December 7th - Caesar Shares
Power! True Democracy in Senate!
Things have been getting quite busy at Caesar III
Heaven and I've been having trouble keeping up. To make sure the Senate and all the
sections remain up to date I have decided that going it alone as Seraph of this site is a
bit lonely and way too busy. Accordingly, I have asked our Draco and Reckless Rodent to
share the stuff of power with me! As of now we be the Seraphim Trinity! Hail Seraph Draco, Hail Seraph
Reckless Rodent! May you rule
wisely and justly within the Triumvirate.
Another
CIII Dream Team member that has been deserving of promotion for some time now is Angel JB! Also consider yourself
hailed. And just to show you that this is no slacker and well appointed, he has redone the
Units Section and has even put up a splendid new units logo. In tow with JB is a new
fellow: all hail Cherub DK! Welcome to our humble senate. DK has helped JB in the past
with the units and he will continue to do this and other tasks. Expect more announcements
on other shifts of power within the Senate...should I be watching my back? :-)
An
Angel as steady as waves on the oceans has once again updated the scenarios and cities
subsection in the Downloads. I do believe that some celebrities have sent in their
scenarios!
Do you have games you no longer play and that are
just taking up space? Why not send them to the children at the Ronald McDonald House? They
would appreciate any contribution you could make, no matter how small. For more details,
please point your browser to Games of
Encouragement Initiative. Thank you.
Check
out the news on Sunday evening and find out how the balance of power has shifted within
the site.
Also
there is a cool new CIII review right over here. The Doc over at
Warzone tells us exactly why he thinks it deserves that 4.5 stars out of five.
The Stefanator strikes again.
Seems that some of you had some problems cheating and she is here with her words of
guidance:
"The Money cheat only works if city funds are less than 5000.
This applies to any game map. The Victory cheat only works in the career levels or
map-created scenarios. There are no "winning conditions" with the standard CCK
maps, so naturally
there is no promotion/victory.
I
have tried both without a problem on each type of map. I did find it easier to hold down
both keys(e.g. ALT K) until your PC speaker squawks at you :-) . It should only take a
second or two before the computer cries for mercy."
Thanks
for taking the trouble to play test this Cherub Stef and for explaining it so
clearly.
Need
some more scenarios to try to get the hang of those cheats? Well, a whole boatload just
arrived, so balista slam over to the Downloads where 8 new scenarios are being served up
hot. Thanks Spiney!
Last
but not least, here's another
CIII review for you. Thanks to Ominvacster's keen eyes for spotting this one!
Cherub Stef speaks and has this to say:
"Cherub
JB has an
excellent section on CIII Heaven called the Gallery.
As you can see, there are some cool screen shots of various moments in CIII on display
there. You may also notice that the Gallery is kind of small... . So why not send in a few
"CIII moments" of your own to share?
The idea is to show off some
of the best shots of your city. Whether it is a military formation, an interesting attack,
something unusual, awesome or just plain crazy, take a screen shot and email it to Cherub JB.
To take a screen shot during
game play:
1) press the "PrintScreen" key combination on the keyboard.
2) Use ALT-TAB to go back to Windows(or exit CIII instead)
3) Open up your paint program(e.g. MS paint, Paint Shop Pro, etc)
4) In the paint program, go to EDIT, then PASTE.
5) Save the image and send it in!
To make life easier for JB,
perhaps crop the specific piece of the image and send it in jpg format, if possible. This
cuts down on the file size and makes it easier for JB to see the exact part of the image
you wanted to share. :)"
Good idea there Stefster!
Please also feel free to add your comments to the screen shots so that we will have a
clear idea of what to focus on in each shot. This is your chance to get your city and your
name in lights at the Caesar III Heaven site.
December 2nd/5 pm - Caesar at the
Zoo and Pest Control!
Aww, look it's one of those

The Gamers Net has an
interesting review of Caesar III for you. Although there is mainly praise: "Despite a few problems, C3 is one of the best SimCity-like
games released in months, utilizing innovative game design to create a very enjoyable game
experience."
the game is given a 3 out of 5. I'm sure that if the reviewer would have been more
inclined towards the genre and a little more involved in the mechanics of the game it
would have scored higher. Well, don't let me spout my opinion, check it out for yourself here.
Aren't you forum visitors just
wonderful. Denied access for half a day due to technical difficulties you all flooded back
in and started to stuff those folders like never before. The CIII Team thanks you all for
your patronage and understanding.
Our Saviour Angel Mack has
flown to our rescue and, after several hours of technosleuthing, has uncloaked our beloved
forums. Technical term for the glitch: "one of our files got whacked." Well,
here's a WHACK right back at whatever or whoever did that.
There is one other problem.
The dates have been reset by the system and there is not much we can do about that.
However, if you find the title of the thread you were posting in, and continue to post, it
will automatically be reset to the correct date. Please accept our apologies for this
glitch.
Seems
like we are having our unfair share of technical problems again. This time it's the
forums. Although you can access the forums' main page, the individual forums do not
display their posts. The posts are all safe and sound...they just don't display. We regret
the inconvenience and we are doing all we can to correct this asap.
