It’s quite a time since Sid Meier imagined and created
Civilization I – the most advanced and complex strategy game ever created. Now we have
Civilization 3 in stores. Even more advanced, very rich in options, and finally – with really improved graphics
J “The Way of Strategy” is still the only game’s passion, and still highly appreciated by players.
Civilization requires sharp decisions from players now. It became really harder to complete the easiest difficulty level. Computer opponents make more warriors and advance faster, therefore I recommend you to start playing from the easiest level to learn multiple improvements and changes. You will feel what I mean on your own skin after first several hundred years have passed!
As always, it’s up to you to decide whether you wish to advance your people to almost god heights, or to battle all neighbors and join their tribes to your nation. It can be probably a similar tribe too, if you've played not smart enough, hehe
Here are some features I consider really great and want to point to:
a) Interface became a bit easier to control your “very very big and very mighty” (repeat 3 times as mantra) Empire
Jb) Units can get diseased!
c) Peace can be even more peaceful now - more political deals in your inventory. This adds to the number of possible game endings.
P.S. I don’t recommend you to use cheats first times you play the game. You might easy lose an interest to this magnificent game. Be patient and smart to find easy enough ways of strategy keeping you from using cheat codes.
P.P.S. I must admit I still play my beloved
Civilization II from time to time ;-) People are still using bicycles after cars were invented ;-)
