Installing and playing Caesar II with DosBox, I noticed that the mouse cursor moves on the X axis much faster than on the Y axis.

For playability, this would be much better if left, right, up, and down all moved at the same speed.

Any thoughts on how to correct?

Yeah, there's a setting in your dosbox config that you can set.

Try adjusting the sensitivity, and lacking that, see if there's an issue tracked by Vogons.

Oh, and is this Dosbox Vanilla or one of the actually interesting flavors?

Thanks for the reply!

Sensitivity is set to 100, so I bumped higher to 200, then 300, and this setting doesn't seem to fix the issue. No matter the sensitivity, it seems to move half speed when moving the mouse up/down as compared to left/right. Maybe this is an original design feature of the game?

This is just the DosBox version that comes bundled with the game, I'm assuming vanilla as can be.

Let's try something weird and a bit throwaway: Just off nothing, give Staging a try and see if it works better there. Don't do anything complicated just make a shortcut to Staging and drag the executable atop it.

Found the issue.

Disabled system-end mouse acceleration.

DISABLE MOUSE ACCELERATION
Try disabling the “enhance pointer precision” option. To do this, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointer Options, then make sure that “Enhance pointer precision” is un-checked, and click OK.

Odd. But okay.
