CaesarIA is now on steam! The Caesar III re-make was just released in early access and has been in Steam Greenlight since April 16, 2014. The Steam page can be found here.

The legalities of it are a little iffy, as it seems even by default it uses content from Caesar III. It is supposed to have new art, and opt-in to use Caesar III resources if you have them available.

We have checked, and some of the music is the same as in Caesar III, so it does look like it's illegally supplying copyrighted content like that directly in the download, eek.

About the Game
CaesarIA is a remake of an old-school economic strategy game, Caesar III which is a masterpiece among the games of this genre for us. There are different economic strategy games and they can be broken down to subtypes but from my viewpoint Caesar encompasses planning, constructing, diplomacy and military campaigns.

You can actually find it on Sourceforge too, so you don't need Steam. The engine is open source which is nice, but we do hope they remove the copyrighted content, and fast.

The way to do it, as far as I'm concerned, is to do it like Arx Liberatis (which is cross-platform, BTW, since the original has some problems running on Windows these days), or OpenMW works, which require the data from Arx Fatalis, or Morrowind, respectively, without which neither will run.

There's also the way that corsix-th and openttd work, with have free data available. You get the better :S: experience, however, if you install the data files from Theme Hospital and Transport Tycoon Deluxe, respectively.
