The webpage is from 2004 and the link to Dragon2's tools is misleading nowadays. It works fine with Windows XP (and likely with Vista, too, I guess).

Maybe this little tool can still be useful for some scenario design purposes or even for the ongoing projects, so here is the download link: Seeing all the efforts being made to program editing tools and post format specifications, I think the cheating argument doesn't hold anymore. The predominant opinion at that time was that such a tool should not be made publicly available because it could be used for cheating in contests. The download link has never been posted anywhere else. I don't have access to that specific sub-forum anymore and don't know if it's still there.

C3GameExplorer was beta-tested by Caesar Philon and posted in 2004 in the 'Designer' sub-forum of CBC. I gathered some insight to Caesar 3's saved game file format when I programmed the Mac-PC-Converter and a little tool for scenario designers, which I called 'C3 Game Explorer', some years ago. Scenario designers have an interest in editing saved games to go beyond the possiblities of the official editor and not all details of the file format that could be useful seem to have been uncovered yet. At its 10th birthday Caesar 3 seems to receive more attention from file format analysts and graphics modders than ever before. Well, I'm enjoying the current discussion about file editing tools.
