I purchased this game for a classroom assignment. My class is studying to be Elementary Education teachers, and we are experimenting with this game to see the value of entertainment in education. This game has several important lessons to learn about social studies in general, but the added benefit of enjoyment helps motivate the students toward learning much more than any assignment which would not involve fun.

Back-up for previously owned Civ 3 game. Still prefer the old Civ 2: TOT version. Less graphics, but better play.
A unique and fabulous game! January 22, 2008

I really like Civilization III for several reasons. It is very fun and addictive, but can be frustrating here and there. All in all YOU HAVE TO BUY IT!! It can be frustrating because you have a very good chance of losing when you attack enemy units during wars. So lets say your Elite Musketman attacks an ememy regular, and even though you have more stamina and your foe has a lot less, the computer will still win. My advice is to resist the urge to attack during wars. If you wait until they attack, you will have a good chance of winning in most situations. For example, when your Regular Musketman is attacked by a stronger Elite Musketman, suprisingly, you win.
I recommend not to buy Civilization IV. I haven't bought it, but it's more expensive and I've heard it has alot of bugs. It may not work, especially if you have a 5 year old computer like I do.
In Civilization III it is very cool to run your country. You get to research technologies, defeat your enemies, and build your culture. There are many conquests [scenarios] that relive real events that occured in History, such as the fall of Rome. Frequenty in battle weird things will happen like this: Stone age men will beat your Rifle men, though over all it's a wonderful game! A final word: It's even educational! Go to the Civilipedia, and then go to tribes and click on one of the nations and it tells you all about the history of that nation.
Civ 3 Conquests is the Best Game Ever December 7, 2007

I was first introduced to the Civilization series about 12 years ago by my ex-girlfriend. The girlfriend is long gone, but I still play Civ regularly. as a matter of fact, it is the only computer game that I play now. My wife is required to tolerate Civ.
It is a turn based game, so you don't have to worry about moving quickly.
It is a thinking person's game the strategy can get detailed and complex if you choose.
The games last very long, it probably takes about 24 hours of playing time to play a game from the dawn of civilization to the future. However you can save your games and pick up right where you left off.
It has a multiplayer function, but that is rarely used, it is hard to coordinate schedules with others for that long a period of time.
Civ 4 came out about a year or 2 ago, but I don't like it as much as Civ 3. There are plenty of resources on the internet discussing this game and its strategies. It has a significant cult following.
I'd recommend this game for anyone who is interested in strategy games.
