[*]By rsn8887[*]Overview:
This is my Switch port of Julius, a Caesar III re-implementation, based on devnoname120's Vita port.

Julius is an open source re-implementation of Caesar III.

The aim of this project is to create an open-source version of Caesar 3, with the same logic as the original, but with some UI enhancements, that is able to be played on multiple platforms. The same logic means that the saved games are 100% compatible, and any gameplay bugs present in the original Caesar 3 game will also be present in Julius.

• UI enhancements include:
  - Support for widescreen resolutions
  - Windowed mode support for 32-bit desktops
  
  Julius requires the original assets (graphics, sounds, etc) from Caesar 3 to run.

  Thanks to the many developers of the game, such as Bianca van Schaik, crudelius, and all the others who were involved in creating this game.

  Installation Instructions
  =====
  - Extract the contents of julius_switch.zip into the `switch` folder on your SD card, so that you have a folder `switch/julius` with `julius.nro` inside.
  
  - Copy all the files from a Caesar 3 install into the `switch/julius` folder on you SD card, so that you have the file `c3.eng` and more in your folder, in addition to `julius.nro`. Caesar 3 can be purchased from gog.com for example.
  
  Switch-exclusive Features
  =====
  - USB mouse and keyboard support
  - Left analog stick mouse control
  - Right analog stick map scrolling
  - Touchpad-style mouse controls with click gestures (short single tap for left click etc.)
  - On-Screen keyboard via plus-key, useful to enter player name
  
  Controls
  =====
  Left analog stick = move the mouse pointer
  Right analog stick or dpad up/down/left/right = Move the map.
  R / A = left mouse button
  L / B = right mouse button
  X = Simulate `Pg. Up` keypress
  Y = Simulate `Pg. Down` keypress
  Plus = Bring up on-screen keyboard, useful to enter player name etc.
  
  Touch controls
  ======
  Note: for multi-touch gestures, the fingers have to be far enough apart from each other, so that the Switch will not erroneously recognize them as a single finger. Otherwise the pointer will jump around.
  
  Single short tap = left mouse click
  Single short tap while holding a second finger down = right mouse click
  Single finger drag = move the mouse pointer, how far the pointer moves in response to finger motion depends on the Mouse Speed setting
  Dual finger drag = drag'n'drop (left mouse button is held down)
  Three finger drag = drag'n'drop (right mouse button is held down)
