A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I haven't made a new thread weekly exactly, but with the amount of activity it might need to be fortnightly, here's another recommendations thread.

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.

Caesar III with Augustus mod.

Caesar III is a 1998 Windows city building game, so it's like SimCity, but more fast paced, focused on efficiency, and set in Ancient Rome. You can get it from Steam or GOG. But the game is old, and clearly aged software and gameplay wise.

Then someone created a reimplementation named Julius project, adding some QoL improvement and compatibility with other OSes. And then someone else forked the project and added gameplay changes as well, incorporating features from later games.

Now I can play it in my Android phone in my bed.

On my android? Holy shit brb.

Last time I played a caeser game it was C1 and I was a kid who had no idea which sound card setting to use and would choose different settings every time I booted the game. Sometimes it worked. I had no idea how to play but I loved it.
