Getting Started

With the inclusion of all-new buildings and walkers, Augustus requires additional
graphic files to be installed. Without these files, your game will not be able to use our
new assets, resulting in a glitched display.

When obtaining the install files from GitHub, please ensure you download all available
Augustus files for your chosen version of the mod. From Version 4.0 onwards, a full
download for Windows should consist of 4 core files, as well as a single folder:
(1x) augustus.exe / (1x) augustus.pdb / (2x) library .dll files
(1x) ‘assets’ folder

The .exe, .pdb, and .dll files can be extracted and run from anywhere on your computer,
and the ‘assets’ folder MUST be extracted into the same location than augustus.exe or
into your original Caesar III install location. The assets folder is essential so new
graphical assets can be displayed in your game. If this folder is not found, the game will
warn you on launch, and any missing asset will be noted in the log file
(‘augustus-log.txt’).
Note: when upgrading to newer versions of Augustus, the previous assets folder must
be deleted first, then replaced by the up-to-date assets folder, to prevent compatibility
issues.

If you have any questions regarding installation, or are unsure about how to install on
different platforms other than Windows, please feel free to join GamerZakh’s Discord
and post in the Caesar 3 dedicated channel. We will be prompt in offering assistance
with any issues which may arise, as we want everyone to enjoy this new update!

Configuration

Augustus presents a number of configurable game options to tailor gameplay

experience to personal tastes. The Options menu is accessed from either the main
menu, or the options tab at the top of the screen, and contains hotkey, UI, difficulty, and
gameplay settings. The settings and the configurable options have been categorized into
4 different tabs, with the General Settings for sounds, language localizations, and
resolutions being on the first tab.

● Note about zoom hotkeys: as of version 4.0, Zoom in, Zoom out, and Reset zoom controls can
be assigned to any keys now, or respectively to mouse wheel scroll up, scroll down, and middle
click, which are now the default zoom hotkeys.

● Set another language: create a folder (named by language) in the Caesar III installation
directory, then copy these 4 files inside: c3.eng, c3_map.eng, c3_map_mm.eng, and c3_mm.eng.
The created folder will be available in the “Language” drop-down list. Select it and click
“Apply”.

● User Interface ●

User Interface (UI) options are displayed on the second tab of the Options menu. With
the addition of a scale bar for the scroll speed, the other configurable options are:

● Play intro videos

● Extra information in the control panel
○ Displays a game speed control and additional information about the
scenario in the sidebar:
■ Population
■ Unemployment
■ Ratings
■ Requests
● Enable smooth scrolling
● Ask for confirmation when overwriting a file
● Disable map scrolling on windows edge
● Show range when building reservoirs, fountains, and wells
● Show range of fountains and wells when building houses
● Show range when building markets
● Show draggable construction size
○ Displays small yellow text in the format of “1x2” to let you know how
many tiles wide and long your construction area is.
○ Particularly useful for laying roads, houses, demolishing trees, and
anything else that can be built by clicking and dragging.
● Highlight legion on cursor hover
● Enable military sidebar
○ When you left click a legion, the sidebar building buttons are replaced
with an information panel detailing the legion’s status (morale, health,
size) and buttons to issue commands to the legion.
● Disable dragging with right mouse button
● Display max attainable prosperity rating with current housing
○ Number only shows if the player has not reached the prosperity goal.
● Separate digits
○ Displays thousand separators for large numbers.
● Inverse dragging map with right mouse button
● Show new messages as alerts instead of popups
○ Messages popups do not interrupt the game and are shown as simple
alerts in the upper part of the screen.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 4

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

● Show grid
○ Display a construction grid on the whole map.
● Show partial grid around construction
○ Display a 2-tile-wide grid around buildings during placement.
● Always show rotation buttons
○ Rotation buttons are displayed automatically if a building has variants or
can be rotated. (aimed for mouse-only or touch controls)
● Preview paths travelled by roaming walkers
○ Colours road tiles in blue, showing paths a building’s walker roams
around.
○ Can only be accessed while viewing an overlay (Fire Risk for prefects,
School for children, and so on), and when placing or left-clicking a
building.
○ Green squares show where walkers spawn, red squares where they
despawn. Purple squares mean the walker spawns and despawns on the
same tile.
● Draw cloud shadows
○ Simulates the clouds' casted shadows, slowly moving above the city.

● Difficulty ●

Difficulty options are displayed on the third tab of the Options menu. The vanilla game
difficulty has been made into a scale on this option tab. The configurable options are:

● Enable god curses/blessings

● Disable jealousness of gods
● Enable global labour pool
○ Removes the need to have labor-seeking citizens pass by housing. Instead,
all buildings with road access will be fully staffed if there is a sufficient
number of unemployed citizens.
● Change citizens retirement age from 50 to 60
○ By default, citizens retire at age 50 and no longer contribute to your
workforce. This forces you to rely heavily on immigration when city
health is good and creates an unstable workforce.
○ If you enable “Fixed worker pool – 38% of plebian population”, then this
option has no effect.
● Fixed worker pool – 38% of plebeian population

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 5

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

○ Enabling this option will set your worker pool to 38% of your plebeian
population, without regard for age.
● Block building around wolves
● Allow building multiple barracks
● Disable infinite wolves spawning
● Maximum number of Grand Temples that a player can build per city: defaults
to 2

● City Management ●

City Management options are displayed on the fourth tab of the Options menu. These
options are:

● Buying market ladies don’t distribute goods

○ By default, market buyers also sell goods stocked in their market to any
homes they pass while travelling to purchase more food and goods to sell.
By preventing this, you can more tightly control the availability of foods
and goods in various parts of the city.
○ For example, a market buyer going to purchase wine may pass houses you
do not want to be able to purchase wine. If you allow market buyers to
also sell, then these houses will be able to buy wine from that market
buyer, potentially triggering an unwanted evolution into patricians.
● Cart pushers from getting granaries can go off road
○ Enables a cart pusher from a granary set to “get” a type of food to go off
road to reach a granary set to “accept” that type of food.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 6

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

○ Removes the need for a road connection between a granary set to “accept”
a type of food and another granary set to “get” that type of food.
○ As with warehouses, they will get food from the nearest “accepting”
granary and will ignore other “getting” granaries, even if they are nearer
than the “accepting” granary.
● Double the capacity of cart pushers from getting granaries
● Allow traders to export food from granaries
○ Before Augustus, food imports and exports, as well as Caesar requests,
only worked if food was stored in warehouses. As this may be sometimes
inconvenient, Augustus now allows both importing food and sending
food requests directly from granaries. However, since exporting food may
make people starve, this specific new feature was added as a setting.
● Tower sentries don’t need road access from barracks
○ Enables sentries to go off road to reach their assigned tower.
○ Removes the need for a road connection between the barracks and the
tower.
○ Note that towers still require road access for staffing purposes and that
unstaffed towers still cannot receive sentries.
● Farms and wharves only deliver to nearby granaries
○ Prevents farm and wharf cart pushers from traveling to the opposite end
of the map to deposit their harvest or catch into an accepting granary.
○ Improves efficiency by keeping cart pushers’ trips short.
○ Distance is calculated “as the crow flies”, regardless of road distance. The
limit is 64 tiles.
● Food isn’t delivered to getting granaries
○ Enables better control over farm and wharf cart pushers’ behaviour by
preventing them from taking their harvest or catch to a granary that is
“getting” that food type.
● All houses merge
○ Force houses in a 2x2 area that are of the same quality, such as “small
tent”, “large casa”, or “small insulae”, to merge into the 2x2 variant. This
removes the random element assigned to map tiles to determine if homes
will merge on that tile.
● Randomly collapsing pits and mines take some money instead
○ When random events “Iron mine collapse” and “Clay pit flooded” happen,
the related building does not collapse to rubble. Instead, its current
production is reset and money is directly taken from the city funds to
simulate the reconstruction.

● Warehouses and granaries don’t accept anything when built

● Houses don’t expand into gardens
● Roaming walkers don’t skip corners
○ If disabled, roaming walkers sometimes cut corners, and do not trigger
their passage for buildings on the outer edge of the corner.
● Citizens will automatically kill harmless animals
○ If disabled, peaceful animals (sheep and zebras) are not killed on sight,
unless you send a legion.
● Non-military gates default to allowing all walkers
○ When built over roads, Garden Walls or Hedges become Garden Gates,
acting as a roadblock. In case of only decorative purposes, they can be set
to allow all walkers by default.

Two hidden options are available in the augustus.ini file:

● ui_display_fps: displays current fps on the top left corner
● ui_show_speedrun_info: displays current difficulty level on the bottom left corner

New Core Features

● Logistics ●

Cart Depot:
The Cart Depot is a new building allowing players to greatly improve the logistics of
their city. Warehousemen are freed from “getting” tasks, and can concentrate on
delivering imported goods to workshops instead. It is now possible to transfer goods
directly between warehouses and granaries at will, and to dispatch resources over very
large cities more easily.

Right-click a cart depot to set the transfer orders and conditions. Numbers will appear
above each storage building on the map. Use the “center camera” button to center the
city view on the corresponding buildings. An ox cart will transfer goods between
designated buildings, but will need to return to its cart depot between each delivery.
Each depot is outfitted with 3 ox carts.

Roadblocks:
Taking inspiration from later city-building Impressions games, we added
roadblocks. We have improved the concept of roadblocks by adding special
orders, which can be set by right-clicking the roadblock. Roadblocks will prevent
roaming walkers from crossing them-use them to close off your housing blocks or better
direct walkers. Roadblocks have no effect on “destination” walkers-entertainers coming
from entertainer schools, cart pushers, market buyers etc. These walkers have a goal in
mind and will not be dissuaded!
Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 9
 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

Various buildings have now available roadblock settings: Gatehouses, Triumphal

Arches, Garden Gates, Palisade Gates (cf. related chapters).

Highways:
The highway is a new type of road: only destination walkers can use it, therefore it does
not allow housing to be built next to it, but the walkers will move twice as fast on it
than on a regular road.
However, Romans excellence in building roads has a price: each part of a highway (2x2
tiles) cost 100 denarii, then 1 denarius per month in maintenance levies. Plan carefully
how much you will spend for your road network!

Market Orders, Warehouse Orders, Granary Orders:

Markets now have a “Special orders” menu to enable or halt the acquisition of food and
goods. When set to “Not trading”, the market buyer will not attempt to get that good.
Further, when viewing the market’s storage of food and goods, the 0 will be red to
indicate the resource is not being acquired nor sold.

Warehouse and granary special orders will now show a display enabling
control of space allocation in that structure for a resource. You can select the
following to control storage: 32, 24, 16, 8.

You now can control how many goods are stored in a warehouse or granary (which can
now store up to 3200 units of food) by clicking the order button until it changes to your

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 10

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

desired amount. Both warehouses and granaries will send cart pushers to fetch the
assigned goods until they reach their selected limit for that good.
For a resource that is “not accepted”, the default value of the stock is set to 32 and
cannot be changed. However, the value has no influence on a possible storage of the
resource. When changing back its acceptance status, the value previously set will be
displayed again.

More stockpiling options:

Raw materials and food can now be stockpiled on an individual
building basis in order to reserve their use for processes other than
consumption or creation of finished goods-- such as monument
construction, Lighthouse maintenance, or requests. Production
buildings now have an option to stockpile resources on the bottom right box of the
building window rather than automatically sending them to the nearest workshop or
granary. Warehouses now have an option to disable ressource delivery to workshops or
granaries if stockpiling is ordered on an individual building basis.

Warehouses and granaries also now show new coloured flags that change based
on permissions enabled for the building.

● Production ●

New resources, production buildings, and workshops:

As of version 4.0, we have started adding new resources to Caesar III. This first batch is
aimed to vary the materials needed for monument construction (cf. Monuments &
Construction chapter) and provide a new layer of economic management.

● Gold
Gold can be slowly extracted from the city’s rocky areas by building a Gold
mine. Gold is an extremely valuable item to export, if there are wealthy buyers
for it in the empire. If a Senate is built in the city, the governor is allowed to build a City
Mint (3x3 mini monument), where gold can be minted into coins added to the city
funds, or coins melted into gold. It is said that if the governor has his own residence in
the city, he can draw discreetly in the produced coins and therefore increase his
personal savings…

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 11

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

● Sand
Sand is extracted in the same way as clay, at the difference that the Sand Pit can
be built in the vicinity of a water plan, and not necessarily adjacent to a shore.
Sand is primarily used as a required ingredient to produce either bricks in a Brickworks
or concrete at the Concrete Maker.

● Stone
Stone is extracted from the city’s rocky areas by building a Stone Quarry. Stone
is one of the required materials to construct massive monuments.

● Bricks
Bricks are produced from sand and clay in a Brickworks. They are one of the
required materials to construct massive monuments.

● Concrete
Concrete is produced from sand and water at the Concrete Maker, which
needs access to water supply, either from a reservoir for a maximum
production rate, or a fountain /well at the cost of a slower processing. Concrete is one of
the required materials to build massive monuments. As concrete can not be stored, it
must be used immediately after production (a cart pusher is sent from the Concrete
Maker to deliver to construction sites). If no current construction requires concrete,
production is automatically stopped.

Note: If one of the new resources is not available in the city (neither by production nor
import), some monuments won’t be buildable and thus won’t appear in the
construction menu.

● Additionally, fish and meat have been made into separate food sorts, with
Augustus now having 5 types of food available (wheat, vegetables, fruits, meat, fish).

Production building efficiency:

A new statistic is available in any
production building panel: the
efficiency. It represents the ratio
between how much a production
building can produce in a year versus what it actually produced the past year, allowing
you to check if the production of your industry is optimal. If the efficiency is low, a
message will inform you of the probable causes. (Note: the Fishing Wharf panel
displays the average monthly catch.)

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 12

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

Mothballing individual building:

It is now possible to mothball a production building (or any building having
employees) on an individual basis. This allows, for example, to fine-tune any possible
overproduction without having to turn off the whole industry from the Trade Advisor
screen. Use the new “Mothballed” overlay to check which buildings are currently
mothballed by yourself and not by order of your trade advisor.

● Trade ●

Overhauled Trade Advisor UI:

In Augustus, trade has gained some new features. To keep up with the changes, the UI
of the trade advisor has been overhauled for clarity and efficiency.
● The advisor now shows which goods are exportable and importable based on the
trade routes available in the scenario. It is also now possible to both import and export a
good (such as wine) and set quotas for each type of transaction.
● Buttons have been added at the bottom left for players to choose their land and sea
trade policies, if they have met the conditions to set them.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 13

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

Trade orders can now also be issued from the Empire map
window (by selecting a trading city and clicking on the
desired goods). Trade quotas can now go up to 200. Trader
spawn rate has been increased accordingly.
You can now also view the trade prices set by Rome directly from the empire map.

Dock Orders Enhancement:

You can now set which type of goods a Dock can accept and special orders on docks can
now limit ship access by city of origin (hovering city names with the cursor displays a
tooltip showing which goods the city sells/buys).
Under the old system the docks were restricted only by goods. If you wanted to have a
specific city trade at a dock, you’d have to make sure that the dock in question allows
all goods that the city sells and buys.

Docks having special orders for specific goods work as they did before, but docks can
now be set to serve only trade ships of their respective cities. Ships also do not queue up
in an impractical manner, and ships that already have been waiting to trade will no
longer have their spot in the line be skipped over by a newly spawned ship.

● Translations ●

Thanks to its ever growing community, Caesar III and Julius/Augustus are now
translated in these following languages:

● French ● German ● Greek ● Italian ● Polish ● Portuguese ● Russian ● Spanish ● Swedish

User Interface Improvements

Improved load / save file dialog:

To easily organize your saved
games in Caesar III, the
load/save file dialog now
displays a minimap, type and
name of the mission, as well as
actual funds, population and
date. Save files can be sorted by
name or date, or filtered by
keywords. Building types on the
minimap now have more
distinctive colors.

New Sidebar Information:

To better use the space granted by modern resolutions and
convey more information, we have updated the city screen
sidebar.

New additions to the sidebar have been added: the mood of the
gods, information about any upcoming invasions, and any
requests made by the emperor. The request display also allows
stockpiling the requested goods with a single click, with the
option to continue stockpiling after the request is complete. A
red triangle over the good in the sidebar indicates whether
something is being stockpiled in this manner. Hovering over
Culture, Prosperity, Peace, and Favor ratings, now displays a
tooltip with the corresponding advices from the Ratings
Advisor.

Overhauled Options Menu:

The sound and resolution menus in “Options” have been
overhauled and are accessible from the menu and in-game tabs.
Both function on sliders rather than buttons now.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 15

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

New Overlays:
New overlays have been added alongside some new buildings and mechanics (see
dedicated chapters) and for extra convenience to the player.
Category Overlay What it shows
Risks Enemies Enemy troops or anybody hostile to the city.

Tavern Taverns and their suppliers, as well covered houses.

Entertainment
Arena Has the same purpose as the vanilla Colosseum overlay.

Buildings and houses having Sickness, traders and cart pushers spreading it in

the city.

Levies Buildings having a monthly cost for the city.

Efficiency Production efficiency for any producing building, and their cart pushers.
Commerce
Mothballed Buildings currently mothballed (in pause).

Warehouses Warehouses and their warehousemen.

Roads Road network in the city, and any roadblock type (including Gatehouse).
General
Sentiment Colored houses based on the happiness of the residents.

Tips: To display directly an

overlay without assigning a
dedicated hotkey, use the
"Relative overlay" hotkey
(added by Julius). Hover a building with the mouse cursor, press the hotkey, and the
corresponding overlay will be displayed. This works from the city map or even from
another overlay. Useful to quickly navigate through different overlays with only two
keys!

Copy/Paste buildings settings:

In the same way, it is now possible to quickly copy/paste settings from a building to
another. Hover a building with the mouse cursor, press the defined hotkey for copying
settings, then hover the building to which you want to apply the same settings, and
press the defined hotkey to paste them. In both cases, a banner will appear at the top of
the screen to let you know the operation is a success. This feature applies to raw
production buildings and those having a “Special orders” button.

Clone a building:
With the number of different buildings becoming quite important in Augustus, players
can build something without having to open the construction menu each time, which is

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 16

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

very convenient. Simply hover a building already built on the map, and press the
“Clone a building” hotkey. The same building will be automatically selected from the
construction menu and ready to be placed!

Auto cycle button:

Some categories of buildings have an “Auto
cycle” button in the construction menu.
Enabled, it allows players to build sequentially each variant of a same building (e.g.
small temples) without having to go back to the construction menu. Press the rotation
hotkey (“R” by default) if you want to skip a variant. Disable the auto-cycling by
clicking on the same button, to build the same variant successively again.

New Housing Advisor:

The Housing advisor informs the Governor about the total number of residences
in the city (detailed with ranks), as well as how many people can live in, and the
remaining space available. It also lists the number of residences asking to be provided
with specific goods (pottery, furniture, oil, or wine). Really useful to plan your
industrial production!

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 17

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

Risk icons:
New risk icons in the building information panel show if a building can catch fire, can
collapse, or can be contaminated by sickness (displayed for houses only). The color of
these icons (green, yellow, orange, red) and their tooltips are linked to the risk columns
visible on the corresponding overlay.
Can’t catch fire, does not requires prefect maintenance

Can’t collapse, does not require engineer maintenance

Can catch fire, requires prefect maintenance

Can collapse, requires engineer maintenance

Can be contaminated by sickness (cf. Health & Sickness chapter)

Construction grid:
Always struggling to determine if there’s enough tile space to squeeze buildings there?
Or you’re the kind of meticulous governor desiring to build perfectly symmetrical
cities? Augustus finally implements a common city-builder feature: the construction
grid. You can either choose to display a full grid on the map via the new dedicated
button, or a grid limited to a few tiles around the building when placing it.

Performance & Optimization

Augustus also includes a host of performance and code optimization changes.

There are general multiple small performance improvement but some key performance
optimizations are as follows:

● The graphics rendering has been moved

from software (the CPU) to hardware (the
GPU). This improves game performance so
significantly that it is now possible to zoom
out to view the entire city at once!

● Truly massive cities are now possible-all

hardcoded limits (number of sprites,
walkers, buildings) have been entirely
removed. Running on 21st century
hardware, the game will now support far more buildings and walkers than it did in
the 1990s. Prepare for huge battles fought at the gates of great metropoli.

● Thanks to the extra power provided by the hardware rendering, new graphical
effects are possible in Caesar III. You can now admire the beauty of your cities, as
moving cloud shadows dampen the light of Sol in a sweet afternoon.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 19

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

● Cart pusher calculations, especially for farms, have been updated to assess their
destination more frequently. In the original game, farms would often get “stuck” to
the first granary placed. This could result in the pusher ignoring a later granary
placed closer. Now, pushers will recalculate their destination and distances more
frequently and pick the closest one. If the granary is full, they will try the next best
option.

● Trading ships also have been enhanced to search for docks in a smarter way and
consider the new settings when choosing a dock.

● Aimed for developers and modders, an Asset Previewer UI is now available. It can
be started with the command “./augustus.exe --asset-previewer” from a shortcut or a
terminal window.

● Custom Empires ●

Caesar III Assignment Editor was shipped with 40 predefined Empire maps,
each with an Empire state more or less different (cities, borders, trade routes
and available resources, etc). Map creators had to choose one of them and
adapt their mission scenario consequently.

Augustus Assignment Editor now includes a feature allowing to precisely create a

Custom Empire that can be used in a mission scenario afterwards.
All Empire state parameters can be defined in one unique XML file, while Augustus
interface allows to visualize the created Empire Map in real time.

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

● Scenario Events ●

Augustus also adds new tools to Caesar III Assignment Editor: Scenario Events, Custom
Messages, and Scenario Intro, providing a whole new game experience through custom
missions.

Scenario events consist of actions that can be triggered when one or more conditions are
met, Custom messages allow to display messages and special events (with pictures!)
other than the ones hardcoded in the game, and finally, Scenario intros make it possible
to start a custom mission with a briefing message (with audio!).

https://github.com/Keriew/augustus/blob/master/res/manual/README_map_edit
or_scenario_events.md

With these new powerful tools, the great C3 community has crafted a complete rework
of the 20 maps of the vanilla campaign, made for Augustus, with custom events, special
objectives, a better historical accuracy, briefings narrated by an AI Caesar voice, and
more…

Caesar III Campaign Reconquered

https://caesar3.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=2098

To install, simply copy the 20 .svx files and the

“community” folder at the root of your C3 install
directory.
In the “Load game” dialog, choose “Reconquered - 01
Ostia.svx” to start the campaign, then play each file in
order. It is planned to integrate them in a custom
Campaign frontend in a future version of Augustus.

Note: Campaign Reconquered is meant to be played with “Global labor pool” enabled,
“Infinite wolves spawning” disabled, and “Maximum number of grand temples per
city” set to 5. If you’re totally new to C3, having cleared the vanilla campaign is
advised, but not mandatory, as Campaign Reconquered is more demanding in terms of
difficulty.

Monuments & Construction

Augustus allows, for the first time in Caesar III, monument building.

Construct mighty Grand Temple monuments, which offer powerful and unique
bonuses to make your cities larger and stronger than ever before. The Grand Temples
are dedicated to the five deities that players are familiar with. Two Grand Temples can
be built by default in a city, as well as the Pantheon which honors all of the gods.
A shining Lighthouse may also be erected in cities relying on the bounty of the sea or a
Caravanserai to promote land trading.
In order to be built, all monuments require a huge supply of raw materials – clay,
timber, marble, stone, concrete, and bricks. Procuring these resources is not enough
engineering expertise and labor must be secured to raise the walls. Placing the base of
the monument requires a large sum of denarii, but it can be placed without any
resources stockpiled. Once this base is placed, your citizens can get to work.

Oracles, Large temples, and several new buildings that require

resources for construction are now mini-monuments, which only
have a single construction phase, but also require a Work camp and

This structure is the Work camp. It requires 20 workers and

delivers the required resources to the monument construction site
from city Warehouses.
In order to get your monuments started, you must first place this
building and prepare warehouses to store the material for the
monument: marble, timber, clay, stone, and bricks (concrete can’t be stored, see Concrete
Maker). When the base of the monument is placed, right clicking on it will display the
required raw materials for its current phase to be completed. Remember, you do not
need to have the exact amount of resources on hand all at once!

When a monument requires a resource, for example 16 units of marble, the Work camp
will spawn a foreman. The foreman will walk to a Warehouse which has the materials
stored and will retrieve up to 4 of those resources. When he retrieves the resource,
haulers will appear behind him. The group will then walk from the Warehouse site to
the monument and unload their supplies. Once completed, a new walker will spawn
from the camp and the process will continue again until the phase has all of its
resources. You can place multiple Work camps, but remember they have very poor
desirability and require labor. It will not speed things up to place multiple Work camps
if resources are already being used as fast as they can be obtained.

This structure is the Architects’ guild. It requires 12 workers and

comes into play once a monument has received all the required
resources for a given construction phase. The guild will spawn an
architect once the Work camps have satisfied the current resource
needs of the monument. The architect will enter the base of the
monument and upgrade the monument to its next construction phase. The Work camp
returns to its cycle of gathering and delivering to the site. Upon all phases of a
monument being completed, the architect walker will arrive again at the monument,
finally bringing the monument to full operation.

When a grand temple is completed, your city will be greatly rewarded for its devotion
and skill! Completed monuments require many employees (20 to 150), financial upkeep
in the form of levies (c.f. further below) and road access. But the provided bonus and
the fact that all monuments and mini-monuments do not require maintenance, i.e. they
will never fall to fire or collapse, are worth the price and hard labor!

FAQ: Why do monuments take so long to be built? Can multiple Work Camps and
Architects' Guilds speed up the process?

All the building process is done by the walkers using the road network, and to
efficiently build monuments, this has to be taken into consideration.

A foreman from the work camp has to go to the warehouse and grab the resources, then
head to the monument site. If the work camps are far from the warehouses, or the
warehouses with necessary resources are far from the monument sites, the delivery
process can take a long time.

To speed it up, be sure that warehouses with construction materials are close, or build
multiple work camps to haul more materials at the same time.
Work camps don't necessarily have to be close to the monument, it's equally as efficient
if they are close to the resource warehouses.
A monument only needs a couple of visits from the Architect's guild, so they are usually
not a bottleneck, even if they are far away and multiple monuments are currently in
construction phases.

Religion, Blessings & Grand Temple Bonuses

Augustus adds various religious buildings to help please your citizens, but above all the
demanding gods, from a tiny contentment with Lararia to a bigger praise by building
Nymphaea and Mausolea mini-monuments.

Lararium:
This building is a shrine dedicated to the household spirits.
Effectively a 1x1 variation of the Oracle, it provides coverage
to all gods for 10 people (requires a road within 2 tiles).

Altar:
Works the same way as the Lararium, at the difference it
provides coverage only to the dedicated god for 50 people
(requires a road within 2 tiles). Can catch fire and collapse.

Nymphaeum:
This building is a temple dedicated to the water nymphs;
minor spirits of the seas, rivers and springs. It is effectively a
larger 3x3 variation of the Oracle, providing access to 750
people per god. Like the Oracle, the Nymphaeum requires
marble to build (4 loads) and no maintenance.

Mausoleum:
There are 2 variants of the Mausoleum: Small (2x2) (with a
rotation variant) and Large (3x3) (with a “Pyramid” variant).
Historically, the Romans were quite superstitious about the
burial of the dead, requiring mausolea to be built outside the
city limits.
To replicate this in Augustus, both mausolea emit negative
desirability within a close radius, but a large positive
desirability effect further away. They require marble to build
(2 loads for the Small Mausoleum and 4 loads for the Large
Mausoleum), provide access to 500 and 750 people per god
respectively, and can not fall to fire or collapse. Mausoleums
also slightly improve overall city health (see Health &
Sickness chapter below).

On another scale, the Grand temples are awe inspiring to your citizens and mightily
pleasing to the gods. They take time, money and sacrifice to complete, but once
operational, enable new features and bonuses. There are two types of divine powers
granted by Grand temples: when finally completed, a bonus is instantly bestowed upon
the province. To illustrate, let’s look at the Grand Temple of Mars:

Building the Grand Temple of Mars demonstrates your city’s iron will and martial
devotion. The temple itself will act as a second barracks, doubling recruitment speed,
and it unlocks 4 additional Forts for a grand total of 10.

But there is yet more divine power to be harnessed. At the bottom of the grand temple
window is a button to bestow an epithet onto the temple. Epithets are named aspects of
a particular deity and provide new and awesome powers when bestowed. Each Grand
temple will have two epithets to choose from-and once you choose, there’s no going
back except to demolish the temple and build anew. So the choice should be made
wisely!

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 26

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

The Grand Temple of Mars can be devoted to one of two aspects of Mars, becoming the
Temple of Mars Ultor or the Temple of Mars Quirinus. Each option is explained in this
display to aid in this difficult choice. Bestowing an epithet costs 1000 dn to procure the
appropriate sacrifices and rituals. Powers granted by epithets are not applied city-wide:
they instead grant new powers to all priest walkers and temples of that god or
goddess.

If the epithet of Mars Quirinus (10% reduced consumption of goods) is bestowed, the
governor must ensure they place small or large Temples of Mars in their housing blocks
- only houses served by priests of Mars will gain this benefit. The Grand temple
appearance will change when you bestow an epithet and once again, be warned, the
choice is permanent! So unless you do not mind destroying your hard work and having
to rebuild it from scratch, choose carefully, Governor.

Here is the full list of the grand temples and their respective bonuses. Use this list to
help select your glorious construction projects. Remember: only two grand temples are
allowed by default, as well as the Pantheon.

Ceres:
Provides cart pushers from farms with a 50% speed boost.
● Ceres Fecunda: Priests reduce food consumption by 20% in homes with Ceres
access.
● Ceres Frugifera: Temples of Ceres act as markets, collecting and distributing a
single locally-produced food type as well as olive oil.

Mars:
Allows commissioning of 4 additional forts and acts as a second barracks.
● Mars Ultor: Priests of Mars will generate food as they pass houses. When their
temple has sufficient stock, it will be delivered to the Supply post for your
soldiers to eat. This food is generated, not removed from house stocks. Houses
can only generate food in this way once per month - redundant temples will not
increase food. Fort levies are reduced by 25%.
● Mars Quirinus: Priests reduce goods consumption by 10% in houses with Mars
access.

Mercury:
Provides traders, both land and sea, with 50% additional capacity. Land traders and
Native traders get a 25% speed bonus. This will allow increased trade throughout,
especially on huge maps.
● Mercurius Fortunus: Priests reduce pottery and furniture consumption by 20%
in homes with Mercury access.
● Mercurius Mercator: Priests reduce oil and wine consumption by 20% in homes
with Mercury access.

Venus:
Provides a sizable desirability range and power increase for statues, gardens, and
temples. You will need fewer of these to evolve your housing. Houses also stockpile
more goods, and take longer to devolve when goods and services are interrupted.
● Venus Verticordia: Priests collect and distribute wine produced and stored in
the Grand Temple. Vines are not required. The wine counts as a “second type”
for housing evolution purposes. The production rate of wine at the Grand
Temple scales based on population with Venus access. Up to 16 units of wine
may be stored at the Grand temple.
● Venus Genetrix: Priests of Venus provide 10 entertainment points and greatly
boost the desirability effect of the houses themselves, increasing the appeal of
the neighborhood without requiring additional desirability boosters.

Neptune:
Grants +1 range for fountains and wells and +2 for reservoirs. Water services labor is
reduced by 50%. Trading ships travel 25% faster. Sickness increase in houses is greatly
hindered.
● Neptunus Equester: Temples of Neptune produce charioteers that will travel to
the hippodrome, granting hippodrome access to all passed houses.
● Neptunus Adiutor: Priests increase the population capacity of houses with
Neptune access by 5% and allow the Grand Temple itself to act as a filled
reservoir, regardless of proximity to water.

Pantheon:
Provides population and priest walker coverage to all five gods. Reduces the levy fees
for all religious buildings by 25% and holds free annual small festivals. While all the
gods are happy enough, the events "Contaminated water", "Iron mine collapsed" and
"Flooded clay pit" will not happen.
● Pantheum Ara Maxima: All small and large temples send destination walker
priests to the Pantheon. These priests carry all their bonuses and powers with
them, and will greatly spread the blessings of the gods across your city!
● Pantheum Roma Aeterna: Homes covered directly by priests of the Pantheon
can evolve one additional step beyond what they can currently achieve.

We also have made some changes to the blessing system as part of our religion rework.
Augustus aims to allow governors to gain blessings in a logical way and remove the
strategy of alternating exalting and enraging gods for blessings. Appeased gods will
gain “sun” symbols at a slightly randomized rate and may grant a blessing when five
suns are achieved.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 29

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

Note: In the Large temple column, Mars and oracles have a black colored numeral. This
means one of the two Mars temples is a Grand Temple, and one of the “large oracles” is
the Pantheon. Small Mausoleum, Large Mausoleum and Nymphaeum, also count
respectively as small and large oracles. Lararia count as oracles in the Altars column.

The Augustus team feels some of the original blessings from Caesar III are unbalanced
or even outright useless or detrimental, and these have been tweaked. Major and minor
curses are unchanged. Here are the altered blessings:
Neptune – Trade income is increased by 50% for 12 months (instead of 100% until next
December).
Mercury – industries receive 2 raw material units and immediately finish production
(instead of cramming unwanted food types into granaries).
Venus – Reduces the age of your citizens older than 25 by 3 years and increases the size
of the city labor pool, as well as providing the original sentiment boost.

About random event frequency:

The time before the same random event can happen again (e.g. “Sea/Land trade
problems”, “Contaminated water”, “Iron mine collapse”, “Clay pits flooded”) is now
based on difficulty levels:
Very easy Easy Normal Hard Very hard
36 months 30 months 24 months 18 months 12 months

The "Rome changes wages" event can only happen every 12 months, regardless of the
difficulty level.
If a Pantheon is active and all gods are happy, the events “Contaminated water”, “Iron
mine collapsed” and “Clay pit flooded” will not happen anymore!

Trade Policies & Building Levies

Augustus also provides new options for trade, called trade policies. These are set via
two different monuments: the Caravanserai enables land trade policies, while the
Lighthouse enables sea trade policies, and each of them also have original benefits.

This monument is the Lighthouse. It must be placed within 8-9 tiles of

water and follows the same monument construction process as grand
temples. It will need timber, stone, and bricks, as well as a work camp
and an architects’ guild to be built. Once erected, fishing boats move
10% faster and sea storm trade disruptions are halved in length. A
supply of timber (40 per month) is required to light the flame above
your marvelous city! Inadequate supply will lapse the enacted policy.

This monument is a Caravanserai. As a monument, it will

need timber, stone, and bricks, as well as a work camp and
an architects’ guild, to be built. Once the caravanserai is
established, land trade disruptions last half as long, but it
will need a continuous supply of food for the caravans (30
food units per month and per land trade route opened). If you do not supply adequate
food or labor, your trade policy will lapse.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 31

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

In order to select a policy, first build the corresponding structure. The policies available
are the same for both sea and land trade. As governor, you decide which policy is best
suited for your current situation. You may change the policy at any time, but it will cost
500 denarii each time you change the policy.

These policies can provide new economic options to players

in both early and late stages of city development. Choose
wisely!

● Building Levies ●

If all these monuments have a price to build, they also have a price to maintain.
Therefore, Augustus implements an economic change as levies. Levies are a fixed
monthly cost accrued by certain buildings and are applied to monuments, military and

religious structures. Default values are in effect on Hard and Very Hard difficulty.

Levies are shown in the building info panel and in the new Levies overlay. The total

significantly affect city finances, especially when monuments are completed. This is a
trade off for the incredible power they provide. Ensure your treasury is prepared!

Culture Rating

New Cultural Upgrades:

Caesar III’s concept of “Culture Rating” required the player to

balance the venue capacity of certain structures against the total
population of the city. This inevitably led to a situation players
called “culture dumps”; or excessive placement of structures like
Schools, Libraries, Theaters, and Academies, often in the very last
days of a mission. To provide an alternative, we have implemented
structural upgrades similar to how Bathhouses, Markets,
Fountains, and Senate work.

Theater, School, Library, and Academy now have a new upgrade

state tied to desirability. When the sufficient desirability level is
achieved, the structure will visually change - in addition, it will also
increase the venue capacity of the structure for the purpose of
calculating Culture rating. To save labor and space, you should
strive to place these cultural structures in areas with high
desirability.

Base Upgraded Required Area

coverage coverage Desirability

Theater 500 1200 > 45

School 75 225 > 40

Library 800 1700 > 50

Academy 100 150 >= 60

Monument Points and Rating:

As another alternative to excessive placement, each completed monument now
provides +6 points toward your Culture rating. You can achieve a maximum of 36
points from completing the Pantheon, two Grand Temples, a Lighthouse, the
Colosseum (which has been turned into a monument and only allows for the
construction of one), and the Hippodrome (also now a monument).

Entertainment Additions

Caesar III has a somewhat obscure mechanic of “global” entertainment points.

When a walker from a Theater passes homes, the walker will provide
entertainment points. This is clear to the player. However, if Theaters had
“Perfect” coverage of the entire city population, based on their “venue capacity”, then
every home would be awarded an additional 5 points of entertainment. This applied to
Theaters, Amphitheaters, and Colosseums, as well as the Hippodrome, these last two
providing this global bonus by default.

Augustus has removed this mechanic for all but the Colosseum and Hippodrome.
Now, getting “Perfect” Amphitheater coverage, for example, will no longer grant 5
extra points universally. This was done to allow more “space” for new entertainment
buildings and bonii, as well as further reduce incentives to place redundant buildings.

Entertainment has then received several new buildings and features. The Theater and
Amphitheater remain untouched. The Colosseum and Hippodrome become
monuments: they each grant +5 entertainment points universally when achieved, in
addition to their local access bonus (15 pts for one show or 25 pts for two shows for
Colosseum, 30 pts for Hippodrome). Considering this, we felt it fair to add some new
non-monumental entertainment options.

The Colosseum was often required to achieve patrician Villa housing.

As that structure is now a massive monument project, we
introduce to you the Arena and Tavern.

The Arena is a 3x3 building that essentially takes the place of

the vanilla Colosseum. It costs 500dn and provides 10
entertainment points with either gladiator or lion access, and
20 with both. Note: a house having access to both Arena and
Colosseum will only benefit from the Colosseum points.

The Tavern is a local gathering place, intended to be placed in

housing blocks, emitting a small negative desirability within a close
radius, but slightly positive further away. A 2x2 building, it consumes
wine and meat/fish to provide entertainment points. If only wine is
provided then 10 points are provided by the tavern walker. If both wine and meat or
fish are provided, the walker provides 15 points.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 35

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

The tavern has special instructions to help manage which resource you want to
distribute like markets. The tavern does not provide food or wine to housing like a
market.

The Tavern also comes complete with a new walker who is responsible for
fetching wine from warehouses and meat from granaries, so it will not place
extra strain on your warehousemen. This building is a great use for wine in a
city that has yet to attract patricians!

Colosseum Games:

In Augustus, the Colosseum has become a monument and the heart of your city,
allowing you to host Great Games. These require stored resources and some of your
personal funds to host*. As governor, you may schedule games for your citizens,
however your rank must be taken into consideration too. A low ranking governor
cannot afford frequent games compared to a high ranking one - so choose wisely!

*Note: Games graphics display for 3 months. Bonuses are applied once the games begin.
Required resources and funds scale with city size, akin to Grand Festival wine
requirement.

Military Additions

The Supply post is a new building for military logistics. It

collects food for your soldiers, and will need to be kept in
good supply to maintain morale. A Supply post will send
out a quartermaster to a Granary and collect food, similar
to a market. The Granary now has an additional checkbox
to allow or deny quartermasters from collecting from that
Granary. When the Quartermaster collects food from a
Granary, camp-servants will carry food back to the Supply post. Food is stored in the
Supply post and each month, food will be consumed based on the number of soldiers
and difficulty setting. At Hard and Very Hard, each soldier consumes respectively 4
and 5 units of food per month. Food shortages at the supply post will quickly damage
morale. For a smooth operation, place the Supply post close to well-stocked granaries.
Your soldiers will consume all types of food-providing two or three types of food
increases maximum morale beyond the limits of the base game.
The military academy has been made slightly less effective to compensate. Supply posts
also have special order options.

Watchtowers are a new, cheaper alternative to stone towers.

Watchtowers do not need weapons to function, but they do need a
barracks. They also don’t require coverage by prefects and engineers.
They come equipped with an archer inside the tower, spawn 2
sentries on foot patrol, and employ 8 citizens. The watchtower is
handy for protection from early raiders
and wolves, or as a first line of defense while your armies
gather for battle. They can also be placed within the city if
you so desire, as they can fight criminals or rioting
gladiators.

Palisades:
Palisade walls are now available as a cheaper
but weaker alternative to stone walls, and come
with a gate that functions like a roadblock.

Sentiment & Crime

Sentiment and Mood in vanilla Caesar III is very basic. Players quickly understand that
if they kept wages high and taxed moderately, there would be no issues. In Augustus,
we sought to enhance this system. In this first iteration, we have included a complete
rework of crime, and implemented new sentiment factors. This is a work in progress
and a strong candidate for further enhancement.

Each house has a sentiment level (SL) which can go from 0 to 100. Base sentiment (BS)
in the city depends on the difficulty:
Very Easy Easy Normal Hard Very Hard
80 75 70 65 60

● The first house built starts with a SL equal to BS+10. For example, in Normal
difficulty, this house will have a SL of 70 + 10 = 80 points.
● Each month and in each house, SL varies by -2 or +2 points max, based on different
factors modifying citizens’ sentiment, as we’ll see below.
● The average of all SL in all houses gives the city sentiment (CS), which applies to
any new house built. For example, if the SL average has dropped to 60 in the city (i.e.
CS=60), any new house built will start with a SL of 60 + 10 = 70 points.

● Sentiment Factors and Variation ●

Factors modifying houses’ sentiment level are:

● Tax rate, Wages, Unemployment, Housing inequalities, Food, Entertainment, and
Desirability.

These factors are calculated each month for each house. Their sum gives the sentiment
variation (SV) which will be applied progressively (-2 or +2 per month) to the
sentiment level of each house.

For example, a house has a SL of 70, but suffers a SV of -10 points (i.e. the sum of the
sentiment factors is equal to -10). Sentiment in this house will decrease by -2 points per
month until its SL stabilizes at 60 points (70-10).

The governor decides to improve this house's daily life, and +24 pts are added to the
sentiment factors: its new SV will be +14 (-10+24), and the house SL will increase by +2
points per month until stabilizing to 74 points (60+14).

● Sentiment Factors Details ●

■ Tax rate
The following table shows neutral tax rates for each difficulty.

Very Easy Easy Normal Hard Very Hard

10% 9% 8% 7% 6%

● A tax rate greater than the neutral rate causes a negative sentiment factor. The more
the governor taxes his citizens above the neutral rate, the more the factor will be
negative.
● A tax rate lower than the neutral rate causes a positive sentiment factor. The more
the governor taxes his citizens below the neutral rate, the more the factor will be
positive.
● Houses not visited by tax collectors get half the sentiment bonus for a 0% tax rate,
regardless of the current tax rate set by the governor.
As you can see, the neutral rate in Very Hard is 6%, i.e. 1% less than the default tax rate
in Caesar III (7%)!

■ Wages
Citizens in your city compare their wages to those paid by Rome.
● For each denarius paid above Rome, the sentiment factor is +2.
● For each denarius paid below Rome, the sentiment factor is -3.
For example, Rome pays 30 denarii, and the ungenerous city governor pays 27 denarii.
Each house will suffer a sentiment factor of -9.
● Wages do not affect the SL of patricians (Small villa and above).

■ Unemployment
Unemployment is a problem for everyone, especially the governor: any good Roman
citizen doesn’t like to see unemployed people wandering in the streets, whereas these
people would obviously like to find a job.
● For each unemployment percentage after 5%, the sentiment factor is -1.
For example, if the unemployment in the city is 10%, each house will suffer a sentiment
factor of -5.
● Unemployment does not affect the SL of patricians (Small villa and above).

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 40

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

■ Housing inequalities
An important consideration in city management is housing inequality and overall
citizen wealth. Each home will assess itself against the average housing level of the city.
It is calculated by checking each house level and multiplying it by its population.
● For a given house, the greater the difference is with the average housing level, the
more the sentiment factor is negative.
● The poorer the house is, the greater the unhappiness will be: Tents (x3), Small Shack
to Small casa (x2), Large Casa to Grand Insulae (x1).
For example, if the average housing level in the city is “Large Casa”, a Tent will have a
greater negative sentiment factor than a Small Casa, and the Tent’s negative sentiment
factor will be multiplied by 3.
On the other hand, plebeians living on Grand Insulae and patricians love their housing
conditions so much that they won’t resent higher housing types.

● Note on overall wealth: as the city grows, your citizens

will expect a better and better base housing level , as it is
common in the greatest Roman cities. It is even said that in
the largest cities, the Small Insulae is expected as the base
housing level by your citizens, even if the actual average
housing level in the city is inferior.

In short, residents of Small Casa and below, particularly of

Tents, might start to resent their modest homes when palaces go up next door -
however, they can be mollified by providing additional entertainment, food, and
desirability.

■ Food:
The governor can improve citizens’ sentiment by providing multiple types of
food. For each food type beyond what is required at a housing level,
sentiment factor is +12 (capped to +24).
For example, a Small casa with only 1 food type doesn’t get any bonus. Tents still cannot
stock food and will receive no such benefit.

■ Entertainment::
Offering extra entertainment will increase happiness as it distracts citizens
from the daily grind. For each entertainment point above the requirement for
a housing level, sentiment factor is +1 (capped to +24).
As described in “Entertainment Additions”chapter, Augustus has included numerous
new forms of entertainment to please you citizens!
Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 41
 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

■ Desirability:
Finally, desirable neighborhoods will also increase the mood of the citizens. The
better housing they live in, the more positively affected they are by extra
desirability. For each positive desirability point granted to a house,
sentiment factor is +0.5, but capped to the corresponding housing level. For example,
a Tent won’t benefit so much from this sentiment factor (only 1 positive sentiment
point max), whereas a Luxury palace can benefit from a sentiment factor of +20.
Negative desirability doesn’t affect sentiment.
Note: in Augustus, houses built on a coast or on city’s elevated terrains, have a
desirability boost!

Sentiment at a glance:
● The sentiment is calculated per individual house.
● A house gets a sentiment increase if it acquires more food (except for Tents),
entertainment, and desirability than it requires.
● There is now a sentiment penalty if the house (Large Insulae or lower) is below the
average housing level.
● This penalty is harsher if the housing tile is Small casa or lower, and especially
punishing for Tents - however , mitigating factors can reduce this as explained above.
● If citizens are living below what they perceive as fair living conditions in the biggest
cities, sentiment issues can arise, including crime, even if the governor thought to
please them. This could make a slum on the outskirts of an opulent city quite a
tinderbox!
● Adding decorations and ornaments next to Tents will not make the dwellers much
happier, patricians will love you even more if you provide them with particularly
pleasing surroundings.
● The key to a happy citizen is food, employment, entertainment, and local
desirability. If you can manage to keep unemployment down, and not excessively
tax your citizens, you are already at a good starting point. Augustus has made it
more difficult (on higher difficulty) to tax beyond 12%, so the days of 25% tax and +8
wages are over on Very Hard.
● Lastly - you can right click any house to see current sentiment and resident’s main
complaints.

● Crime: Looting, Stealing, and Prefects ●

The crime walkers use the protester walker graphic. Crime walkers spawn
from housing tiles which have a sentiment level lower than 50. Once
sentiment reaches this low, the type and number of crime walkers spawning
are defined according to the house with the lowest SL in the city and some
other conditions:

● If the SL is [45~49], 1 protester spawns, only expressing his anger to the governor.
● If the SL is [30~44], 1 robber spawns, seeking to steal funds in a forum or the Senate.
● If the SL is [20~29], 1 looter spawns, seeking to steal finished goods or food from
warehouses/granaries.
● If the SL is [15~19], 2 looters spawn.
● If the SL is below 15:
➔ If at least 5% of all the housing in the city has an SL lower than 25, up to 20
rioters (who burn buildings on their path), 20 looters and 20 robbers can spawn,
depending on the actual amount of population with sentiment lower than 25.
➔ If the 1st condition is not met, 3 looters and 3 robbers spawn.

The house from which criminals have spawned receives a sentiment bonus of +5, at
once (i.e. not added to its monthly sentiment variation or SV explained earlier), to
simulate that the anger of the residents has been temporarily released.

However, the spawn rate of criminals is weighted by the city sentiment (CS explained
earlier). The percentage chance of a criminal spawning decreases the higher the CS
value. For example, if 3 Small Tents have a very abysmal sentiment, but all other houses
in the city have a sentiment in excellent shape, riot plans won’t find much echo, and
almost no crime will be committed (min. chance is 5%).

Otherwise, prefects can reduce the criminal occurrences if they intercept the
crime walker along its walk. Crime walkers are essentially destination
walkers (if they seek to steal goods or food from warehouses/granaries) and
may sometimes walk off road to their intended target. Prefects in range will
give chase, and will speed up to try and catch the criminal.
Once the prefect catches the criminal, there is no chance for him to escape and he will be
cut down! It is wise to place prefects near storage sites if you have a high crime area.

Health & Sickness

Health management was one of the lacking features in Caesar III. Having access to a
single clinic was enough for a house to get a 100 health rating. Bathhouses, barbers,
and hospitals were only needed to evolve houses to greater ranks. For a better balance,
Augustus implements a whole new health calculation, and adds a new threat for your
city: sickness.

■ What’s the House Health Rating (HHR) ?

Each house has a health rating, which can go from 0 to 100. This value increases
according the several factors:

Each house rank Clinic access Bathhouse access Barber access Hospital access

+1, up to +10 +30 +20 +10 +40

Small
Clinic + Hospital Large Mausoleum Each variety of food eaten
Mausoleum
Access effect area (including the base one)
effect area

+50 +1 (Small), +2 (Large), capped to +10 +15 per food type

If the sum is higher than 100, it’s capped at 100. If the house type requires food and it
doesn’t have food, its health is capped at 40.
For example, Large Casa base Health Rating is:
(rank +4) + (clinic +30) + (baths +20) + (1 food +15) = 69

■ What’s the City Health Rating (CHR) ?

The House's Health Rating is then used as a percentage of the total population of the
house, where the number of healthy residents is obtained.
In our Large Casa example, there are 53 healthy residents (76 residents x 0.69)

When all the houses are calculated, the final health value is the percentage between all
healthy residents and total city population. This global percentage is used to set the
City Health Rating in the Health Advisor panel.

● Let’s say our city has ~2500 population, with 12 Large Insulae, 18 Large Casa and 4
Tents, each with a respective base HHR of 81, 69, and 31.
● There are 828 healthy residents in Large Insulae, 954 in Large Casas, and 28 in Tents.
It gives a total of 74% of the city population being healthy (CHR = 74).

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 45

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

● Each text line in the Health advisor panel is linked to a CHR percentage. In our
example, 74% is equivalent to “City Health is very good, local clinics are coping well”.

A report about the sickness level in the city is also provided, as well as how many
residents have access to each type of health facilities. Careful though, a very good CHR
doesn’t mean that sickness can’t grow in houses having a low health rating, as we will
see below.

■ How does Sickness enter the city?

Historically, if trade merchants brought valuable goods to Roman cities, they could also
introduce what was considered an unknown and invisible threat back in the days:
viruses and pathogen agents. Augustus simulates that by adding a new sickness value
to docks, warehouses, granaries, and houses.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 46

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

When trading with merchant

caravans or ships, the more goods
are traded (sold and bought), the
more sickness increases in the
trade building. For example,
buying 12 goods and selling 8 in a
dock, will increase its sickness
value to 20 (+1 per good traded).

■ How does Sickness spread in the city?

Dockers, warehousemen, and
cart pushers originating from an
infected trade building (docks,
warehouses, granaries) spread
sickness to buildings they
deliver to and have a 1/6 chance
to contaminate houses they pass
by. Any other cart pusher (e.g. from farms or workshops) can also be infected and
spread sickness if they visit an infected trade building too, but their resource and
production buildings are excluded from possible contamination.
Only docks, warehouses, granaries, and houses, can have a sickness value.

● In granaries and warehouses, sickness will increase every time an infected cart pusher
visits it, depending on the actual sickness value of the delivered building. Therefore,
even if these warehouses and granaries are not visited by traders, city’s infected cart
pushers have a chance to spread sickness to them!

● In houses, sickness will not increase at first. However, each time an infected cart
pusher walks near a house, there’s a possibility that the residents will be
contaminated.
● All infected buildings and cart pushers in the city can be seen on the new
"Sickness" overlay.

■ How does Sickness increase in houses?

If an infected cart pusher contaminates a house, the house’s sickness value will increase
each month, depending on the house health rating (HHR we saw earlier) and the city’s
total population. The lower the health value is in a house, the more sickness will
increase each month, and the higher is the city’s total population, the bigger is the base
sickness increase in houses.
Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 47
 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

For example, let’s take again our Large Casa with a base HHR of 69 in a 2500
population city. We’re lucky! Even if it is contaminated, the sickness won’t grow (+0)
because its base HHR (60~69) is good enough in a 2500 population city.
Check by yourself in the 3rd column of the table below:

Do you remember our 4 Tents with a base HHR of 31? They are not so lucky, because if
contaminated, the sickness will increase at a base of +6 per month.

■ So… How to fight Sickness in houses and trade buildings?

Luckily, sickness is not a fatality,
and your city can defend itself.
Each new month, sickness in
buildings will decrease based on
the city health rating displayed
in the Health advisor panel
(CHR we saw earlier).

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 48

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

● The better the CHR, the more sickness will decrease in trade buildings.
Let’s take again our CHR of 74 and our dock with 20 sickness. On the 1st day of the
month, city healthcare will be provided and sickness in the dock will be decreased to 5!
(20 - 74%)

● In houses, the better the HHR is, the more efficient the city’s healthcare will be.
The residents of the contaminated Tent also benefit from the city’s healthcare, but with a
malus as they already live in miserable conditions.

Check again the 3rd column of the table above: they won’t suffer a raw +6 sickness per
month, but +6 minored by the CHR with a malus of 30%. Instead of -74%, the
healthcare provided will be only -52%, and the sickness increase will be finally +3 per
month. Eventually, this Tent will finish being plagued if the residents do not get better
life conditions or better healthcare, as we’ll see further below.

This table also shows that as the city’s population increases, you must provide better
overall living conditions and healthcare to prevent sickness from spiraling out of control
if some houses get contaminated!

● Having a good hospital coverage grants a healthcare bonus

each month (the better the overall coverage, the greater is the
bonus, up to +25% applied to the CHR), which can be very
useful in densely populated cities. Even if our tent does not
have access itself to the hospital, but the hospital coverage is
“above average” in the city (+15%), our tent will have a raw
-86% healthcare provided! (61% after malus)
● If the city holds an active Neptune Grand Temple, the
monthly sickness increase in any house will be reduced by 5. For
example, our Tent would only suffer a base sickness of +1
before any healthcare is even applied!

Finally, if the sickness is decreased to 0 in any building after the healthcare has been
applied, sickness won’t grow anymore unless a trader visits it again (trade buildings)
or an infected cart pusher walks near it again (houses).

■ What happens when healthcare is insufficient?

If the sickness value reaches the value of 200 in a trade building and 100 in a house, the
building is plagued.

Dec. 2023 The Project Augustus Team 49

 Project Augustus: Version 4.0 User Guide

● When a trading building is plagued, its employees are temporarily removed and the
building stops working. The nearest doctor or surgeon is sent automatically to
fumigate the building for a few days. Once cured, the building gets back its employees
and starts working again.
● If a warehouse is plagued, it loses 100% of the stored food and 50% of oil and wine
stored goods.
● If a granary is plagued, it loses 50% of the stored food.

● 2-Tier Plague:
If a house is plagued, the outcome depends on the city health rating (CHR).
● If it is too low (equal or inferior to 40), the house is burned down and all its residents
die.
● If it is high enough, the house survives but becomes quarantined, preventing
immigrants from settling on it. Some citizens will still die, the exact number
depending on how high your CHR is. The nearest doctor or surgeon is sent
automatically to fumigate the house for a few days, then immigrants can move in again.

Decorations & Ornaments

With the power to add new buildings to Caesar III for the first time ever, we wanted to
increase the visual variety and options for aesthetic and desirability-boosting buildings.
Peruse the new Parks, Paths, and Trees submenus in the Government/Admin build
menu. All the new aesthetic buildings use the statistics for small statues, medium
statues or large statues, whichever matches their size. The build menus have been
rearranged a bit to facilitate these new options – find gardens (now with Formal
gardens and Overgrown Gardens) and plazas in the Government/Admin menu instead
of the Engineering menu. Paths can also be rotated via the Rotate hotkey (by default,
“R”). Names of decoration/ornament buildings are now displayed on top of the screen
to facilitate the navigation through variants via the rotation key (only if warnings are
switched on under Help).

Garden Walls, Hedges, and Garden Gates:

A new decorative addition, Garden Walls or Hedges become
gates when built over roads. These gates act as a roadblock,
complete with walker permission settings.

Paths, Parks and Trees are buildings, not terrain. They cannot be travelled over by
walkers (except Garden gates). They are, however, click and draggable – like gardens
and plazas – for easy placement. Think of them as small statues, not as alternate paths
for walkers. We hope to achieve new terrain types in a future version of Augustus, as
well as add many more ornamental options.
