"I'm NOT doing a no debt challenge." *pouts at having her suggestion a few months back denied* Glad you remembered it, though! :P

[@cherryscarlett]

no debt challenge is awesome! Requires lots of intelligence. I recall using a mayor salary raise, way above my grade in the beginner missions, when the city was prosperous and difficulty lower, then using all that savings money to donate it to myself in the next mission, when it was much harder. It lost favor in Rome, but at least there was no falling into debt when building a new city. Never saved up more than few thousand dinari, then the richer city I built with it would allow a new pay raise to save up more money from the city profits.

I'm really excited about this new playthrough. Thanks for showing off so many many fun ways to play this game. The monuments would allow a special kind of challenge maybe... I'm not sure how exaclty, but maybe the community could vote on one or more monuments or grand temples you would have to build in a mission to complete it. Just like a goal in Pharaoh.

[@Aphid4]

The biggest limitation with forced walkers is no longer your 'walker distance' but rather how quickly services decay. A couple things: 1x1 buildings 'can' use forced walkers too. So can 3x3s. Typically (apart from prefectures/posts) the building with the quickest 'effective access decay' is the Market. Specifically the Oil resource. Market ladies will only sell 4 oil to each house, which decays fairly quickly to zero. (Even if Augustus raises it to 8, that'll still be your bottleneck) So ideally you want to make sure your market lady has the shortest walking distance, so you want to build your markets at the north end, not the south end, even though they need a bigger distance to stock up that way, the bottleneck is in how little they sell to each house, not how fast they can stock. Everything is topsy-turvy when playing forced walker you'll soon find out!

[@PlantBasedU]

Thanks for this. Having issues in Londinium my small palaces keep devolving no matter how many markets and warehouses I put nearby trying to sell olive oil or wine alone they just wouldn’t stay stable. The market sellers really can’t hold enough

I remember when I used to play this game, you could click and drag a reservoir to place down two reservoirs and automatically place down connecting aqueducts. Did I just imagine that?

[@crudelios]

Hey GamerZakh! Glad to see you on a new C3 playthrough. Watching you play has already given me some new ideas for Julius/Augustus, like adding pending imperial requests to the sidebar. Just.. Don't forget to look at the sidebar! I cringed every time you said "So how much unemployment do I have?" and then went to the advisor menu instead of reading the number right in front of you. Guess old habits die hard ;) There's a new Augustus version coming up eventually (it's not yet feature complete) and it will have a whole lot of new mechanics and under-the-hood features, like limitless buildings/walkers, some pathfinding improvements and, appropriately, a separate import/export button (allowing importing and exporting a good at the same time). We're also planning on adding some entirely new strategic aspects to the game in the not-so-near future, so expect some fun when revisiting the game for the next time too.

[@a.gumbellina]

Yay another mission! Daily Caesar 3 content from my favorite, yes please! I followed your videos featuring Augustus before but didn't realize how great some of the new features were until they went in an actual playthrough. Keep em coming!

[@michaelodonz3520]

Nice one ^^ new gameplay

[@IgorWelkenbach]

Here are some challenges that I can suggest (although they'd probably need custom edited maps to work) - 1) a city with only limited exports (like 1k or 2k per year max) where you have to make it become lucrative solely by the way of taxes; and 2) a city that requires villas and palaces, but with the entire city interconnected by roads (no isolated bits) so the food priority behavior would be very problematic.... would be interesting to see.

[@MaegnasMw]

Zakh importing furniture when he wanted to export it, reminds of the danger that lurks for everyone; that decent, well organized people who have their act together can, for no apparent reason, act like governments and make no sense at all!!

The anachronicity of this game is that the same mayor, with the same name plays in different cities he builds.. across many centuries of rome expansionism.. and literally dozens of Caesars, while not dying. Is the main character _a vampire or what?_ Sounds like a great backstory that is never explored.

[@fm-kx4jo]

with forced walkers, I think market lady walked really far and by the time she reaches later end of the trip her food are all gone, so I think 2 markets are always necessary

[@GamerZakh]

The market can restock while she is out. There are 2 market ladies.

[@MarkGardiner1976]

I love this series of video's. I understand the idea of forced walkers does it mean that you only need one of each of those buildings with forced walkers instead of putting loads of those buildings amongst your houses? Also, what's the best ratio of raw material buildings to workshops for good productivity? Is it 2 to one? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

[@cordarotta7439]

Hi Zak. Congratulations on your technique on Caesar you are strong. Bravo!! I have a question, I also started a career with the Augustus expansion .. My problem is that anyway if I create a loop with the roadblocks and there are no houses inside, no one goes to work in the buildings I build (unlike for example in this your map of the industrial area, where without houses and closed loop with roadblocks anyway the buildings work for you) .. Am I missing some game settings at the beginning to check? Thanks for your video and support. God bless you and Caesar gamers ;)

[@GamerZakh]

Thanks! The setting that controls that is called Global Labor Pool, you can toggle that in the difficulty tab of the new options.

[@philipguard539]

With a long loop for the market does it not make the market lady give out less food etc to each home?

[@GamerZakh]

Only if the market runs out of food, so if the market is close enough to the granary it can keep stocked easier.

[@rootifera]

Compared to Pharaoh, which one do you think is less forgiving when you make a mistake?

[@GamerZakh]

Edit! I thought you said 'more' forgiving at first. Hmm I think Pharaoh because military in Pharaoh can be harder and the randomisation of flood plains means you have to be more prepared for suddenly fluctuations.

[@user-kz1gv8mj2m]

how does the gldiators go with the loop like where does the gladiator path ends and where does it start

[@GamerZakh]

Gladiators go from the gladiator school to amphitheatres, arenas, and coliseums

[@thuzzle]

You know you can use more than 1 market, right? :D I usually did 2 for my 8x16 blocks, these winding cities could probably use something similar.

[@mrmartinLgore]

There are two markets with a temple in between

[@GamerZakh]

I did put in a second market, though it's only needed if the first market can't restock fast enough or the road is so long one loop takes so long that houses devolve.

[@thuzzle]

@@GamerZakh Yes, noted. I just wrote the comment earlier while being frustrated at how slowly everything was evolving. :) Also, it might get tricky to sync the market ladies to avoid devolving. At first you can pop the second market down at the right time, but if one market happens to run out of goods the timing is ruined I think. Very different compared to block builds.

No it's something that's been in the game since vanilla. Technically it's a bug I guess? It's just Augustus doesn't fix it on purpose to leave it as an option.

[@luluboule9519]

Hi So: the technique of forced walker works also in Caesar 3 and pharaoh and Cleopatra?

It does work in Pharaoh for most things. I think they're keeping it for the Pharaoh remake too. I heard it works on a few buildings in Zeus but not too sure about that.

[@Bentheriault1]

is the force walker a new thing?? because i'm pretty sure the walker normaly just dissapear when they are at the end of their run, or is that from another game??

[@GamerZakh]

It's an old thing from the base game. I don't think any walkers in Impressions games are supposed to just disappear, though some do because of bugs. They're always supposed to go back to their home building, except school children?

@@GamerZakh I know it's been more than 20 years but I still remember the mission briefing starting with "Caesar is at today's gladiator tournament" and it was the 3rd mission.

Maybe, it had been changed by a patch later, those days there was no internet (yes, I feel old :)). Great series and great playstyle, congratulations.

How is it possible that your farms are so far from your houses? When i try it even with Augustus mod it can't find any workforce.

With Augustus, there's an option for global labour, which means buildings don't have to look for workers. Like how it is in Zeus and Emperor. If you don't want to use that, just place some small houses near the farms. When the brown citizen walker passes 1 house the building they're from can access the whole population.
