I'm playing Civ IV now, but I think I prefer Civ III over it. I don't know why exactly, maybe just for nostalgic reasons, but it also has a certain simplicity, yet complexity to it. It's alot easier to see which units are yours, and which are other civilization's. I don't like the religion system in Civ IV neither, I just do free religion when I get the chance and let the cities decide.
I remember playing this game when I was like, 10. It was beautiful. I remember this piece so well. it's just stayed in my head. It lead me to Civ 4, and I've loved all of it's mods.
what is the name of this peice? i would like to find more of this, every time i hear this in civ4 (BTS expansion plays this) i remember my years and years of playing civ3 for hours on end...sigh...but then i tech up and the age is over and the music is gone! noooooo
@xXKyledkXx - Well there are like 5 ancient era tracks. If you want I could upload all of them to youtube with their correct names. I have them on my ipod, lol.
What are you talking about best stradegy game! It was buggy, I've played games where new resources would never appear before the patch. Not only that battle ships would lose to ancients ships. No, this game had numerous flaws.
@tragicblackness It's based on stats/odds, not what units look like. I found it worse in Civ 4. I charge people with 5+ elephants with better atack/def stats and one tiny little unit klils 3 of them at least.
"Meier found that players who enjoyed 3:1 odds were surprised if they lost. If a player faced 2:1 odds, they could accept losing a few times – but if the odds were presented as 20:10, they expected to win almost every time. "
@Imhornydadcomeinside You defeated my Spearman with an axe? Dammit! I lost the city! I'm in denial because my spearman was better armed and armored! >: /
It does sort of sound like the drum line from 4000 degrees Kelvin
Russia:Remember when I had my tanks around your capital city and I was all like "goodbye" and you were all like "No way" and I was like "we pretended we were going to murder you" that was great!
@poopcritic and remember that time you begged for peace and gave me everything you had and i took it and then i killed you anyway and you were like "dude you promised" and i was like "yeah but im German".
what I really hated is that when you're still like less than halfway through the ancient era, all the AI's are already in the middle ages :S, but at the end they always get pwnt :)
my dad would play this game on his laptop when i was like 3, and i would watch / co-play with him, and lol, whenever my guy died i was like nooooo! not faiiiiiirr! and i was like crying lol, xD
i used to miss playing civ 3 when i play civ 4 (lost my copy of civ3). but when i started getting the hang of civ4 i could no longer go back to civ3. just awesome in so many many levels
Civ III is the best in my opinion. I think they ruined the game by adding all those "improvements" to it. I don't like the complete 3d feel to it either...just not civilizations style. (revolutions was even worse)
YOU can't even make pro grade mods with civ4 the stress laod is already to high for basic shit. Civ3 has every unit that ever saw war on a flavour scale (divided betweenn 31 civs)
Corruption, pollution and all that shit was fixed proper with new expansion imps a year ago. Took only 3 years of game designers volentering their time and taxin the editer but now civ3.5 is civ4
excuse me pleaze,I see many clips on youtube speaking about Civ3 themes,ok but I've got Civilization III and their 2 extensions (originals cd's,not copies) I've no music so I put my mp3's song.
so much nostalgia
