Only under carefully constrained circumstances. Playing "Civilization"
at will is not recommended if you enjoy getting any sleep at night.

Just... one... more... turn.

Although my personal favorite of the series remains the original
(well, the Win3 version). There's just something to be said about the simplicity of the first game that allows for much quicker gameplay
than the later iterations. I mean, I love all of the games in the
series but the first remains the best. IMHO.

I have only played 2 and 3 so far and I preferred the 3rd. So to
answer the original poster, yes I still play Civ 3.

Believe me, I am at least equally impressed you replied. When someone
posts to such an old thread, you never hear from them again.

Anyway, you should note that Civ 3 is not the most beloved entry in
the franchise so you may want to try some of the later games if you
have not already.

Heh.

Civ 4 definitely has better title music at least.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure that Civ4 wouldn't have done as well without
that music.

That said, Civ4 was a big step forward in its visuals. Personally, I
think it is - overall - the best looking game of the series. The
others might be graphically more complex, but the both style and
balance between readability and visuals topped with Civ4. It was also
(IIRC) the first Civilization with support for mods built into the
core system.

Was Civ4 the first game to add neutral 'city-states'? I thought that
added some interesting depth to the gameplay too. Similarly, I enjoyed
the 'culture' system that let you tailor your civ better to your
playstyle. It was overall a nicely polished experience; there were
some ideas in Civ5 that were better, but they needed more refinement.

(I've little opinion on "Civilization 6", largely because it left
almost no impression on me. I know I played it, but what it did
differently from the others? I can't remember and - because of that -
whenever I consider replaying a Civ, I tend to overlook it entirely
when making my choice. "Civilization 3" is in the same boat).
