Civilization 3 Gold Edition Game - Download and Play Free Version!

Game Description

One of the Best Strategy Games Ever Made!

Civilization III Gold Edition now includes Play the World Expansion Pack. You get 8 new civilizations, 4 different online multiplayer game types, create your own scenarios, new units, new structures, new wonders, new animations, and an easier to use game interface!

Lovers of the Original Civilization Games and Age of Empires Series Will Go Absolutely Crazy Over Civilization III Gold

Rated Game of the Year by more gaming magazines then I care to list, this game goes down as one of the best of all time.

"What makes Civ III such a great game is that, just like Civ II, it blends a simple start with a vast array of options and pulls them together into a detailed, compelling, and seamless gaming experience. This is one game that you can't afford to miss." - PC Gamer Magazine

You begin by choosing one of 16 different nations, each with its own special unit and societal strength (militarist, idustrial, scientific etc.). The nation you choose will affect the way you play the game as you seek to take advantage of its unique strengths. As you progress, you will have the advantage of trading with other civilizations, work out treaties, and go to war.

"If you play one turn-based game this life, play Civilization III." - GameSpy

Civilization III Involves More Than Just Simple Warmongering

You can win the game just as easily through cultural power and winning the space race. Defeating another nation can be difficult and a tremendous drain on your resources, just like real life.

#The Game includes almost all historic wars from “Mesopotamia” to “First world war”.
#The most interesting thing about the game is It deals with all the challenges that a glorious King/Queen has to face to run an Empire.
#The game is a good way to learn History in a gaming manner.
#The Lets us to enter in a new world to be a King/Queen & the actions to be taken to bring glory to its civilization.
#The limitation about the game is that it offers less number of civilizations to play.
#The game also offers a feature of creating your own scenario or campaign.
#One more limitation is that there is no more limitation.

Civilization 3 - The Most Amazing Game Ever Made, Jan 09, 2010

Sid Meiers Civilization 3, is an adventure packed game that involves building empires, colonizing, exploring and much more! It’s a game that is recommended for all ages and instead becomes MORE fun as you age older. This has been my favorite PC game since I was about 9-10 years old, and four years later it still remains my favorite. I recommend this game to everyone!

civilization 3 is one of the best games Ive ever played, the strategy that is takes to thrive will keep you playing for hours. the thrill of taking the enemies settlements will also keep you trying to take more and more. one of my favorite things to do is growing my army and culture simultaneously so that you can a enemies village peacefully and physically if time is called. I’d definitely rate it a 5/5 game. i recommend to anyone who enjoys fun.

Good graphics and great representations of the old nations that ruled earth. Other than the random sounds and music, this is a realistic impression of life.

The civilization series gives the gamer that little extra push when it comes to gaming.
I have been into the civilization series and it is phenominal to me and to all of which have experienced these great games.
Civilization 3 the gold edition is unique to the other civilization games.

Civilization 3 is an extremely fun and exciting game as you progress. The mapping, controls and also the graphical methods were used extremely well from my view.
The game does have a few minor infractions of which are not to be of hast. The game has really given me an experience to me and many people i know who have the game and i hope another game just like it comes out soon.

The game is more than worth the price asked for downloading it because you will be fascinated in a way of which you will not go back to what you used to do. The game is suitable for people of all ages if they can read, move, see and do not have epilepsy.

WOW! If you have played civ 1 and 2 you know this is worth the wait. Civilization 3 is far superior to 1 or 2 you have way more options to choose from and gameplay is much more interesting. If you are in search of a prime action and strategy game this is definitely one to check out.

Awesome Game, Jul 20, 2008

by Peter Warren (Canada)

This has got to be the best strategy game out there. If you like war and trying to get world domination I would highly reccomend this game to you. You start off with just one city, but if you can plan it all out you can either take over the whole world or try to make piece with the other leaders. What I liked about this game is how you could choose how to run your cities, what the people would build in them, and i especially liked that you could actually view your city and what it looks likes. You can train forces or build stuff. You can even take over the other leaders cities if your brave enough. But in conclusion I would have to say this is definitely the best game I have ever played on my computer.
