My Favorite Game of All Time
Civ 3 improved so much over civ 2 and remains my favorite game of my all-time favorite series. Pros: Military upkeep is mostly in gold in this game, leading to larger centralized armies and less micromanagement than civ2 . Unlike later civ games, there is no happiness penalty for having too many cities, so you can have a huge empire in civ3, that is not possible in later civ games. Map editors allows you to write your perfect scenario. Cons: Diplomacy and trade sucks. Trade is one-sided and you need to sell all your techs or you quickly will fall behind. Other civs move through each others lands freely, but if one of your worker enters another civs territory, they act like it is a war crime. Strategic resources add a lot of fun, but are scarce in this game. If you don't play a balanced map or conquer your neighbors, you will be missing one or more necessary resources to build a competitive army. Overall I highly recommend this game, best of all turn based strategy games. Civ 4 and Civ 5 added some good features that this game doesn't have, but this game was more way more fun.
