This is a fork of the Julius/Augustus project with the aim of making it work with Pharaoh instead of Caesar 3.

The work is still in progress, so any help or support is appreciated. You can more or less load original save games and play the first few missions in the campaign without major issues.

If you're looking for Caesar 3's vanilla experience with modern machine compatibility, check out Julius.
If you want additional features and visual/UI improvements, and don't care about strict compatibility with the original save files, check out Augustus.
For the original game, check out the page on Steam or GOG.
For the official upcoming remaster (unrelated to Ozymandias) called A New Era, check out the Steam page here.

After downloading the most recent binaries from above or building them from source, start Ozymandias and it will ask you to point to an original Pharaoh installation folder.

Ozymandias, like Julius and Augustus, requires the original assets (graphics, sounds, etc) from an unmodified game installation to run, in this case it needs Pharaoh as well as the Cleopatra expansion.

Note that you must have permission to write in the game data directory as the saves will be stored there; also, your game must be patched to last version to run Ozymandias.

• Clone the repository
• Install CMake
• run update-workspace.bat, which download all SDL2 dependencies and create VS solution for you

To build with your favorite IDE, just import the cmakelists.txt file as a project and build from there. Otherwise, you can use MinGW-w64 to build via CLI:

• Clone the repository

• Install CMake

• From the project's root folder execute, in order:

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake .. -G "MingGW Makefiles"
  mingw32-make
  

To run the engine, you'll also need the necessary dynamic libraries in the same folder as the executable, unless the project is set to build with static linkage.

• Navigate to the SDL2, SDL2_mixer and SDL2_image extracted files, and locate the .dll files inside the bin folder of the correct architecture (e.g. SDL2_image-2.6.2/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/)

• Copy the .dll files from each of the above to the build folder

Only tested on Manjaro, but under Ubuntu or similar you should install the same packages:

• Clone the repository

• From the root folder execute:

  $ ./update-workspace-linux.sh
  $ cmake --build ./build --target clean
  $ cmake --build ./build
  

Only tested on Manjaro, but under Ubuntu or similar you should install the same packages:

• Clone the repository

• From the root folder execute:

  $ ./update-workspace-mac.sh
  $ cmake --build ./build --target clean
  $ cmake --build ./build
  

Checkout cpptrace submodule:

git submodule init
git submodule update ext/cpptrace

Build in Debug mode.

Use environment variable SDL_LOG_PRIORITY for adjustment of logging. For example:

SDL_LOG_PRIORITY=debug

By default info level is set.

Enable tracy submodule:

git submodule init
git submodule update ext/tracy

Run profiler:

cd ext/tracy/profiler/build/unix && make && ./Tracy-release

Build & run with tracy enabled:

cmake -DUSE_FUTURE_TRACY=ON .. && make ozymandias && ./ozymandias
