Caesar 3

           Hint file supplied by Stephen Chapman

In the Caesar 3 folder, there is a file named "c3_model.txt". When
you open it up, you will find all the values for the items in the
game. There are some instructions included within that file, but
not all the instructions are there.

The first section named "All Buildings" is where you can change
the price, desirability, desirability steps in tiles, desirability
steps in size, max desirability range, number of people a building
employs,
and future expansion.

Here is an example:
39,Gardens,{,12,3,1,-1,3,0,0,0,},

Note: Pay attention only to the values within the { and } 12 den
is the price, 3 is the desirability, and so on in order

Here is where it gets good. :) According to this, you will have to
pay 12 denari in order to build a garden. Change that number to a
negative and when you build a garden, they will pay you! For
instance:
39,Gardens,{,-1000,3,1,-1,3,0,0,0,},

Now with that setting, when you build a garden, the computer will
pay you 1000 denari and adds it to the city funds. You can do this
with any setting.

Another thing you can do is change the second number to a high
number and nothing will have detrimental effects on property.

The first is pretty self explanatory since the instructions are on
the .txt file itself.

The second part of this file is named, "All Houses". This took a
bit of trial and error since the names of the values were not
given.  Here is what I came up with by trial and error. Here is a
sample from the file: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t ...
to Z House 1 -

Tents,{,-99,-10,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,25,5,5,1,,,2.5,,,,,,

Only pay attention to the numbers after the { going across, I will
assign each number a letter in the alphabet for easier
understanding. :) (In most cases, the lower the number, the less
the demand for that item the houses need to evolve. Also, unless
where specified, the lowest number should be a zero.)
A. Desirability level at which the house will devolve. (-99 is the
lowest I have tried, when at that level, you can build the house
next to anything and it will evolve. Raising the number to say,
12, will make the house want a more desirable location in order to
keep it from devolving.)
B. Desirability level at which the house will evolve (same
concept, the lowest I have tried is -99. This makes it require a
number above -99 in order to evolve.)
C. The higher the number, the more likely the house will devolve.
D. Water Supply
E. Religion, lower number = less religion required.
F. Education
G. Evolve back to. When this value is set to a 1, that house can
devolve.
When it is set to 0, the house can not devolve.
H. Barber
I. Bath
J. Demands for health building (e.g. Doctor, Hospital)
K. Food Access.
L. Pottery
M. Oil
N. Furniture
O. Wine
P. ???
Q. ???
R. ???
S. Number of people to occupy that building.
T. ???
U. ???
V. ???
W. ???
X. ???
Y. ???
Z. ???
The ones with the ??? are the ones that could not figure out. They
may have to do with taxes and demand for a prefecture and
engineer. I am not sure though.

Hope this wasn't too confusing and it makes for some interesting
games. :)

Also beware, if you set out to make a rich neighbourhood, I found
out the hard way that they do not like to work, so expect things
to go really bad. Fires, building falling down, no food, riots and
barbarians all at the same time kinda deal... So try to make each
building only one square each so they can't expand into the great
big Luxury Villas.
