Civilization 3 Computer Game Chat

Civ 3 was one strategy game that I played the most. I started playing Civilization 3 when I was in 11th grade in school, and I was hooked. After coming home from school, I went straight to my computer and played Civilization 3 for seven straight hours. In fact, because of Civilization 3 my family and I had some serious arguments.My father used to get quite agitated seeing me play the game almost obsessively. Things got even worse in summer or holidays as he used to see me just play and not even eat any meals, because I was too busy playing the game. 

I think, Civilization 3 was one of the best strategy games ever devised. Besides Civ 3, the video games that I used to play frequently were Black and White, Medieval 2 Total War, and Command & Conquer In contrast to these video games, the one item I didn’t like about Civilization 3 was that it was a turn-based game. Thus, playing a multiplayer game is a hassle and if not impossilbe. Multiplayer Gaming Experience is definitely one of the great pleasures of playing games, as you play against real people than some Artificial Intelligence. 

Some of the Civilizations that I played most often in Civilization 3 were the Persians, the Babylonians, and the Americans. The above 3 were most often civilizations, and I never played random, I always picked one of the 3 civilizations to play. Civilization 3 game itself is easy, and most people should pick up the game very fast. The turn based system can take forever as you have to wait for other players to make a decision. Since PCs around 2003 weren’t fast, and on top of that, if you had a slow computer during those times, the game would take forever to load. The game is more fun during the middle ages, as you have quite a few resources and technology, and as such you can successfully wage wars.

Culture had always been an intriguing part of civilization 3, and I tried my best to expand my culture and have other cities switch to my sides.For border areas, it is important that they are happy, and if they aren’t they might switch allegiance. Even though you don’t have a lot of graphic fights in Civilization 3, you do get to see some small fights, especially when you are trying to take over a city. To me, one of favorite units in Civilization 3 is tank.

After sometime Civilization 3 was released, it was followed by numerous expansion packs like Conquests, and Play of the world. A newer version of Civilization 3 called Civilization 4 was introduced and it had expansion packs of its own. This time of my life was one of my busines, as I was in college so I never played the game. Now, I am hearing rumors of Civilization V, and I can’t wait for it. I don’t know when the game will be released, but when it will I will be one of the first to get it and play the game.
