Ratings and reviews

Surprisingly good. I played c3 when it originally came out and this app does a great job off letting me play it on my phone. I would give it 5/5 if there was some way to enable me to use keyboard shortcuts like maybe assigning the back button to the on screen keyboard or using a menu option to enable it. A pinch function to enable zooming would be so good as well. Definitely recommend to any Caesar fans.

Exceptional! Absolutely exceptional work on this port. I cannot even begin to express how long I have waited for something like this. The Impressions Games; Caesar, Pharaoh, Zeus, & Emperor are truly the best city-building games I have ever played. This port is beautiful and runs flawlessly on my device. Please, please, develop similar ports for those other wonderful games. I, and I'm certain many others, would gladly donate to such a cause. Keep up the good work!

Instructions to install dont seem hard. Buy the c3 files from gog, download the offline installer file, extract with the inno setup extractor app, point to the extracted app folder, play. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. Persistent error that the app folder is not a valid Ceasar 3 folder. It's on internal storage, as the only tip suggests. Must be some other pathing requirements that are undocumented or some android version issues?
