June 28th - The Rodent's back in town!
Yup, it's bad news for
everyone who liked their news in the straight, matter-of-fact way that Angel Jayhawk
presented it. Now you're going to have to put up with little old me, yakking off
about God knows what every day. Never mind though, Angel Jayhawk is just taking a
break from news here in Rome for a week, and has moved over to Egypt.
Here's the new news system:
Angel
Jayhawk and I will alternate on
Caesar III Heaven and Pharaoh Heaven, 1 week I'll be here and he'll be there, and the next
week I'll be there and he'll be here. As for our other news editor, Angel Alexander I, he's returned to his
spiritual home at http://www.heavengames.com.
Well worth a look (and let me know if he gets out of line <grin>).
Right, now for some news of what's
happening in Rome at the moment. In the Community
forum, a new society has emerged, hoping to deal with all those problems caused by
those pesky kids (sounds like something out of Scooby Doo) who should provide school
access to your housing. So, why not check out Romans
Against Truancy and make this Empire a better place?
As at least one
of you noticed (and reminded me!), I've been making time move even faster than it normally
does. I'll stop. So let's get on with the news.
For help with the career games the Game
Help forum is still the place to be. Now this might be a superfluous message as it's
alive as always with questions and answers.
And, another well known fact, if you want
to get a way from the game, but not too far away, browse over to the Community
forum for some light entertainment.
June 26th — GameStats Presents

Homegrown News.
The Scenario
Design forum has an interesting thread going on with a wish list for the C3 Map
Editor. For those of you that have some wishes, the thread can be found here.
— The computer's
alive..., with the Sound of AoE Music.... Angel Jayhawk
June 25th — The Second Little
Piggy Built a House of Wood
The Game
Help forum is still tangled up in various discussions about housing blocks. There more
than enough information here to fill a few books...Life,
Liberty and the Pursuit of the Caesar 3 Forums continues getting fascinating posts, so
if you still don't know what it is about, do drop by.
Another bit of
alternate reality has reared it's furry head in the Community forum. For the past five
days the Midsummer
Night's Dream is getting more and more surreal.

puffing he blew the house down. Angel Jayhawk
June 24th — Caesar III Did *WHAT*
for you?
Inspired by a
post from Moquel, Cherub ET Flavius has started a
thread, that goes by the name of Life,
Liberty and the Pursuit of the Caesar 3 Forums, where he asks us the simple question:
"How have the Caesar 3 forums made your life better?"
With almost a dozen posts there, it makes an interesting read...
Apart from that the birthday thread meanders on
and tells us today is Cherub
mouse's birthday, a day she
shared with fiona.
The Map
Editing forum is once again looking for beta-testers, this time for scenarios from
Hadrian's wall to Mongolia and from Londonium to Austria. So if you have a few hours to
spare...
— Well, for one thing
C3 made an angel out of me.... Angel Jayhawk
June 23rd — All Is Quiet on the
Nobel Front...
You might think
the Caesar
3 Nobel Prize forum is dead... It's not, not quite dead, yet. To break the monotony, Marcus
Dominus has started a thread asking you: What are you doing this summer?
You can give him an answer here.
The people bringing you all these wonderful
homemade scenarios are still looking for beta-testers in the Map
Making forum.
Cherub Baltic wrote down some of his observations on devolving
houses, which you can find here.
— Saw the Matrix
tonight...wow's the word.. Angel Jayhawk
June 22nd — Wrath of the Gods? On
Video?
The Technical
forum has an interesting bit on the various ways in which the Caesar III pantheon shows
their wrath.
Now I had never seen them in anger, but the thread does make me curious.
The Scenario/Map
Making forum has an interesting thread started Gordon Farrell, well
known for his scenarios, on the future of military scenarios.
Please point your browser there
and add a thought or two (or more) to this discussion.
Funny, I've been checking up on the Game
Help forum the last few days, and noticed two things.
Both are incredibly pleasing. On the one hand there's a whole lot of new names asking
questions about the career levels, on the other hand, by the time I see the post most of
the time the current/previous batch of forum regulars have jumped in to the breach and
given solid answers.
A very nice thing to see the Spirit of our forum so very much alive.
— Curiouser and
curiouser, said Alice. Angel Jayhawk
