Julius
- Supports Windows, MacOS X and Linux
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 a widescreen support. The saved games from the original game are compatible with this software.
