[@ResonNL]

After 2 tries I finally perfected this city and I even finished in the year 159BC which is even 3 years earlier than you. I'm so proud now, i'm a master in Ceasar 3 :D Again, thanks alot for this video!

[@ResonNL]

I also got a tip for u @gamerzakh Your music stops because u instantly sent the requested goods to the emperor while using the shortcut in the pop up message. The solution is clicking away the pop up message and sent the goods trough the normal way via the menu or by pressing 3. If u do that the music will never stop anymore.

[@GamerZakh]

@@ResonNL Ah right, yeah I should try make a habit of doing that. Thanks!

[@det7213]

I think i find another way to deal with immigration glitch, based on destroying 1x1 tents when immigrants near new houses, and clicking cancel button when new houses almost filled(in period when houses destroyed their pop limit didnt cound, till guy from house get back). 1x1 houses bcz they spawn one guy who start slowly leaving, and if you click cancel button he will turn back. 2x2 tents still spawn only one guy, so 1x1 hold 5 pop, and if you destroy 2x2 tent and click cancel you gonna lose 15 population, so to prevent that i use only 1x1 tents. Sorry for my english tho. Not sure its better than method mentioned by you or i its already known but i find it a bit easier personally.

[@GamerZakh]

@@det7213 Ah that's one way to get through it for sure, nice idea! Your english is great too!

[@TheWaaaagh]

I've been playing this game since I was a little kid (29 now). The secrets just blew my mind.

[@GamerZakh]

Yeah there's just so much that's never properly explained.

Hahaha the same. 28 here, when I saw it on steam and had to have it. The Augustus mod makes the game so much more pleasurable

@@SanSanus Probably not more than two, three at a stretch.

[@JamesMandolare]

You gifted little sun of a ….I have struggled for years and years and you just "tra La La" and cruise through it like nothing-ON HARD! I love/hate you! You're so good that I have started over again to follow in your footsteps. I had a huge city with great stats-except for Prosperity. 45! But I couldn't stabilize it. I was trying to give everybody everything. I should have thought more like an elitist and given the riff raff only wheat and pottery! Genius! I hate/love you.

[@GamerZakh]

Haha! It took me years to be able to figure this out and pull it off. Been playing Caesar 3 consistently since 2012 and my recent special challenge playthrough taught me a lot of new tricks. When you figure out how to win the final military mission in a heretic city of constant god curses, other limitations don't seem so bad.

[@JamesMandolare]

So fun to watch you GZ! Thanks for your excellent channel. @@GamerZakh

[@JamesMandolare]

Thanks to you GZI finally won Lugdunum Caesar III! Months and Years of low land magic pigs, furious Gods and Goddesses, Landslides, rebellious warehouses, deserters, wild wolves, rocks, and barbarian mobs! Not to mention blind market ladies! I am finally free and on to the dry desert of Tarsus.

[@JamesMandolare]

I built a city very much like GZ on KZbin I must admit. I shut down weapons and iron to have enough employees to cover culture dumps-and I found a clever barbarian block that I filled with a few houses and amenities that put me over 5000 population and it finally paid off. Not giving the masses furniture and oil did the trick. (Pottery, theaters, schools and amphitheaters, were enough for the working class neighborhoods.) I tried so hard for years now to do it all for everybody! (SOCIALISM!) Like ancient Rome, my six Grand Villa's for the elite (who got everything: meat, fruit, oil, wine, furniture, (expensive imports!) pottery, colosseums, libraries, academies, Hospitals) did the rest. But I'll take the VICTORY! I finally stood on the Emperor's balcony and accepted the staff of VICTORY to the cheers of the adoring crowd. The roar of the crowd sure was sweet. Better than the beat of the drum of a galley slave which were my many previous results. (Notice that my original comment was a year ago!)

[@GamerZakh]

Congratulations! Not easy beating this mission, it's a big accomplishment!

[@007a1000]

Best hour and a half spent on KZbin ever....that was brilliant

[@GamerZakh]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I did almost every trick in my book for this one.

[@caesarzx]

Hahaha, loved watching you showing off that “reservoir trick”. I can just watch you doing that all day no matter how many times you have already done. LOL.

[@billn.1318]

I got this game in 2004 just before heading to basic in the army. I kept this game the entire time. From lraq to Afghanistan to Europe and to Israel. I played this without a guide and just found out secrets and more tips from this video now that what I knew before. Made me love this game even more. Just the entire game really made you feel like you were a Roman governor. You also learned how to buy and sell by trade. How to sell resources and sell the proper amount and save just enough for your city.

[@JRushVideos]

I subscribed to you when I found that you were one of the very few people who still played my favorite childhood game, and the tutorials you give are good and genuine. I beat this game through sheer willpower when I was 12 but it took months and months of time. To see you do it in a little over an hour is heartbreaking because you never struggle like I did, but it's definitely improved my overall game as I go back and replay them. Good stuff my friend!!

[@GamerZakh]

Hey thanks! And don't worry, I struggled a LOT for these games. I did my first Caesar 3 playthrough in 2012 and another one last year, and only after years of playing the game and messing things up can I do Lugdunum in an hour and a half. This video is just a culmination of everything I've learnt over the last 7 years.

[@JRushVideos]

@@GamerZakh Well your experience definitely shows!! I'm still no pro yet either, but your suggestions and placements definitely make the game go by a lot faster!! Haha

[@spqrxli]

1:06:42: "Actually, I'm rich. Let's aesthetics now!" That remark just made my day, Zakh.

[@GamerZakh]

Priorities! Haha sometimes I just get an urge to decorate.

[@RevolutionMan]

Heres another tip; I had a population of 5000 but couldn't get my prosperity stable so I bulldozed the whole map and started again with 70k cash!

[@risingvibes100]

Thanks for your great tips. All my time playing I never knew about keeping roads as small and compact as possible. I used to build large cities and connect all the roads wondering why my houses wouldn't upgrade when everything needed was close by. Thanks a bunch!

[@GamerZakh]

Glad you found it useful! Yeah this game isn't really realistic, more of a puzzle game with weird mechanics haha.

[@lfirstluis4880]

I don't know if you still do these ones but thanks a lot .. i played this game wen i was 15 .. im 35 now.. and ran across one of these and went back to install the game.. thanks to you I play Caesar better than ever.. and i can show tonmy kids what its about.. Big up!

[@robinb.3840]

Hooo man, so many many THANK YOU !!! I've been stuck for AGES on this map, and now, thanks to you, I managed to finish it ! (I basicly followed every single one of your step, down to the specific grids points, lol) You teached me so much stuff! This game is truly amazing! I've been playing it since my teens, and I'm still addicted to it! ^_^

[@GamerZakh]

Happy to help! This was a compilation of every trick I had.

[@Msmoehri92]

You make every map look like an absolute cake walk! I've been struggling with Lugdunum for about a week now...silly me, I thought, after finally beating Miletus, nothing could stop me :D

[@jeremysalkeld8742]

OH MY GOD I love this! I've just got back into Caesar III doing the peaceful missions and Lugdunum has been stumping me for the past week! Thank you!

[@GamerZakh]

Glad I could help! Lugdunum is the infamous mission for a reason, thought since I figured it out a video would be handy.

[@neelsinator]

I've played this game on and off for several years and ALWAYS get stuck on this map! Will have to try this out! You make it seem so easy!

[@emtpwanabe]

I was grown when this first came out, but it was one of the first PC games I played! I decided to give it a try again for the first time in 23 years. Your vids have made me facepalm and ask “why didn’t I know that!!!” You rock!

[@Solimuse]

It took me 4 days to beat that map. And Thank to you, I learn enough to beat it ^^. This is something I like about this kind of game, some mission are really complicated (keeping high prosperity with limited furniture is not an easy feat) but you learn how to do it and it's a great feeling ! Mastering the Accepting and geting aspect of the game is primordial here

[@ResonNL]

As always an instant classic! What a beautyfull display on how to master Lugdunum. I got so inspired from this video I tried it myself but due to a small mistake I wasn't able to get it before the peace rating.... I guess I have a new goal :D btw: Even two complete new tricks for me wich i will use alot with the aquaduct and the free plaza's!

[@badbones777]

Thanks for this video! Finally beat this mission which has always been my road block in this game (got it more or less when it first came out and could never get past this mission!) Thanks so much for all the tips!

[@GamerZakh]

Happy to help! This is definitely the road block mission in the campaign. You gotta know some tricks to beat it properly, it's like a test.

[@englemanart]

I played this level every day for a week and didn't beat it (came very close several times). Learned a lot about what not to do. I figured out destination walkers on my own, but just learned not to bother giving furniture to the pebs! So glad to be past this. Loved every mission up to this point but I hope the rest isn't this frustrating geographically. Thanks Zakh.

[@schlingel0017]

It's great Zakh, well done. I hope someone points to the times where you provide all your tricks :) I didn't know that the general coverage of entertainment could affect house evolvings. When I got that message from the house, I would simply build a collosseum for them...

[@xDeliv3ratoRx]

Yes! Finally, after all these years I managed to beat this map. I've always had to take the Carthago route previously. Thank you ever so much.

[@GamerZakh]

Glad I could help! It's definitely one of the toughest missions if not the toughest.

[@pwatts8846]

I've never been able to play Carthago because it crashed. Only since Julius was made was that overcome (thanks Bianca). I find Carthago to be perhaps more difficult anyway.

[@ralbhat]

First time I noticed that you wear a lab coat when you're doing this. Love watching your videos. Actually made me start playing C3 again, used to love the game years ago. I still remember this map, and its amazing the way you've done it. Hope you keep loving the game and having fun making these videos; I love watching your stuff.

[@GamerZakh]

Thank you! It's the first time I've owned the lab coat for a City-building Doctor. Bought it for Two Point Hospital on Halloween and figured it'll be useful here too. Been playing C3 since the start of the channel and not bored yet haha. I think it'll always interest me somehow.

[@kelseycox8632]

Hi, thank you for giving me confidence. Now I feel like I want to try to conquer this map! I found you a while back when I first started Caesar like a month ago. I haven’t gave up! I beat Miletus! Then I saw this next map and was having serious anxiety. You made it look so easy! Your tips and tricks were amazing! I like your plaza shirt! If I wasn’t so broke I’d be getting one! 😊 Thank you for helping the newbies! You’re my hero.

[@moecritter]

Thanks for the vid. I played this when it came out and got stuck on this one. Prosperity was the main problem. Started playing again a few days ago and decided to find some info to help and this vid was what I found. Knew a couple of the tips but, the walker trick doesn't work for the Colosseum on my computer, not sure why. I noticed that the problem you may have been having with the northern granary may have been that the other one they were taking from was out when the walker started to go to get more. The north one was the only other one they could go get it from. Thanks again and I'm watching the other vids before I start on those areas. Valentia is up next

Love your content. There was a lot of time to watch your Caesar 3 videos during the lockdown. And as always: the rich people of Lugdunum weren't taxed... smh

[@klankungen7794]

this video helped me some. the only problem I had was that I didn't realice that it doesn't mater where things such as theaters are as long as you have acces to one, so I used the destination walk to give everyone accces in the city. in the end, following your guide, I had some problems with workers, but managed to get my ratings up by alternating from prioritising entertainment and health and glitched one of them to max before the other one was under staffed

[@spqrxli]

Great tutorial, Zach! I learned a lot. (I confess I was in suspense about how long it would take for you to remember you'd forgotten barbers for your patricians, though ; ) )

I'll never stop loving that 2D top-down isometric shit. Thanks for the tip, and for the videos! They're fun to watch, but also really relaxing to listen to while I write about Apex Legends for work. Sometimes I even put them on to go to sleep. I'm reviving my YT channel soon so I might end up making some C3 videos myself! None of my business: you have a great voice, but for the life of me, I can't place your accent. Where are you from? (No pressure on answering - like I said, not my business, just curious.)

[@mateusfolletto6142]

My copy of Caesar 3 allows me to import buildings from other maps, like, I'm playing a mission that only allows me to plant wheat, so I'll save the game, exit to main meny, open a skirmish with a pig farm, select it, click and hold with it on the ground to build one but only release it once someone walks over it, so it won't get placed. Then open the load game menu, load the city that only allowed wheat, and bam, the cursos is, for some reason, holding a pig farm. I used to do it all the time when I was younger to get weapons, resources, military and triumph arcs everywhere. Fun times. I don't know if GOG or Steam version allow that. The one I own is from a CD that came on a PC Gamer magazine.

[@kristynasmidova6220]

Ok so this one video finally lead me to win! Once again thank you a lot 😇 because it was really hard one... just tell me it won't be so bad with the next map 😅

[@usun_politics1033]

In Augustus mod I easily beat it yesterday by evolving all houses to grand insulaes. No villas. 4 equal blocks centrally supplied from bottom central trading location for oil and furniture workshops. No settlements on top farming plato. No tricks. It's all about strict logistics control and it's way more satisfying now. Also cart stations and highways further streamline main distribution lines.

i remember i restart the map about 3x times, then the 4th one... i barely clear it, thx in your discord :D but kinda stressfull, because the unstable blocks, and yeah probably the furniture bit a problem.. and its tooks me about 2 weeks to beat this map (i know, im not an expert :o )

[@GamerZakh]

It's one of the hardest maps! Not because of invasions or money, it's actually hard because of city-building problems, so it's very normal to struggle with this one. I did too for years until I figured out this technique.

[@Elmo9001]

1:22:44 is the most satisfying moment. Every time I spotted that unevolved Large Casa it really bugged me.

[@historysquad]

@@GamerZakh I like your videos and the way you interact with your fans!

[@pwatts8846]

You can pacify the natives with gardens. You only need the mission post until the native chief starts trading. If you put the export warehouse right near the chiefs hut (ie the native trader spawns on the same square as it buys from) thats all the trade you'll need and this mission becomes far far easier.

[@MyThoughts19902X]

That's a great advice that I didnt know about.

[@tasosdalatsoudis7040]

and a tip to all the people and all the maps. prosperity rises if the housing quality have stabillity untill it reaches the max prosperity rating for the buildings you have. if your city lacks stabillity the prosperity rating doesnt rise. good luck

[@jaymxu]

[@GSGrava]

This game is hard. I started following your channel because of it. Nowadays I really prefer watching you play than playing it myself. This immigration glitch is too painful for me... Haha

[@GamerZakh]

It is annoying haha, I always recommend to just drop difficulty after starting the mission so money is vary hard money but you get to 300 people and up it back to very hard. I can't do that because people would complain.

[@GummieI]

well the Immigration glitch only exist on Very hard though, so you could turn it down to hard untill you get past 300 pop, if it is only that part that is the problem

[@GSGrava]

I think Zakh makes this game look SO much easier than it actually is... when I play it the game just laughs at me, I am so terrible at it haha

[@GSGrava]

Zakh is like the Bob Ross of city building games

[@GummieI]

I am not saying it doesn't look easier than it is, every single game (or any activity for that matter) looks super easy when done by ppl who knows everything about it, was just that you mentioned that specific glitch only, why I commented on it, but the game sure have its other share of oddities as well (several of which also shown in this video), and yet so many ppl insist that ond games wasn't riddled with bugs and glitches xD

[@michaelperry4217]

GZ, you should do another playthrough - but do each map upside down. I call it "north is south". The original maps are still the best, but get repetitive after 20 years or so. Do them upside down and it changes them into new maps!

[@GamerZakh]

That's actually a good idea! I don't think I've ever played these maps facing a different direction.

[@freycomm35]

Hey Zakherino, How about do some more in depth explorations of the game mechanics. For example, how many soldiers min you need to kill wolfs on certain difficulty level. Or how much exactly a shop/farm makes per time period. Since you are pretty specialized in these kind of games, that type of detailed mechanic videos seem like a natural extension.

[@GamerZakh]

I've thought about those kinds of videos but the hard part is I'm not actually good at the numbers in these games. I've been playing Caesar 3 consistently for 7 years now and I still don't remember how much food a farm makes every year haha.

[@pierinopisandri]

[@milanpospisil8024]

This mission is very hard for newbies and ok for experienced players no matter the difficulty. Difficulty makes fights harder (more enemy soldiers, but there are any) and you gain less money from taxes (again, not problem for this map). This map is all about city planning placement.

[@SuryaBH]

prosperity gets calculated in the beginning of each year. you were on december month when you won which means if peace had not increased before the end of the year, prosperity would have dropped in january of next year due to the large number of tents and you would not have won the map.

[@OptLab]

Good to know thanks

[@SZislecker]

Hey Zakh, what do you think of the City Constructrion Kit missions? Some of them are quite challenging, like Corinthus. Would be cool, seeing you tackle them :)

I actually replayed Lugdunum today because I skipped it during my campaign. I found it quite easy to win with 2 big blocks (on hard, not very hard). Thank you so much for all your tips! Watching your videos actually made this game a lot of fun for me. I just started playing it and finished both campaigns in 1 month. I had played it before about 20 years ago, but I couldn't get past the third mission. I'm actually enjoying city building games now, just started Pharaoh. One question that really bugs me is that I found a video in the game files called Empire_Expand.smk and I don't know where/when it's supposed to play. Do you know anything about it? Also how come the second great mood audio never plays? I had my city at 100 across the board and it still only played only the first great mood audio.

tossing the food down the cliff to the rich people, haha

[@tasosdalatsoudis7040]

ah here we are. i watched the second video and i thought there is only one. thanks

[@arrazyhub2219]

hello zakh, i want to know the hotkey to speed up or slow down in caesar III, thanks..

[@GamerZakh]

Hey, it's the [ and ] key. Depending on your keyboard, it's whatever you press to make those symbols.

I am determined to beat this map! I have a new problem though. When I create the secondary location for weapons (closer to the natives), weapons don't render. The workshops make them, get to 100%, and BOOM, nothing. They don't take them to the warehouse, they just disappear. I'm going to try and attempt moving them to another spot and see if it works. Anyone else have this issue? This map has been getting buggier lately. UPDATE: I moved it and it works! Still close to the native hut, but fingers crossed I can finally beat this level after *cough* 20 years *cough*

[@davidmack8188]

why does it say i need a supply post when i try to build the first javelins?

[@GamerZakh]

In Augustus you need a supply post to feed soldiers.

[@Evcilpalamut]

what is the difference between getting foods and accepting in C3? Can you explain to me?

[@GamerZakh]

Getting means that building will send out a cart pusher to go get that resource from another same building that is set to 'Accepting'. It can't get from a 'Getting' building.

[@gustavopatrocinio824]

So fun to watch!! Many thanks Zahk! I'm having a issue here, when it gets to middle 155 b.c. my population simply drops to 0!!! Like, everybody disappear from the map!! =/ Have you ever seen this? Is this like a bug/problem from the game?

[@GamerZakh]

I've never seen that just happen, it sounds like the path into your city gets blocked and that makes houses become non-functional. If you have a save file or video to share I could say more.

[@Mike_x64]

24:53 laughing loudly at this point!

[@GamerZakh]

Lol sometimes you can just do things

[@guguigugu]

i had 200.000 dn but all of my houses went to crap because of no pottery, while warehouses were full of it. gonna have to try again and never start selling it. theres lots of stuff in this game that you just need to figure out by many hours of trial and error, its the one thing that i dont like about it.

[@pauldaldalian2512]

Hello zack please we need more zeus and ceaser gameplays thank you

[@GamerZakh]

You're in luck! I just released 2 new videos for Caesar 3.

[@0lympy]

Have you tried to hit natives with legion?

[@nabilmeziane7176]

thank you...FOR REAL !

[@GamerZakh]

Glad I could help!

[@vitaoma]

Could you show us your best and biggest city? I didn't know I could build some houses near the farms or far places just to get workers but I don't like to see a lot of houses not evolving.. How could you evolve all houses? Is it possible? Thanks for the video

[@GamerZakh]

Not sure which I would consider my best city. I've done some crazy challenges though. You can totally evolve all houses but you need to plan a bit more carefully. Here are some interesting ones I've done though: 1. Wealth gap city - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppPaqoRoeZyebc0 2. Weapon blocks where I made the worst design ever (Frostmourne block) actually work - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp_YhWZ4r6mpY5I 3. Heretic city - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p366gZpuqJWngpI

[@bilbobaggins3567]

Do you not need a prefecture in this map to stop fires?

[@GamerZakh]

There's no risk of fire on northern maps, the ones with the dark green grass.

[@-timaeus-9781]

You should add this to the City Building Doctor playlist. :)

[@GamerZakh]

Oh did I forget? Thanks! Will do it now.

[@verstrahlt1907]

i never knew the reservoar-draging nor the aqueduckt-road trick

[@naomi_moon]

zakh has speed runner level of knowledge about this game lol

[@GamerZakh]

Haha somewhat, but I'm naturally slow, so speedrunning isn't quite my forte.
