Civilization 3? Any good?

Anyone own this? I loved Civ 2, absolutely adored it, and
Alpha Centuri was good, so hopefully in 45 minutes or so
I'll have this... hopefully it'll be good... I love this
type of gaming though, so addictive!!

i played it, i hated it. it gets to be annoying when each
turn is 40 minutes long due to watching every single unit
move. its also annoying when the enemy pikemen can wipe out
your tanks, infantry, and air support.

fair enough... but are you a fan of any of the civ games?
See I loved Civ 2, so I figure I should like this one... how
much different can ti be?

i wish i knew. civ 3 was the first civ i played. but usually
i like stuff like that. i ate lunch while my turn was
processing all the movements of my troops. and no matter how
technologically advanced you get, the enemies pikemen will
always win.

great game. don't get it, tho, it's more addictive than civ
2

btw, you can turn off the graphic movements of all units, in
order to save time.

download the patches for more realistic combat, you'll see
no pikeman beating up tanks nemore

I played the original on my 386 a fair bit... kind of game
where you'd finish a game and discover that its 5am in the
morning and that you'd been playing it all night!

of early mornings like that :)

Yes: I own it
Yes: It's good.

Absolutely loved Civ II, and Civ III was simply the same,
only a little better in many different ways. The trading
system is much more complex and usefull. For example, horses
appears like a natural resource (like gems and stuff from
Civ II) so you can only make horsemen, if you have horses in
your territorry, or traded it from someone else...

But youll find out soon enough. very very good game, in my
oppinion.

this is true, without patching Civ III is barely
playable............toooooo frustrating
