Ozymandias (Julius): adapting a city-building engine to Pharaoh

Ozymandias (Julius) adapts the Julius/Augustus city-building engine to run Pharaoh and its Cleopatra expansion using the player's original assets. The unfinished implementation loads original saves and supports early campaign missions, with systems including houses, farming, trading and campaign progression.
