Bug#806989: game-data-packager: add support for "Caesar III" playable with CaesarIA engine

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 43
Severity: wishlist
Tags: newcomer


As usual, the assets should go in /usr/share/games/caesariii
or even /usr/share/games/caesaria; but obviously not
under /home/$user/games/caesaria; so the engine may
first need some patching or even proper packaging
if someone is interrested.
