I've played all 3 and they are awesome. Haven't played in a long time though. It's amazing how they can grab hold of you and pull you in so deep that you play for 30 minutes and WOAH, 5 hours have passed.

I'm a fan of 1 and 2, but the Master of Orion series and Alpha Centauri both show how much else can be done in the genre that Civilization III was laughable to me at best. It's almost as if they were hoping that nobody would notice the improvements and innovations other games had made, but since I had, I couldn't go back to the old formula. That, and Civilization III was much less aggressive. Not that I think that attacking people should be the only strategy in a game, but it should at least be a viable strategy. Take Alpha Centauri. You could win in ways other than conquest, such as by being elected Supreme Leader or cornering the energy market. These are all ways that you very well could win with, and they can even trump combat if played right. You may be fighting a losing war, but with the right diplomacy and defensive tactics it is possible to get elected supreme leader. But then again if someone is planning to be supreme leader it is possible to take your troops and crush them into the ground. I don't always win by force, but I like having the option of winning by force. Having a game as ridiculously defensive as Civilization III just gets stupid.

I liked Civ I the best. Though personally I like Age of Empires II. I'm just not really used to the turn based system.

I have Civilisation 2 which I am hooked on but the only draw back is the music its so repetative. Okay the graphics are not the best but its so interesting.

CIV III did me more harm that good (oh, the wasted hours), but what about Elite? What about Frontier: Elite 2? What about Elite 4 that will be out...eventually?

Then again; the problem with games such as CIV is the the player is limited by the mind of the designer. I can't wait for the CIV game that gives a true; reactionary freedom in the game.

Civ is good. Alpha Centauri is excellent. Both are very addictive! I like Alpha Centauri because, while some of the factions and ideas are a bit ridiculous, you can customize just about anything. And not to mention there are techs I've never even discovered, base facilities and secret projects I've never even built... there's just so much in that game. It's impossible to get bored of it.

Civilization III is better with the Conquest. Have any tried the Conquest? True Conquest should have been Civ 3 the start with but I feel this expansion makes Civ3 over the top of Civ 2.

CivilizationIII is fustrating when you don't have gold,that lady talks to you all the time.

 

[Pope Gonzo]

I've played every Civ game except CTP2 (and Civ III: PTW)

Civ II was the first computer game I ever played, I love the whole series, but Civ II will always be my fav.

Great! When is it coming out?

 

[Hitokiri Shadow]

I used to play Civ II. But now I've graduated to Age of Empires II.

 

[Proud Hindu]

Both are great games IMO, they're the "classics" of strategy games.

I mean no offense to Civ players. I would like to play CivIII. I like the combat in Age of Empires better.

You will probably like Rise of nations especially with expansion. It plays a lot like Age of Empires with a touch of civilization to it. the single player camp is the combine of Risk and RTS. The expansion has four different campaigns while the first just had one : the world map. The weakest part of RoN is the special units of each nation not really all that special. they seem to be very careful keeping all nation balance.

I play Civilization 3, but prefer age of empries more.

 

[Raithlin]

I always seem to have Civ on my pc. I played Civ I to death, then got Civ II, and recently Civ III - and am still playing.

Civ III seems to suit my playing style better, as I'm doing much better than I did in Civ II - or is that just me?

I've also tried AoE, as well as Alpha Centauri, but I always come back to Civ. My RTS game of choice is Red Alert 2. No flames please.

 

[Lionheart_03]
