Augustus

Notes

You can buy a digital copy from GOG or Steam, or you can use an original CD-ROM version. Install the game files into ports/augustus/data, here are some excellent instructions from the Julius project (which Augustus is a fork of). If installing from the CD's you'll need to get the latest patches.

Thanks to Keriew for this modified version of the open source julius port from Bianca van Schaik and other contributors. Also thanks to Kloptops for the packaging for portmaster and Cebion for the controls work.
