To get the Caesar 3 files from the GOG or CD-ROM version of the game, either use the Caesar3Unpacker utility or extract the files yourself using the command line.

Use Caesar3Unpacker

1. Download the latest version of Caesar3Unpacker, open it and follow the steps in the wizard
2. Start Julius, and point the game to the folder that was just extracted

Extract the files using the command line

GOG: using InnoExtract

CD-ROM: using UnShield

1. Install Unshield through Homebrew:

   $ brew install unshield
   

2. Open a Terminal in the directory where you want the Caesar 3 files
