Unbeknown to me, the other fires I arrived back at had nothing to do with the plague but were, instead, because my Engineers and firemen simply weren't walking the paths to those properties. And also, apparently your firemen can't put out the fire as there is plague there, so you just have to wait for the house to burn out before replacing it. Apparently your house catches fire when people get the plague. This time, seeing it in action, I realise that the skulls are over houses that are on fire. Suddenly another batch of houses succumb to the plague.
I watched my firemen put out a fire then watched as they didn't put out any more fires. some buildings were on fire and others had skulls above them. It told me that my firemen were now busy fumigating the town and that I had no Hospital to care for injured residents. I got back 10 minutes later to find the game had self-paused anyway to inform me the plague was ravaging my town. I decided to leave the game at 10% and go for a 10 minute walk and see if I'd reached 100% employment and a greater money pool by the time I'd got back - instead of sitting by the screen being tempted to build stuff I couldn't afford. AFAICT it was just a matter of letting the game run for a bit while my economy got itself into more funds so that I could get on with buying the next batch of buildings (such as a Colosseum). It's good that you have to figure things out for yourself, but then its bad that you waste 4 hours of gameplay for no other reason than the tutorial didn't mention something fairly basic, making you reload an older save and simply adding the building it forgot to tell you about.Įverything was rolling along quite nicely, everything seemed stable. Is this the good ol' days or the bad ol' days of computer gaming? Well there's a question for the ages indeed. Haha, the tutorial doesn't tell you what you need to know, it just gives you a couple of basics then drops you in the deep end. I bought Caesar 3 on the recent gog sale for a pound and thought I'd try it out.Īfter doing the two tutorial levels and then being wiped out in the first real mission I thought I'd make a thread where I can chart my n00bly hilarious major cock-ups for you schadenfreude pleasures (while also providing and noting critiques that I'll likely have forgotten about by the time I finish it for my own record).
