Civilization 3

Strategy and Wargaming Game from Infogrames, by Firaxis Games

Turn-based strategy/ god sim developed with the aid of Sid Meier. It incorporates advances in all areas over Civilization 2, most notably in graphics, new features and innovations in gameplay. Like its predecessors, this game offers a huge amount of depth. Players begin by choosing a civilization and guiding it over the years. There are four eras to work through (Ancient, Middle Ages, Industrial and Modern). The gameplay involves resource management, constructing buildings including wonders, developing new technologies and expanding territory through conquest and diplomacy. The game is played on an isometric landscape with 3D terrain (3D acceleration is not required). The all-new interface is easy to use. A map editor is incorporated.
