I would say that it is a safe bet by now that most gamers have at the very least heard of this game. The question is, is this game worth playing over any of the ones that came before it?

Well, I recently fired this bad boy back up to see just how well it held up and after a solid weekend of playing, it holds up very well. As is the case with all the games in the series, your goal in Civilization 3 is to rise from the stone age all the way up to the modern age. It is a goal that is pretty much standard in all the Civilization games along with many other games of this style.

The thing is, it never gets old and that is certainly the case here too. It is up to you where your civilization will start, but the game does give you a fair few choices such as America, England, Germany, and so on. I always like to pick England for some reason, but it is worth changing things up If you play through the game multiple times as there are differences depending on where you start. I do have to state that as I write this the game is the better part of 20 years old.

They have released a newer version on Steam, but even so. Civilization 3 is a game that does show its age in terms of the presentation. The historical figures are cool and I like how you can zoom in and out of the map. However, the whole game is not exactly what you would call easy on the eyes if I am being brutally honest.

Thankfully, Civ 3 is a game that is not trying to get by on its looks. It is fair to say that even those who have a passing interest in this genre know the basics of what games like this are about. It is the gameplay that makes this and the other games in the series so addictive. You always need to be moving your civilization forward and how you do this is pretty grand. You need to build buildings, keep your people happy, deal with neighboring civilizations, go to war, make trades, and improve so much that you progress through the ages.

Entering a new era after you have done the right amount of research is always a very exciting aspect of the game.

Going to war is a bit bland if I am being honest, but it is something that has to be done. Winning is tough as the AI in this game is freaking brutal and makes very few mistakes or mistimed moves. I am always going to be partial to Civilization 3 as it was the game that introduced me to the series. However, as good as this game is and as much as I enjoyed my recent playthrough of it.

I will admit that I do feel that the newer games, Civilization 6 for prime example are probably better for people who are new to the series. For those of you who like me did enjoy Civ 3 back in the day, you will be pleased to know that going back and playing this game is still a lot of fun. It's a somewhat overlooked fact, but while we've all been busy crowbarring our eyes back into our sockets after marvelling at the next generation of FPSs, two behemoth strategy games have been heading for a confrontation of truly epic proportions over the next couple of months.

Both span thousands of years of human history and centre around building a powerful and prosperous nation. Needless to say then, that when they finally do face off against each other over the next couple of months, it won't be your average girlie hair-pulling, knuckle-biting and open-handed slapping contest, but an all-out brawl involving pickaxes through craniums.

From the brief time I had with the Civ III beta code, it was more than obvious that Firaxis has taken on board criticisms from CIV II and implemented them to create a truly sublime and totally immersive gaming experience. For starters, you'll be pleased to know that the copious and annoying pulldown menus which blighted Civ 2 and made it about as visually appealing as a run-over head, have been replaced by intuitive icons dotted helpfully around the screen, which will make the series much more accessible to newcomers previously scared off by the game's daunting complexity.

And that's just for starters. Many screenshots were also released thru gaming sites and magazines. You can find more than high quality screenshots from the final version of the game in our Screenshots Gallery. The Info Center contains more than 30 pages of Civ3 information, all indexed by topics!

There are also new terrain graphics, new wonders of the world, and extra units WW2, Dino, Medieval Japan.

It was published in by Atari. This expansion added seven new civilizations to the game, as well as including the eight civilizations from Play the World, bringing the total number of playable civilizations up to thirty-one. Two new special civilization traits are added: seafaring and agricultural. New governments Feudalism and Fascism have also been added to the game, along with new Wonders of the World such as the Statue of Zeus and the Mausoleum of Mausollos. Unlike the epic game, these scenarios took much less time to play and focused on a specific period in history.

Here are the key features of Civilization III: More interactions, alliances and realistic artificial intelligence responses put players in the middle of negotiations, trade systems and diplomatic actions.
