Sid Meier created the original Civilization
computer game in 1990. Civilization instantly set the standard and defined a new
genre of empire-building strategy games and is still recognized as one of the
greatest games of all time. The game is an addictive blend of building,
exploration, discovery and conquest. Players match wits against some of
history's greatest leaders as they strive to build the ultimate civilization to
stand the test of time. The legacy of this incredibly fun, addictive series
continues today with the development of Civilization III.

Civilization.

methods. Nourish the growth of a culture that is the envy of other civilizations
along with trading shrewdly to gain valuable resources and enrich your empire.

PC Game of the Year
"Sid Meier's Civilization 3 is definitely the most addictive
single-player game you can find--or have ever been able to find. It is also one
of the most rewarding games as you bring your civilization from Antiquity to the
Middle Ages to the Modern Era, Civ3 is always revealing something new to you, be
it a unit, a type of diplomacy or just another small feature. It's always
entertaining and rewarding, and that's what makes this one of the best games of
2001 and the best turn-based strategy game of the year, no questions
asked."
