Hey all!
I helped start up a PBEM game, and all the players insisted on C3C. Well I was ticked. Not because they wanted to play C3C, but because I had to get the game today. All the retail stores sell it for $30. I could have bought three of them on Amazon.com for that price!
Well I bit the bullet. I payed the $30, plus the $3 tax, and installed it on my new hard drive (the main reason I didn't want to pay the extra $20) I played my first turn of the PBEM game, and then decided to play a scenario while I waited for it to come around agian.
Well, I have to be honest. I played the mesopotamian scenario on Regent and I would have to say it was the most fun I've had in a computer game in a long time. I loved all the new technologies, units, and concepts. I thought it was really cool how I could build worker homes and get over 30 production so early in history. I built a worker home in all my main citys, and the game just flew from there. I also thought it was cool how half way through the game, every civilization introduced themselves, and traded one tech with me. I really caught up on the tech tree with that one.
By turn 100 I was making close to 100 gold per turn, and had 6 wonders. Then I got navigation and started the great light house in a coastal town. I was shocked when it said that it would be done in 7 turns!
I beat the game in a little over 110 turns, during a golden age, with about 4550 victory points. My closest rival was Egypt with a little over 1500.
Just thought I would share with you guys my first experience with C3C. It was everything I want in a stategey game.
