Hello there!. I'm WoodsieLord from argentina.
I'm no power gamer but I dare to say that I can manage to get decent cities in Caesar III with villas and even a few palaces. Playing a Valentia (non-campaign) is one of the pleasures I enjoy the most. I only discovered Caesar IV last year! and now that I have a computer that can handle it I started playing. A few things I noticed are:
- Game runs slow / hw requirements are insane
- Has map editor!
- Map editor is a headake!
- has multiplayer
- system is quite different from Caesar 3.
I think I managed to win Narbo scenario and started to use cheats. I find no sence in using cheats, but I was hoping to find a few more 'unrestricted' big maps ahead.
my big question to you all Caesar fans is:
Is there a way or a downloadeable custom map that will make me feel like Valentia does?
- I want no Caesar existance. I don't want to send him nothing.
- Big map if possible. I want to be able to hold +10k people
- Once, I wanted to ask for trade cities importing infinite amounts of goods until I found out today that blessing Mercury will refresh the goods count. anyways, having a city willing to buy 500+ good units won't hurt me
- Important: ENDLESS. I want to make a city grow and watch the render, take screenshots and the like. I don't have anything to surpass or win.
Maybe I'm just too crazy for you to understand... but I got a bit disapointed with this. I don't like the "history mode" in games. Even less in strategy games, RTS and the like.. where you must start over every time and again and again!
PD: About the hardware requirement/ performance. Once I get a small 500 - 1000 people city established, I'm getting about 15 FPS in the farest view, right from above. If I pan the camera to see the horizon, it gets much worse.
My hardware is an 1.8 GHz dual core AMD, 4GB RAM (3GB in 32bit winXP), 8800GTS 640mb (g80). Is this normal? I read everywhere that this game is a Real system Hog.. is it this bad? I'm probably moving to Octo core next month but games are usually not multithreaded or in the best cases they scale up to 2 or 4 threads...
Thanks in advance,
cya!
