I'm new here and would just like to introduce myself and say hi.

I've not actually got any of the civs yet

But after seeing civ 3 for just £3 on STEAM, I was just wondering if i should get that or is civ 4 that much better?

Hello and welcome.

I'm not usually the one to greet new members but there are a lot of folks away from the forums at the moment for one reason or another.

Unfortunately I am horribly biased against STEAM and hate them with unvarnished bile and loathing so you won't get an entirely unpredjudiced view from me. There are one or two here that still insist Civ III is better than IV but, frankly, they're wrong. Save up the pennies, shop around, and get Civilization IV with the Beyond The Sword expansion kit. Then, when it fails to work first time, post your questions here and someone will guide you through.

It'll be worth it in the end, honest

Hi welcome to 1BC!

Well, in my opinion, they are both very good games and you can't go wrong with trying either of them if you have never played any of the series before. And for that kind of price you definitely can't go wrong!!

Once you get into it most people agree Civ IV is a great improvement on III, but coming in for the first time getting Civ III that cheap may be an even better move... then you can enjoy both of them in full!

Take a look around these forums when you start playing, sometimes you may have to dig someway back, but there are plenty of excellent threads around to help you out with everything in the game.

Welcome.

If you haven't played any Civs, III might not be a bad place to start.

2009 will be better than 2008 for three reasons:

1. 2008 was terrible.  It has to be better or we're all in trouble.

2. 2009 is the last time any of us will see a single-digit-last-two year in our lifetimes.  Unless one of us lives to see 2100.  I don't plan to be 123 years old myself.

3. 9 is a good number.  it is 3x3.  3 is a holy and lucky number.  Three 3's is even better.  Huzzah 2009!!

4. Cindy.  For real this time.

Welcome!

Back when CIV III came out, it was a great game.  Its still good and good to learn on, but CIV IV and the Beyond the Sword add-on is quite a bit better.

For 3 bucks, I'd say go for CIV III though.  You can barely rent a DVD for 3 bucks, and you can get quite a few hours of enjoyment out of CIV III, so I say go for it.  If you have a bit more money to spend, then CIV IV and BTS addon.
