I got Civ3 a couple of days ago and played 2 or 3 games, and have abandoned them, because I messed up pretty bad in trying to get used to the new features.
Then yesterday I started again with the Chinese, and I started playing seriously because I got a hang of the new features. So far so good, I'm in middle age tech tree section in the year 800 A.D. I have 15 plus cities with half of my population in each city happy. I'm the most technological advanced Civ, and a formidable military. My culture is very high in the 4000s, all wonders but one belong to me. I just had a celebrate the chairman with fireworks animation over my city Canton. My throne is also quite developed. Finally, the areas around my HUGE territory are all properly cultivated and connected in every single square
I'm a happy Civer because it looks bright for me from now on, the only catch? I'm in cheiftan
