I've found a working solution to the problem if setting 16-bit colors isn't working out (like it wasn't for me). It is using DXWnd which is a software that wraps around other applications running them in a window. So start off with downloading that and potentially the 1920x1080 resolution exe file if you want to play in a higher resolution.

    Download DXWnd: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/

    Download C3 1920x1080.exe: http://dl.dropbox.com/s/9rujui8kqlm4cql/c3%20-%201920x1080.exe

The later isn't 100% needed but I like to run it in that resolution.

    Step 1a) Copy the c3 - 1920x1080.exe file to your Caesar 3 installation folder. It should be the same folder as the c3.exe file is located in.
