I started about 5 games (1 chieftain level, 1 warlord and 3 regent, AFAIR). The two firsts were won by UN vote (quite a surprise the first time !
) ; I was almost destroyed by Elizabeth during the third and gave up ; I did not like start position with the fourth and played only four or five turns ; I am about to complete the fifth by space race (I disabled diplomatic victory).
In fact I am a builder and do not like war. But when I am involved within one it ends with elimination of one of the protagonists from the continent (sometimes me, often the AI
). For example, I already expelled the Brits (kind of vengeance from the previous game ) and the Japs and I am about to eliminate Germans who attacked me without reason.

I've played about 30 all the way through. I wouldn't even have a clue of how many I've played partially.Comment

10 or so, with a fair few test games as well.Comment

About eight games since October, some of the earlier wins though were not too impressive. I am getting better. The improvement of the world of Civilization III seems to depend upon me.Comment

I've finished one - which took me ages. A grim experience....'No room for human error, and really it's thousands of times safer than letting drivers do it.

Egads. Many. 20-30 games played all the way out, with maybe 10-15 games played part way (middle ages/industrial age), countless quick aborts early on.

Oh, yeah, more wins than I care to count. Almost always by space race. Hall of fame is full for Rome, France, Japan and Germany, and at least half full for everyone but Aztec. (For some reason, I have never played Aztec..)
Anymore I probably only finish about 1 out of 10 games. Usually when I am obviously going to win, or obviously going to lose, I call the game and start another. (That's probably why I have not bothered beyond monarch. I don't care to spend all the time micromanaging workers, and automated to leave improvements, they generally do pretty decently at Monarch, as long as I keep 10 or so workers under my command at all times...)Comment

Got the game in october, but was disappointed with all the bugs in my first game and the huge wait time between turns. Shelved Civ 3 for some time and started playing it again in mid-March. Since then, I have finished 4 games on tiny map / 16 civs. 2 of those games were on monarch, the other 2 were on emperor.Comment

I finished 2 for sure, maybe 3. However I have played maybe 6 or 7 others till the end when I was just too bored to mop up the last civ or when I realized the game was mine. I have started a bunch and played 25 turns and sometimes I just didn't like where the game was going (when you choose pangaea and there is an island with 2 players on it, I just want 1 big land damnit
!!) or just too bored and never started the game back up.

I've actually finished about half a dozen (plus one I lost letting the U.N. vote before I understood it well enough to know better). There's also at least another one or two I might categorize as "indefinitely suspended" after they got boring (ironically, including my best game ever), one where the save file got corrupted before the first patch came out, one I abandoned after discovering halfway through that I was accidentally benefitting from a bug that gave me a serious unfair advantage, and countless restarts when I didn't like the map position or how the early game was playing out (especially trying to tackle Emperor or Deity).

Only two or three, + the required games "recreating the British Empire" and "The Roman Empire forever!" that I tried to finish (on Marla's, sixteen civs...)
I don't have a good solid month to devote to one game... (slow comp. I guess)
I'm surprised so many people are still posting here.

four of five partials - haven't been able to get into it. Reloaded Civ2 on my new PC, but probably won't play Civ3 again. I am pretty surprised that I didn't like it right from the start.
Haven't posted in about six months before today...Be the bid!Comment
