Civ III

I love the game Civilization III.
But its nothing w/out conquests!

Who else plays this game? What are you favourites? What tactic do you find the best?

I love the Mayans from conquests. Their start off unit the Javelin Thrower is so powerful...
But the best IMO is probably Germany. Panzers just give you the biggest edge for most of the game.

I love the conquest modes in that expansion, especially the WWII: Pacific and Shogunate Japan.

I barely played the game, so this will be my one and only post in this thread. I just want to mention that I once destroyed a Leviathan with several Knights. Pretty weak, huh?

I play it on and off now, mostly with Mods such as the Warhammer and Steph's mod. In conquests I'd always go for the Germans, panzers are excellent, England weren't too bad  for a while either.

I dont have the conquests, only the original civ3. yesterday, i saw the expansion in a store (really cheap - 3$), but i wasnt sure whether to buy it or its practically the same with the one i have.
so, is it worth anything? shall i sacrifice 3 beers to buy it?

conquests is one of the best expansions i have seen when you compare it to the original. now that i have played it normal CivIII seems boring and old

More Units: Use Trebuchets to batter down the enemy's walls or Sumerian Enkidu Warriors to quickly gain military dominance.
More Techs: Map the world using Satellites to explore the entire map.
More Disasters: Beware the volcanoes, or Pompeii could become your reality.
More Diplomacy Options: Locked alliances allow good vs. evil conflicts you'll never forget.
More Map Features: Bombard the enemy and leave behind craters.
More Resources: Fight for control over Tobacco, Bananas, Oasis, Salt, Sugar, Jade, and Exotic Birds.
More Wonders: Build 5 all new wonders, including the statue of Zeus and the even all new commerce bonuses
More Government Types: Fascism, Feudalism, Tribal Council, and Imperialism are just a few of the new ways to rule your people.
More Unit Abilities: Including Stealth Attack, Enslavement, and other bonus attack modifiers (e.g. damage multipliers can now be applied to units).
More Attributes: Including two new Civ-Types: Agricultural and Seafaring

Extra Content: Civ®-Conquests contains all of the content including: Civs, leaders, special units, and features from the Civilization III: Play the World™ expansion.

Mayan Leader
Hannibal of Carthage

are just some of the new things added well worth ur 3 bucks, although 3 beers does sound pretty good!

Me too.
Not to mention SMAC (Sid Meier's Alph Centauri).
Civ3 was such a disappointment compared to SMAC...

Another good aspect of Civ3 Conquests is that almost all of the really good mods available for it now are Conquest mods. These can really improve the game and add a lot to it

Technology isn't a prequesite for good games. It's all int the gameplay. Which all Civ games have, but some more than others...

Hey i bought that expansion today, and it looks good at first glance.
the scenarios offered are so different from the normal gameplay, they almost look like a whole new game.
one question though- whats the difference between "conquests" and "civ-contents" (where the scenarios are lited) in the starting menu?

"conquest" are only the 8 (i think) scenarior that Firaxis made, and they range from the early mosopotamia civs, to thw WW2 battles. Civ contest are maps and scenarios made by users and mods.
Oh and BTW my fav civ has to be egypt. Cheap temples, shot anarchy period when changing govs and fast workers is all i need from a civ. Not a bad UU either.

i agree about egypt, shirastro, though i could trade industrious for expansionist or scientific, depending on the map.

Sorry to revive this old thread, but it desrves it

As for me I Enjoyed playing the Incas. I almost always take Expansionist, though the Celts work very good as well. I also like Russia, Sumeria and France.

As it was revived by someone else, I liked Germany, Persia and Babylon most, also England, Carthage and Byzantium. Yeah, with addons the game was waaay better .
But now I play civ 4, from time to time, and I think it's an excelent game .
