Current Events > What games are close to Caesar III?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just got a new PC. It's my first gaming PC. I basically got it because I want to play BG3 on it. However, since I now try out PC gaming againg, I want to explore more of my nostalgic memories. One of my favorites growing up is Caesar 3. It's still amazing, I love it! I wonder if that genre of games have also evolved?

I have set Pharaoh A New Era on the wish list. It looks to be an updated version. I have also checked out the remakes of older Settler games, and I like them, but I think I miss the settlements evovle-aspects that is in Caesar.

Anyone got any good suggestions for me? ^_^

Never played Caesar 3, but Pharaoh is awesome. The remaster is basically a graphical update which retains the original art style and all the original obnoxious city planning idiosyncrasies.

I tried Children of the Nile for a little bit, it gives similar vibes but is a little simpler I think.

You might like the Anno series, though it has a bigger emphasis on managing supply chains to advance. In some games it's not so bad but the latest (and best one) kicks my ass hard.

The Tropico series is fun too. Only stick to the even number games though. 2 is dated but works well on modern systems and has a totally different setting and gameplay focus - you're a pirate king on a pirate island and you have to build your settlements around the concept of keeping your servant labor scared and compliant while at the same time making your pirates feel free and rowdy and wild

Civilization is what u want.

There are tons of similar-ish games that have been really popular also:

-Factorio
-Dwarf Fortress
-Prison Keeper
-Oxygen Not Included

Also not *city-building*, but if you liked those old school management games like Theme Hospital and Rollercoaster Tycoon you should check out Two Point Hospital, Two Point Campus, Parkitect and Megaquarium.

Along those lines I recommend Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo

Absolute bangers of games and the best in the genre for sure. They don't hit that nostalgia note for me though
