In my mind, Civilization 3 was one of the best video games ever devised. Besides Civ 3, the pc games that I used to play often were Rise of Nations, Warcraft, and Command & Conquer Generals In comparison to these pc games, the one thing I didn’t like about Civilization 3 was that it was a turn-based game. As playing a mutliplayer game with other people is not possilbe. Multiplayer Gaming Experience is definitely one of the great pleasures of playing pc games, as you play against real people than some Artificial Intelligence.

Some of the Civilizations that I played most often in Civilization 3 were the Chinese, the Romans, and the Americans. The above 3 were most often civilizations, and I never played random, I always picked one of the 3 civilizations to play. Civilization 3 game itself is easy, and most people should pick up the game promptly without issues. As it is turn based, I remember I even went and had my dinner, and when I came back it was still other player’s turn. On slow PCs, the game would take quite long to load. The first part of the game is tedious, as you don’t have that much resources, and what little resources you have gets used up pretty quickly, but once you get to middle ages things get pretty fast, and it around this part that I enjoy the game most.

Culture had always been an intriguing part of civilization 3, and I tried my best to expand my culture and have other cities switch to my sides.If you don’t want you citizens to switch sides, you have to make sure that your people are happy. Compared to Red Alert 2 or Age of Empires, Civilization 3 has no comparable battle scenes, but it is nonetheless fun to watch small tank battles. To me, one of favorite units in Civilization 3 is tank.

After Civ 3 was released, expansion packs like Conquests and Play of the World were released. A newer version of Civilization 3 called Civilization 4 was introduced and it had expansion packs of its own. I was in college at this time, and playing games wasn’t really at the top of my priority. At this point, I am hearing rumors of Civ 5.
