download the new for ios Sid Meier’s Civilization III

I remember back when it felt like the devs took Civ 5, changed the graphics, removed a bunch of units, and called it a new game. The game has been improved dramatically since it’s initial release all those years ago. I thought I aged out of gaming when really I just aged out of wasting money. Why would I? They’ll just release dozens of other “expansions” for $20-$40 a piece. Point in fact, I doubt I’ll buy Civ 7 when it comes out. No matter how well the game actually plays, predatory business practices will always taint the experience. As much as I’d love to be able to play the full game (which apparently the developers couldn’t be bothered to release at once, instead making this one of the single most expensive games in history, and probably the most expensive outside of The Sims) after paying for virtually every single game in this series for more than 30 years, I cannot imagine any scenario where I buy a game and all of its “expansions” more than once. You couldn’t do that with the mobile version. When I wrote a rough draft of this review, you could get Civ 6 and all DLC from the Steam Summer Sale for less than $50. I will say it is a very good port of the game and IS a lot of fun but… I have been playing Civilization games since the early 90’s (I still remember the big book you had to used to verify your right to rule every so often in the first version) and on Steam, I have somewhere around 1000 hours of just Civ 6, across all DLC and base game.

I paid the $7.99 for the base game but won’t be buying any additional content.
