closing down my city wall with!
It's a shame this game doesn't give You a tutorial. How You can win a map withouth the gates that apparently seems useful only in the walls??!?
LOL! Great!
Maybe you should make a video or blog maybe, about tricks and fact you know about this game.
steve the capitulator.. I wonder if that name was generated for him after he retreated or it's just some strange coincidence ;)
4 more I think =)
Barbers in those days won't only for haircuts
Each time I watch one of your videos on Caesar III there's always people to ask you why you build gatehouses x)
You're welcome!
I always have a food shortage problem with this map when trying to do this map. Probably evolving too many
houses...
Maps do have a limit for how many people you can feed as farmland is limited. To be sure though, are any of your farms stuck on 100% for any amount of time? If a farm is at 100%, that means the cart pusher for that farm has to go too far to deliver food.
@@GamerZakh I made sure that did not happen, I suspect I have to make a bvetter use of the food space
wow 200 subs! 5 years later. you have 50k!
It has been a bit of a journey haha!
THERE WERE GAULS NAMED STEVE!
Two hundred subscribers :)
This was a while ago haha
My version does not have the difficulty option either nor can the sentry talk? GamerZakh - I am looking forward to your promotion to Caesar
Hello this is not the same map you can download from map base. Why is that?
hey dude i like and enjoy your vids but i have doubts : i don't see u building hospitals and why are u building gates ?????
Do you plan on playing any games like this with your awesome walkthrough nature in the future?
holy hell, i remember this game, i was stuck on the 2nd / 3rd mission where i need to produce loads of wheat and failed miserably then caesar give me more money and i still failed the 3rd time i ran out of money he send armies to destroy me lol good times
So it looks like you can decrease the overall unemployment just from having a few houses near multiple industries. I always thought the houses an employer walks by are the only ones hired. Well that explains my childhood of failure trying to make everything connected to the center population.
I think I played it a tiny bit? I never owned the game though =S
make more !!!
in the north land as this, the wheat growning is terrible, take twice of time to get wheat
hate this map...can't seem to estabilish a good trading before moving whithout a local uprising destroying everything every time..
you are the best!
Have you played Heroes of Might and Magic III Zakh? It is similar to Age of Wonders. One of my fav childhood games. :)
Haha palaces make any mission twice as hard.
Damn, dat micro at 23:00!
Instead of making so many academy, you could have made a hippodrome =p
Why do you need gatehouses?
How you manage so far into the game without a single market ???/
Huh? There are markets.
How do you have so much population? I have 9 residential areas, 8 of them between small, medium and mostly big insulae and I still only have 6.4k / 10k and I cant make them anywhere further away because I will go to far away from the food supply...
I'm not sure lol. The video pretty much shows everything that I could tell you.
Well, I did it :=) I managed that missions as well now. Though I used 13 Full residential areas (and a slightly squished one) on average on small insulae level (had some small casas in there cause of the mass)
Which differences does changing the difficulty have?
I suspect twice the amount of starting money... anything else?
+linieblau its only the money :)
Sanando Chanda
ty
linieblau My pleasure.
+linieblau it also lowers the citisen's mood, I guess it is only for highest difficulty
h0Nt667 Are you sure? It doesn't seem like it though.
Well... thanks - but you are preaching to the converted.^^
I referred to it as "caricature" because the authors put in references to modern times to make fun of those.
Greetings from Turicum / Zürich.
What is the purpose of gatehouses?
21:20 my reaction 2 with 1 vegtable farm though
Mea culpa... mea culpa :)
You built Paris. lol
R.I.P Romans :(
Why not build a Colosseum or something like that for unemployment?
Blackbeard...and...NoBeard :-D
bad pronunciation
I try my best but I'm not always sure.
