Caesar III - Military

Military

The game focuses more on city-building than military, but there will still be some fighting, even in some of the "peaceful" missions. The enemies in Mission Mode, from weakest to strongest, are:

  • Etruscans: Tarentum and Valentia
  • Greeks: Syracusae and Miletus
  • Pergamum soldiers: Tarsus
  • Egyptians: Damascus
  • Numids: Tingis and Caesarea
  • Gauls: Lutetia and Massilia
  • Dacians: Sarmizegetusa
  • Celts: Londinium and Lindum
  • Carthaginians: Mediolanum and Carthago
  • Caesar: All (He can attack if the player angers him by not paying back their bills) The first attack will be 2 legions of legionaries, which are very strong. If you kill them, another attack of about 6-8 legions of the same legionaries will follow. The attack will keep coming until you die (they also seem to stop if you get your favor over 35).

(The unnamed City, Brundisium, Capua, Tarraco and Lugdunum will never be invaded.)

Sometimes popular insurrections will occur. The insurgents are easier to kill, but there's no warning before the event happens.

To defend a city the player can build walls, ballista towers, and forts, which house Roman legion soldiers. The soldiers in a fort can be trained as legionaries, or auxiliaries including javelins, or cavalry.

Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “The domestic career is no more natural to all women than the military career is natural to all men.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “His ugliness was the stuff of legend. In an age of affordable beauty, there was something heraldic about his lack of it. The antique arm whined as he reached for another mug. It was a Russian military prosthesis, a seven-function force-feedback manipulator, cased in grubby pink plastic.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    “Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
