      This is one of my favourite games from my early PC owning years, my early twenties, and during a miserable time in my third year of university it provided some relief from real life. The original Civ, which I played when aged 11, certainly gave me fond memories and I think each game in the series has a strong abillity to do that largely thanks to the great music.

    Civ III still has a certain level of charm to it ... just some of the things with the interface and the menus and so on are outdated. I actually sort of still like how the map looks it's more of a simplified strategic view and the angle and scale of the units in relation to the size of everything else on the rest of the map is just about perfect.

    • @danyoutube7491
      @danyoutube7491 Рік тому

      I've returned to Civ 2 and 3 in recent years (unfortunately with Civ 2 it was using online an emulation site and it doesn't have the wonder videos or marvellous digitised council of advisors; apparently one needs an original CD version to be running for those features) having been very unsatisfied with Civ 6. 5 and 6 don't really feel like true Civ games to me. I always liked the aesthetic of Civ 2 a lot but I think Civ 3 is a better game, and I've logged more hours in Civ 3 on Steam than I have in Civ 6. Of course I played it a heck of a lot more in the early 2000s, right up until Civ 4 came out. With Civ III I remember being impressed with the extra abilities it gave to some units, such as the legionary being able to build fortresses. I think it was the first one which added workers as well. I didn't get a PC until 2000, so my playing time with Civ 2 first time around was very limited, and I also only had the Test of Time version, bought at a budget price, which I don't think had the cool advisors on, though I saw them on my brother's version. This meant that Civ III felt like my first proper Civ purchase since my brother had bought Civilization in 1992 for our Amiga, and I was very excited about the new intro and graphical style. I had similar excitement about Civ 4, but Civ 5 was a great disappointment.

      I bought a more powerful laptop especially for playing Civilization III back in 2004. Then I played it nonstop for almost the whole day until I finished the game. The opening section was definitely the most exciting part until all the territory got split up between the parties. Later on the game started losing its steam, esp. supporting the overseas colonies was a major pain in the ass, and I finished the modern age up to the rocket launch only thanks to my willpower. Then I finally stood up and went to use the bathroom :D

    I played Civilization II on the very first PlayStation... was one of my favorites along with the first GTA and Metal Gear Solid.
    For whatever reason I never heard about this coming out for the PS1. Years later I had (still together) a great girlfriend who had a computer. So I played Civilization IV, really loved that game.
    These days I got Civilization VI on my iPad. It’s great but completely different, plus turns take a lot longer than on a computer.

    I didn't find out about Civ until Revolution came around. People consider it bad, and looking back, it was limited and unbalanced, but I had a hell of a time with it and it opened me up to an amazing franchise. Then I explored Civ 4, 5, and now 6. It's one of my favorite franchises now. I love how you can always change it up by playing differently. If you want to conquer the world, or win culturally, or have a supreme navy... whatever you want to do. I tried playing civ 3, but it wasn't as enjoyable. Seems too simplistic to me, and the interface confusing and aged. But I don't have the nostalgia glasses like most of you do.

      It's not pure nostalgia, I went back and played Civ III a couple of times within the last decade. At first I was a bit frustrated with the old interface, but a few years ago I got into it again having been underwhelmed and frustrated by Civ 6 and even though I've not played a Civ game in almost 2 years, Civ III is the one I played last and I've played that Steam version of it longer than I have Civ 6.

    This was my favorite civ until Civ V came out. What I miss most is the airfields and colonies you could establish. Why they didn't allow that in civ V is beyond me. Such a loss.

    • @danyoutube7491
      @danyoutube7491 Рік тому

      Civ V was a big disappointment to me, it doesn't quite feel like a real Civ game (nor does 6) and I was soon wondering why there were great features from earlier titles simply omitted. It was as if they hadn't bothered to play earlier titles. As you say, those features were really interesting and more realistic than building a city in a location purely to get hold of a resource or to have an airbase in a strategically important location. In gameplay terms having a city in remote locations is also often inconvenient as well as feeling unrealistic.

  • @xman666soad

    Biggest flaws in gameplay strategy.
    Not roaring every tile with your worker as soon as he moves into the tile, uses your worker for 3 turns but you were going to road any way, may as well be efficient.
    Speaking of efficiency, building normal warriors is better because -1) you produce them faster, 2) enemy AI civs don’t care about the type of unit only the number of units 3) expansion phase in the beginning is when you’re least likely to be attacked as long as you have 1-2 defensive units in your town (sometimes you don’t even neee them in your town just as long as they’re part of your fighting force is enough to deter ai

    • @danyoutube7491
      @danyoutube7491 Рік тому +1

      Cities don't take very long to expand from the original 8 tiles as I recall, all it takes is a bit of culture from things like a temple. Your maximum potential surroundings are certainly vital to consider because they will become relevant before very long, unless you are playing a game on a very small map and expect to win early or are playing multiplayer and expect players to be trying quick routes to beat their opponents.

      @RP_Williams 6 років тому +1

      That's ok if they have more cities, at first...just stay out of any wars (except when a neighbor is being overrun, then attack a weak enemy to gain an extra city or two) and slowly build up hundreds of units for a big epic battle in the later stages of the game (when you're no longer being horribly out produced by your rivals).
      I play on deity and that's almost the only way to win (that, or somehow getting lucky with a bunch of resources/luxuries early in the game, to gain huge wealth and win with a tech/space race victory).

      +Gaming With Godfather I use obs, with some games using window capture and game capture don't work, so I have to just use monitor capture and adjust the crop if it's windowed

      The random in this game is way too much for me to be able to handle. I read the manual and watched 10s of vids before playing this, but the RNG broke my spirit and I had to leave it all behind. I'm known by my friends to be unlucky anyway, and I wouldn't be surprised if my tank lost to a bronze age spearman.

      Just uncheck the "keep random seed" in the options when creating a new game. This will allow you to re-do any battle if it's too much BS to handle. Same goes for goody huts! Hope this gets you back in the game.

    MAN i DO NOT remember civ 2 and 3 looking so terrible. I remember the silly videos in civ 2 for advisors/etc but man other than Test Of Time i blocked out all memory of civ 2 and 3. I had Gold Editions of all of these. I remember how big a change Civ 5 was, i feel like the only Civ i remember after 1 & test of time must have been 4.
