Civ III remake

[Snake6163]

Are years now that i'm wondering why they didn't make a remake of civ III. I think it's the best game in the series, just need some more modern AI and (maybe) HD texture

They kinda did that with CIV IV. Not very well, but they did.

civilization iv it could be said that they are part of it is a remake, since it has some music from III, and that the gameplay could be said that it remains almost the same only in 3D and with new civs and more scenarios

Civ 4 is distinctly different from 3, I'd say.

I think it's unlikely they would remake 3 given the relatively low playerbase, civ 4 being the preferred one, and the direction they took from civ 5 onwards.

Good shout Snake, probably a bit niche for the bean counters mate. Currently enveloping the world in my orange army 3 months in now

Civ IV is a perfect remake of Civ III. All they did is changed how economy works (cities eat money instead of making them), how tech tree works (direct and indirect links), how scientific output is calculated (per citizen instead of per gold piece), how espionage works, how combat works (singular power stat modified by perks, in stead of Att/Def + HP increase per levelup), how artillery and city defence works, used advanced copy of Alpha Centauri's social engineering in stead of set-in-stone modes of government, fundamentally rebuilt culture, added the system of religions, and, later, of corporations that define significant part of economy and diplomatic relations, fundamentally reshuffled diplomacy, created the whole system of resource-gathering buildings, completely swapped how state borders operate. Otherwise Civ IV is literally Civ III.

I feel civ 4 is civ 4. It changes so much of the game than its a different installment.

It vaguely resembles 3 in the sense that cities still work squares, and multiple units can fit in one.

They changed pretty much everything else. Having gone from playing civ 3 to 4, and expecting something similar, it wasn't all that similar at all.

That is not to say its a bad game. I like both.

All good answer.
Just finished a game on Civ 3, after looong time, and look strategically better than Civ 6; there are a lot of stuff in the 6 but strategically talking (and also the wiki) is better... maybe is only the nostalgia but.... right click and i go to the wiki, a city on a island? the AI will attack it, infantry? good to defense, tanks? good to attack...
