To play at a non-standard resolution, at least on a PC, add a line "keepres=1" to your Civilization3.ini file. (The file is located in the directory where you installed Civ 3. You can edit it using Notepad or Wordpad.) Adding that line causes Civ 3 to play at the resolution you've been running your monitor at instead of changing to its default resolution. I tried switching to 800x600 resolution and it seemed to work fine (aside from only being able to see a tiny bit of the map at a time; I'm used to 1600x1200). I also tried hitting the "Z" key to zoom out, and I could see a pretty fair-sized area but of course everything was a lot smaller.
