Civilization III Civilization III (3) is a strategy game that is addictive and immersive. Try out Sid Meier's and Firaxis Games' creation! In Civilization III, you choose your leader(Ex. Abraham Lincoln)and start out with a small base. You train your army, build up your towns, and grow food. Your population can get sick, or rebel, or another leader can attack you. They can celebrate for you as well. You can negotiate terms with another leader, like trading, joining up against another leader, and declaring/ending war. As you start out small, though, you must try to grow. You can expand your territory when you build more buildings or your culture influence increases. When other leaders go on your territory, you may talk to them about being on your territory. Telling that leader to get off your territory may result badly, depending on who you're talking to. You may also have workers build colonies when the necessary materials are there, build mines with necassary materials, clear forests and jungles, and have them go automatic. You have advisors, go to the options button. There should be a button there for advisors. You can increase your science research spending, see your current standings for culture and against the other remaining leaders(trade routes, peace pact/war pact against others, etc.) and others. The game goes from 4000 BC to about 2020 AD. At the end, if you've won, it's glorious. There are some scenes in some cases that might be a bit much for younger children. However, if you've lost...let's just say it's gruesome and not what a younger child would enjoy. Sid Meier's and Firaxis Games' Civilization III is a strategy game you will enjoy.
