man... the amount of time i spent with civ3
it was my first entry into the franchise

[ykrupertbob]

I think you made me wake up my neighbors with how hard I laughed at that restart. Loved civ3, mostly because it's what was there.

[glenndiddy]

Starting on an island on a pangea map is just what makes civ 3 great

[stellarconcealment]

I played Civ 2 the most as a kid, but something about Civ 3's music was so chill.

[Chudsmash]

My dad still plays this civ exclusively

All 3s are good. Tropico 3, Caesar 3 and Civ 3.

Back in the early 00s when gaming magazines were still around, I saw a review of Civ3 (nearly perfect score) and that was my introduction to the series. I spent so many hours in this game, even though I always played on easy and didn't know what I was doing. So this game has a special place in my heart. Later on I watched one of my friends play civ2 on the playstation (of all things lol) and that was cool too, but civ3 is my jam. The instruction manual was like a real book. Oh anyone remembers those? I miss gaming manuals.

Civ 3 might have been my 1st experience of firing up the game at 10PM on a school night and then suddenly realizing it's 5AM and I have an exam in 3 hours - JUST ONE MORE TURN.

[jaynoyes]

Civ3 will always be my favorite. I still play it regularly

[Kasrkin]

Started with CIV 2 on the Playstation, had to use an entire memory card for it, played it on PC and never looked back, got CIV III when I first went out in the local town with friends, and spent the best part of my afterschool evenings playing this game and melting my PC, just one more turn, this video has brought back some memories :)

I hope more people find your channel. I really enjoy your content and how you present it, very enjoyable! My fav is still Civ IV. Leonard Nimoy need I say more? Awesome stuff!

[tan_padeusz]

the music... the music is etched in my brain...

[nickm]

Now *this* gave me some serious nostalgia, man. I've beat the hell out of Civ IV, V, and VI as a young adult. But when I was a kid, I played months and months of Civ III. I can remember the smell of my dad's old office, the click-clack of the ancient keyboard, the hum of the monitor, and getting in trouble for sneaking koolaid from the fridge, cuz mom was downstairs doing laundry.
Yep, sold. I'll grab it and play it through again.

[JustMe-iwev]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who would restart when the game generation process failed me lol

[matcauthon]

If you want a quick game, try Sid difficulty . I did that once and got wiped out by a tank invasion on about turn 80 . Loved Civ III

[hairharbor]

you can auto sort the city worked tiles by clicking the city square itself while in the city menu. Also if you don't want to have to do that in each city you can just adjust the happiness slider which is right below your science slider on the Domestic Advisor menu.

[babybornas]

Played a lot of the gog's version, love how it works out of the box on all my PC's / laptops and how easy it is to just download and start playing wherever I am, especially when resting after work on some business trips :D

[mdkramster]

"Civ 3 is difficult." I wonder if this will spark the Dark Souls crew to pop over and start spouting "git gud" at you.

[Robbedem]

It's actually better to have your cities overlap one or two squares. By the time the city is large enough for it to matter, you're in the late game anyway. And the benefit for having more cities and the other players not being able to put cities between yours lasts for much longer.

[Legamis]

I loved civ 3 so much and most often I picked French or German. To me they were the best for what I wanted anyway. I loved how the discovery of resources really made you want to fight for them. 😁
