I can't believe how recent this video is. I thought my brother & I were the only people left playing Civ 3!

Hey Suede. I know you probably aren't getting the most views or anything from making content about a game that's almost 20 years old, but I really do appreciate these guides. Civ 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, I've sunk thousands of hours into it, and I'm still learning tips from your channel. So thanks, really.

Not gonna lie... I was always hesitant to disband because the military advisors always looked so scared.

I've been playing Civ 6 for awhile now with over 4000 hours logged and got bored. I decided to fire up Civ III (for which I had to buy an external cd drive for because I still have the original Complete Edition) and had a blast playing my most played game as a kid.

I decided to look on YouTube and lo and behold there is a Civ III YouTuber with recent content! Absolutely amazing dude! Keep on trucking. Subbed.

Suede: "your supposed to listen to your advisors right? but no"
Me: "the only advisor you need to listen to is, "
Domestic Advisor: "build more cities!"

Me: "in most circumstances, this is true. Dang the domestic advisor knows what he's talking about!"

In all civ games i sometimes struggle with expanding because I've played so much Civ 5 where playing Tall is much better than Wide. (Civ 5 i usually never make more than 4 cities, which that strat doesnt translate to other games well)

This guide really helped me in getting back into this game! This was the first game my father ever showed me when I was like 4, so many great memories of watching him play then playing with him as I got older. After over a decade I decided to get back into this game, and there is so much I need to learn again lol.

Your content is really good. I hope you get to grow your channel in time, so keep it up!

[CommanderRedVega]

I like the intro but when I saw the corner and read "-37 Gold Per turn" followed by actively researching "Economics (7 Turns)" I just snorted and burst out laughing and said "You better rush that shit real quick". Lmao

Civ 1 was my first introduction to the series. I have a vague memory of playing it on my parents IBM laptop with black and white screen. Later we got a desktop with colour screen and cd rom and I remember playing Civ 3 on that a lot. After that i did not get interested in the new Civ games at all. I am going to get Civ 3 again now catch some childhood fun.

after having the game sit in my steam profile undownloaded for about a year i downloaded it on a whim. first civ game, "how hard could regent be?" i thought. got my ass beat for about 6 hours! your guides were the first i found that didn't just kind of go in and out my ears, really helpful and engaging content you got! hope to see your channel and the civ iii community grow!

[zockerhoernchen]

Thanks for the tips. Currently preparing a Let's Play Project for my chan' and your guide(s) are really helpful. I remember back then, when we had to figure this stuff out on our own, or be reaaaally geeky about the (hidden) mechanics.

[StanLazaridis]

Hi Suede, this is both so interesting and entertaining. Playing CivIII now for 20 years, I appreciate a lot what you are doing here. And I'm still learning...

[craigrobbins]

It's amazing how quickly he's made my regent games so much easier just with simple understanding of the game mechanics.

[billyhunter]

Thanks x1000 for your guides. Civ VI is sitting on my computer and I’ve been revisiting III since buying it on GOG. I appreciate the complexities that are hidden in the relatively simplistic, board game like setup.

[sunnyboi]

I want to thank you for making these informational videos. I wish I had these when I first played and slowly fell in love with the game years ago. It would have saved so much headache.

[joshuamcmillan]

I think it would be really cool to see a series where saves are critiqued, as long as people can handle the critique. Some people might view it as a personal attack when it's really just a game and there are optimal ways to play. I know I'm not the most optimized and it would be interesting to see where my play could improve. Nice vid!

[loganhollingsworth]

I'm so glad videos are still being made for this game, helps a ton thanks

[actionhanz]

i was about to get into this game and after opening the manual i thought i should first check if there is an old youtube video about it. and here you are making videos about this 18 years after it's release. :D nice. thanks
