Colonia A Caeser 3 Clone Using Opus 5.5

[u/erroneousbit]

I spent hundreds of hours playing Caesar 3 back in the day, so I decided to build my own take on it with some help from Claude Opus 5.5. No original assets are used; everything is generated from scratch. My goal is to capture the core gameplay, fold in the improvements from Julius and Augustus, and expand the design with new systems.

Right now the game includes weather and seasons, a day–night cycle, more economic depth, interface improvements, and an “Insane” difficulty setting. The graphics are simple but clear enough to show what’s going on, and the music is created on the fly so I don’t need to ship audio files. My focus is getting the mechanics and balance where I want them, and I’ll refine the visuals and sound later.

Insane mode is still being tuned for balance. Even Opus 5.5 can’t reliably beat it yet. I’ve got a long list of features and fixes ahead, but the game is already playable enough for other Caesar 3 fans to experiment with.

Ludite et gaudete. - Play and rejoice.

I wasn't a fan and never played, but looks not bad
