Has anyone else played? It's from 1996, and was the first PC game I ever got. Rediscovered it recently and it's more tactically interesting than a lot of modern games still (there are some sites offering it free for download, I'm checking out the legality before I flag those up for you guys though).
I have all of the civilization games up to 4, ididn't get 5 that was a disgrace.
I think civ 3 was the first game i bought for myself
I used to play this game on my godfathers pc when I was young.
It was around 1996, I had no idea what I was doing, but I was having fun.
The middle earth mod is pretty fun too.
At least until the hobbits come and kick your ass with heavy cannon.
