Sid Meier's Civilization III Complete Review
Sid Meier's Civilization III Complete is a 4X strategy game that allows the player to build and manage a civilization from its early beginnings in 4000 BC to the modern era. With 16 civilizations to choose from (15 more added in the expansion packs), each with unique characteristics and units, players can experiment with different ways to progress for each civilization. The game offers several ways to achieve the primary goal of defeating other civilizations, including controlling more than 2/3 of the world's land, building a spacecraft, assimilating other nations, and diplomatic domination. With the most updated version of the game and both released expansions (Play The World and Conquest) included in the Complete Edition, there is a significant amount of variety in gameplay.
