I really enjoy this game and it is one of my all time favorite video games ever it may be old but i still love this game i think this game is way better then civ 4 the only thing about this game is its not for every one u need lots of game experience and lots of patience onte time i spent over thity hours on one game unfortunately my computer broke and it was lost forever and i was never able to finish it. i give this game a five star rating.
For those of us that get motion sick playing player point of view games, I still love these older turn based games. I have Civilization 4, but find myself playing Civ 3 more. I also appreciate the fact that random games generate a different game each time so you never get bored.
Well, I am new to turn based strategy games so it is alot different than what I am used to. I started on the easiest level and played for hours only to have the whole world declare war on me and crush my civilization. I read the manual that came with the game and read alot of reviews, most people say to just play the game and you will learn as you go. This is very true in my case. The more I play the better I get at managing resources, allocating more money to science so I can research and advance faster and building up an army without overspending on my budget per turn.It is a fun game with alot of different civilizations to play with and many different routes to take in research to get where you want to be technologically. I would recommend trying this game but be warned, it takes many, many hours of your time just to play on the default settings which I believe is 500 turns before the game ends.
I started playing Civilization 3 about when it first came out and then upgraded to the Conquests expansion some time later. From the first it was a very addicting game, though I did always find myself wanting a better and more tactical combat experience - this did not take away from my overall enjoyment of the game, however. With the separate releases I found that the game would begin to work more and more slowly as I progressed though a game, this problem seems to have been addressed in the "Complete Edition", however as even once the whole map has been settled I have noticed no slowing down whatsoever, and the game moves just as quickly as it did at game-start.
Turns out you need the original disk installed in your CD/DVD-ROM drive in order for the game to work. The price was right for Civ3 and it required less horsepower than Civ4, so I went for it. After getting addicted to Civilization Revolution on my iPhone, I decided to get the real Civ for my netbook. This makes Civ3 utterly useless for the netbook crowd since our drives aren't built in and many of us don't carry it along. I had to use an external CD/DVDROM drive for my Asus to install it under WinXP.At first, all was great because I still had the CD-ROM drive attached. But then when I removed it to go for a trip, Civ3 suddenly stopped working. Bummer.Great game. Lousy copy protection.
