* Package name : augustus Version : 4.0.0 Upstream Contact: Tomasz Drzewiecki <tom...@wp.pl> * URL : https://github.com/Keriew/augustus * License : AGPL-3.0 Programming Lang: C++ Description : Re-implementation of Caesar III with changes to gameplay Augustus is a fully working open-source version of Caesar III, with enhanced, customizable gameplay to Caesar III using project Julius UI enhancements. Gameplay enhancements include: . - Roadblocks - Market special orders - Global labour pool - Partial warehouse storage - Increased game limits - Zoom controls - And more! . Because of gameplay changes and additions, save files from Augustus are NOT compatible with Caesar III or Julius. Augustus is able to load Caesar 3 save files, but not the other way around. If you want vanilla experience with visual and UI improvements, or want to use save files in base Caesar III, check Julius. . Augustus requires the original assets (graphics, sounds, etc) from Caesar 3 to run. It optionally supports the high-quality MP3 files once provided on the Sierra website. I intend to package it within the debian games team (currently not been part of this team). Augustus is a fork of Julius (already pacakges), so it may makes sense to join forces together with Antoine Le Gonidec. A known problem: There is a nameclash with augustus "gene prediction in eukaryotic genomes" [https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/augustus] in the source name and the executable according to the Debian Policy 10.1: "packages must not install any newly conflicting programs to /usr/games" Does anyone have good idea about a new name for source package and the executable? You can find a already buildable version on salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/hefee/augustus Regards, hefee
