CaesarIA is a remake of an old-school economic strategy game, Caesar III which is a masterpiece among the games of this genre, to many fans. There are different economic strategy games and they can be broken down to subtypes but from my viewpoint Caesar encompasses planning, constructing, CaesarIA is in early access and you should expect many bugs and a game that is incomplete. It is a good opportunity to get involved in the improvement of a great game in the making.
