Well, I think there's only one basic city center design.

Place the bathhouse at the center. On its diagonals, put 3x3 blocks. On its horizontal and vertical sides, put fountains and temples.

Next, a road surrounding the bathhouse + fountain + temples.

xxxvvxxx
xxxvvxxx
xxxvvxxx
vvvoovvv
vvvoovvv
xxxvvxxx
xxxvvxxx
xxxvvxxx

x = residential
v = temples, fountains, forum
o = bathhouse

Keep open spaces for the arena, circus and schools around this road. Watch that police and markets are not too close to the inner residential areas. Both hospitals and libraries can be on the edge of town, even next to industrial zone, just as long they're connected by road and have forum access. The smallest forum is cheap to build so don't be afraid to toss in a few.

If you do it correctly and all goes as planned, those 3x3 residential zones (xxx) will turn into four beautiful palaces.

For a bigger city: same trick I used in Simcity: build just another such a citycenter, connecting it by road to the other center.

Change the game's sound config IRQ to 7.
or Dosbox's default to 5.
(works for me)
I prefer changing game settings.

[ed]
I'll add this game to the list of "need repacking with correct config".

Default Sorry to be a spoiler

Sorry to be a spoiler about a free game but are there any versions with the sound or is the sound available for download?

I didn't use zip because rar compresses much better and that is vital if you have a very slow connection.

I had to rename the file to the zip ... because my web server won't allow downloading .rar files and I couldn't change that from the remote location. I changed that - rar file.

The .pl8 files are uploaded to the abandonia server and I messaged the admin (TomHenrik) but there was no reply.

I just tryed to opened the .rar.zip file directly with winrar and it works fine. No renaming needed (it can be difficult if user doesn't know how to disable the hiding of file extensions).

EDITed on 12th January 2006: New download link.
Megaupload

Hi Patriot,

go to

www.win-rar.com

and you can download it on a free
trial and it does a GREAT job, it really gets things un compressed
in a superior fashion and it opened up the files that DSmidgey
had up for us to help fix the Caesar II files. Worked great for
me downloading.

enjoy
