@Resolution1983 i agree, so far civ 2 and 4 are the ebst in my opinion. although i can't really be the judge, ebcause those are the only ones i've played....
Civ3 used to be a lot cooler. Just, the fact that leader's attire changed with the ages was more than enough to make it cooler than anything ever since.
Civ 4 is the best of all the Civs, but it is a complicated game so I think it helps to have played Civ 2 or 3 first. I bet new players who picked up Civ 4 felt overwhelmed at first. Civ 5 reverted backwards and is too simple, IMO.
@OshawaStateOfMind Hah, if you think Civ 3 had an unfair combat system you should try Civ 1 ... god, I hate attacking a phalanx with my tank only to hear that dreaded *clunk* ..... arrg.
@antred11 Civ III got a bad rep with it's combat system, I think it's actually better than Civ IV in pure combat (not including the upgrade portion). If you guys are losing tanks to spearman than maybe you shouldn't attack your conscript tanks against Elite Spearmen...I dunno, I never had much of a problem with it.
This brought back memories, thanks! I don't see this intro anymore, since I now play with Conquests whenever I revisit civ3.
I remember buying this game at full price, and then not being able to play it properly on my PC because it only had 64 meg ram or somesuch! I still struggled through my first game as the persians and got owned by the zulus and lost when someone got a diplomatic victory.
ive been off this game for a good 7 years and my cousin introduced me to civilizations revolutions and im hooked again...i tried to get off but it kept pullling me back in... (sad face) its so addicting
Lets Play the Philosophy Video Game !! Lets shut down the Currency in every country, and we better the world by establishing farms and growing trees for shelter.
The tower symbolises that each generation builds upon the work of those that have lived before them. I've always liked this video for that. Still, I think the Play the World video is even better.
That is only a matter of opinion. I, myself, prefer the music to this opening for Civilization III compared to Civilization IV. This opening for Civilization III has a more epic and serious type of nature to it then Yeti.
I got this game right after grade school; before that I played single-player pseudo-civ games using uno stacko(cultural borders) lego duplo(units, buildings, cities) used AA batteries(nukes!) and laser pointers(SDI). I remember having so much fun that a single game would last a few days! You can imagine how excited I was when I got my copy of civ3 and first saw this video.
This intro was an original idea, what with the tower and all, but it turned out rather dull... it just didn't have any of that cinematic beauty as the Call to Power series always had.
can i anyone help me i play the game and make it to the Modern age but can never get the good troops in the back no matter how maney times it just ends in like 2004 or something like that for me i cant when i fisrt got it i got as far as the battle ship can u make the game like annilhation
It actually represents the tower of babylon (name) from the bible. The people tryed to reach for the heavens, but god dismissed the idea of sin being in his haven, so he destoryed it and made the humans seperate by launguage and religon.
i absolutely love this game but i can never get past the industrial age because all the othe civs start taking advantage of me and get together to wipe me out :(
I'm sorry to hear that. It used to happen to me too, then i found that if you make a big army in the beginning you might have a chance to win, also if you have a lot of gold then try to give some (very little ) to the other Civilizations as a gift. I hope that helps. I don't really know how to let someone i just do it on the computer.
It is turn-based game, its about rising a civilization, but its not all about war, you also control your population, gov, economy,resources,trades whit another civs,infrastructure if you just want a simple war game go buy age of empires xD.
i personally liked it, its pretty addictive for most stragedy lovers.
@royceoytube Yeah i stooped playing it like a year ago but i still want to play it I am way to lazy to get up and get the CD and suave it in the computer LOL!!!
I was just playing the game and one of the in-game songs reminded me of a tune that goes like"ba da bada bow de bow or something like that...not sure about the name though :(
The video *is* actually a reference to the building of the Tower of Babel, if you take a careful look at the architecture, and the many "popular" depictions.
Also, make of the further information what you will: Pieter Bruegel's painting "The Tower of Babel" (1563) is used for the cover art; and the advance of "Monotheism" is represented by the all-seeing eye.
Luciferian symbology has an interesting way of hiding in plain sight.
Hopefully Civ IV is better than III - otherwise there would be no progress!? ;=)
However in Civ IV i really missed the possiblity to remove or evacuate a city. Civ III had this, and already for III i wished any regular gameplay option to move/relocate a city at least one square anyhow - in particular related on resources that apprear over the ages.
@jpheitman Totally... :( and i was so hyped when i first heard of it. Now im trying to mod the hell out of my civ iv so i can play it again as a fresh game :)
ah takes be back to 2002 when i first brought this game. been addicted to this game ever since. Civ 3 was my entry into the series love it. i have Civ 4: beyond the sword it's a nice game.
