Diplomacy is pretty much broken and the AI never accepts your fair proposals, making the entire game mechanic obsolete. AI obviously cheats in harder difficulties so you’ll have to play in specific strategies in order to win rather than a flexibility on strategies. Don’t build enough cities or invest enough in technology, you may find yourself in an unwinnable state. Firstly, some early strategies have too much influence on your fate. There are some aspects I did not really like though. You start in ancient times, build cities, research technologies, conquer other civilizations. There are many civilizations to choose from but they are diverse enough to offer unique gameplay. You decide the rules (map, weather, victory conditions etc.) and start your custom game which can easily take dozens of hours. I’ve had the feeling it plays very much like a board game and I wouldn’t be surprised if Civilization series were heavily influenced by them. You lose concept of real life and time and end up playing for several hours non-stop. It’s an aesthetically beautiful time sink and similar to Heroes of Might and Magic and X-COM (although mechanically I would say Civilization is more similar to Settlers), it hypnotizes you every time you play it. As a newcomer, take my review with a grain of salt since there may be some concepts I did not fully comprehend.Ĭivilization III had big ups and downs. I chose Civilization III as my first Civilization game because I wanted to see how the series evolved over the time.
