Julius / Augustus
- Both support Windows, OS X and Linux, and are open-source projects.
- Julius is an open source re-implementation of Caesar III based on SDL2. It does not fix some of the issues presented in the game itself, but it brings in a 32-bit windowed mode support and widescreen support. The saved games from the original game are compatible with this software.
- Augustus is a fork of Julius which brings several gameplay improvements and changes, such as roadblocks (akin to those in later City Building series games), global labor pool, increased limits and zoom functionality, among other things. The original game can not read Augustus saved games.
