[@timbit2006]

I'm really tired listening to this and I kind a dosed off. Woke up and immediately thought, "I should hurry up and take my turn!" Ah, good ol' nostalgia. I bought the game way back in 2003 if I remember correctly at London Drugs. I had 40 dollars and I wanted a game so I randomly picked this one. Best gaming choice I have ever made.

[@kevinstachovak8842]

Nice choice, M8

[@danielkyavata6233]

Imagine riding from Berlin to Entremont or Alesia on a long train ride, some city with a foreign name which belonged to a forgotten ancient kingdom conquered a thousand years ago. Your unit is the latest in technology, maybe you're a rifleman with the latest uniforms; but along with you are pikemen and maybe a retinue of swordsmen, units you find strange, but hey, they're veterans and have fought countless victories before. After the war, maybe you'll visit Hamburg and check out the markets, or see the huge modern ships near the harbor. They say the war is for gems, but at the Oracle, your leaders were told Ghandi is not to be trusted. He's double-crossed people before.

[@eetuthereindeer6671]

Yeah :) Gandhi*

[@ntothemax8963]

Very cool story. I dig that civilization vibe That makes me want to dust of civ 3 and play it again

[@kailashv9]

I think Civilization III has the greatest musical of all games..yet !! Full of emotion and depth in the music..I would love to meet the music composer for this..

[@eetuthereindeer6671]

Ask if Christopher Tin has done. Christopher Tin has a youtube channel and has composed music at least for civ 4 and civ 6

[@eetuthereindeer6671]

Well i found out that the answer is no

[@MrAbgeBrandt]

Mark Cromer did the soundtrack for Civ 3 I think.

[@YoungEldritch]

This is a certified hood classic

[@MelodiusRL]

This song kind of gives the feeling of a tranquil situation, but the slight scratchiness of the sound hints at the fact there is a dark cloud looming over, and its name is "that one guy who played the Ottomans and rushed to get Sipahis."

[@alessiogala3256]

Nice targets for my Bomber. 😎 Battleships, Cruiser, Destroyer, U-boat transport vessels are ready for OP: D-Day. 😏

[@kyufuyuvbvbllymjnncuhuhbuh7538]

Sipahis have to be my favourite unique unit ever.

[@kasin1000]

I clearly remember every time that this song sounded in the game, I felt so mighty and I felt that I could accomplished everything. Yeah, a great song indeed.

[@darthmortus5702]

Yes, that you have left the past behind and now is time for a new way of life never seen before.

[@some-online-dude]

It's downright amazing how they were able to increase the power of this piece of music during almost 5 minutes and then just added an amazing ending.

[@theodoranian]

This is my favorite song in CIV3. It now brings so many memories!!

[@YakmanOx]

The build up is amazing, loved declaring war to this song lol. Massive alliances, multi-continental conquest. Great game. Great song

[@defendersofthevalley6845]

Cavalry units FTW , Charging with glory to this music to crush your enemies!!

[@steffaneumel9299]

ah yes, i often refused to research any further, just to listen to this song longer. And if you went to references and stoped and started music enough, it could bug out and let you listen to this song for the rest of the game. brilliant

[@elephantofdoom]

Civ3 had the best music

[@michaleruw7560]

propobly the best civ 3 soundtrack

[@ivand1979]

My guess is "Euro-Celtic". All the music files in Civ III ended in some suffix corresponding with a particular culture region: "GR" (Greco-Roman), "ME" (Middle East), "OR" (Oriental, China-Japan really), and "NA" (Native American).

[@PaladinLuke]

'OR' is also meant to include India/Southeast Asia, at least in spirit, as sitar is present in at least one of the 'OR' tracks

[@josipdruzic12345]

C T Absolutely.

[@prolamer7]

@@ct918 Because it has exacly right mix of complexity and funn... you add more of each and you get less on other end. Also its graphic is timeless since its hand drawn. Go for complete edition from GOG it support widescreen. plus it has BEST music of them all

[@candyman851]

@C T As much as I love Civ 5 for how well balanced and complex its gameplay feels (with the expansions), Civ 3 is undoubtedly the best at actually making you feel great about building your empire. You don't need to go to war or spread a religion or any of that crap to have fun in Civ 3, simply building up your cities and watching the beautiful hand-drawn overview dynamically fill with buildings and wonders is fun enough on its own. Seriously, why did they remove the city overview in future games? Best feature in the series imo. Civ 3 also probably had the best Civilopedia. There have been a few studies saying that playing Civ 3 helped young children understand history better, or at least take an interest in it. Seriously, this game was super stylish for its time. No other game was that concerned about including pages and pages of lore and history in 2001.

[@WaluigiIV]

@@candyman851 Real talk, as someone who is pursuing their doctorates in history, Civilization III was easily the most influential game that led me to pursue this path. I picked it up from a bookstore when I was a small child, and have never looked back.

[@Ma7m9d]

So this music is made for the game!? imagine if it was made in the 1700s, now it would have become top classic music.

[@THECOALITION2001]

This song is amazing!

[@johnkoestler0624]

Soundtracks of Civilization III are just the great soundtracks ever! I enjoyed every single one of them. Even IV and V cannot compete with III's soundtracks.

[@QibingZero]

For whatever reason, I've never been able to separate this melody and the one from Big Iron by Marty Robbins. It's amazing either way, though.

[@PaladinLuke]

Son, you have just given me the most peculiar mashup idea.

[@QibingZero]

Oh, and this was reused in later versions of Civ4 during the Classical Era, for those who have it. Entitled CivIIIModCeltic in the Civ4 Warlords Soundtrack folder.

[@arvindhmani06]

When your units can teleport from one end of your territory to another thanks to railroads

[@KaaneDragonShinobi]

Reminds me of playing the WWII scenario in conquests as the Americans...decimating Japan with a hugeass navy and taking over Tokyo...of course, I sucked trying to play as anyone else...but still, this brings back awesome memories of naval invasions galore X3.

[@WeezaY5000]

The nostalgia is strong with this one.

[@Agent1W]

I would call this track "Manifest Destiny".

[@PKUheffa1337]

I remember them all o_O

[@eetuthereindeer6671]

I mean i couldn't play them in my head but once i hear them i remember them

[@ShinobiXRevived]

And for anyone else reading, the whole point of gamespy is it gives you some actual information. If you just log onto multiplayer it's blank you dont know who is there and who isnt. On gamespy you get a whole list of everyone whos there and many times people are inside a game playing already and they won't respond Takes patience and gamespy. Without gamespy youre just assuming no one playing because you have no real information about anything. CIV3 has had the same people playing on it for years

[@benedictt.1050]

I never played Civ III, but this song is a banger! And they did add it into Civ IV iirc.
