Ceres makes your fields wither and die leaving you with a starving populous. Piss them off, and you're in for a load of problems that even the finest management won't be able to sort out. Ceres will make your crops grow faster, Mercury will help you with your industry, Venus will keep your populace happy, and Mars will place you city under his protection. Keep your temples well staffed, and you'll receive blessings from the blessed god. The game's five different deities, Ceres, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Neptune, demand constant attention. The biggest mistake of all is to neglect your temples. Not enough men for the local theatre? Look for your bored population to seek other cities that might offer more distraction from their ho-hum lives.
No peons to take up water services? Look for your fountains to cut off and your populous to start looking for a better city. Run out of workers in the hospital? Better get ready for a plague that'll wipe out half your town. For every fountain you build, temple you open, or doctor you place, you'll need a staff to make it work. Unfortunately, this brings its own set of problems. The obvious answer seems to build more housing units, or improve the housing units that you already have. Almost every city I built was horribly understaffed from the get go. If that all sounds like a lot of different workers, it is. Don't get comfortable, there's still the matter of making sure you have enough workers to take that food to your city's many markets, and then insuring that there are workers in those markets to sell the food to your population. Next you'll have to build a granary to store the food and make sure that it is equipped with enough workers to unload the food. In order to get it to them, you'll have to build farms (which come in grain, vegetable, and pig farm varieties) and make sure that they have enough workers to produce their crop. Even on the earliest levels, you'll learn that feeding your people is much more of a chore than in the past. One of the biggest changes between Caesar II and the new title is the sheer number of difficulties you have to contend with. Doing this is never easy, and towards the later levels in the game, it can get to be down right difficult. As you progress, new challenges (as well as new buildings) will be added and you'll find your time taken up by such diverse problems as appeasing angry gods, sending Caesar gifts and tribute, and stopping citizen revolts. In the early levels of the game, all you will need to do is build a small city, provide it with the most basic of facilities, and keep it from burning down. As with the first two games, Caesar III takes place in ancient Rome with you cast as a young citizen looking to rise up through the ranks.
