Civilization III: Play the World Intro Movie

[@garethj1123]

What a hidden masterpiece. How the music evolves with each era, the theme repeats but each time something new is added... absolutely brilliant. Gives me chills.

[@monkey.parody8667]

Hi :-)

[@MrLittlelawyer]

The music is excellent in my opinion, and matching it with the sound effects (like the arrows) is great!

[@braytac]

this is by far the best opening i was so sad when they changed it in conquest

[@PelemusMcSoy]

One could say "What intro?" for Conquests.

[@StoanPhrogg]

Undoubtedly the greatest Civilization introduction of them all. The transitions between each time period are so seamless...

[@EternalSkies1999]

My favorite Civ intro. I almost never skipped this intro just because of how amazing the animation and music is.

[@Coneman50]

I like to pretend that something like this happens in my game whenever two units battle each other.

[@ack3145]

me too

[@Zardozintheireyes]

I still get goosebumps every time I watch this.

[@АлександрФедоренко-б7ч]

О великие боги! Как же это было офигенно!

[@Marik7453]

Ваше величество наши колдуны завершили проект Ютуб,

[@101stEngie]

*A third of video's content is about war* *About a third of the KZbin comments here are arguments and conflict* Yup this sums up human history

[@RoundenBrown]

The other third is just racist bullshit.

[@JustShoveJayOhBe]

The part with the Roman soldiers is really cool

[@MrJohnnyBQuick]

This was def the best of the three Civ 3 intros

[@PTphoenixUK]

@Modolie I am portuguese and even I can see that's the American Civil War. Definitely not Europe and much less any other place of the world during the 19th century. The uniforms, the guns and the "Charge!!!" with american accent gives it away.

[@MrNeue]

If you want to show others who people are - this video has everything you need to know

[@MrGreatDane2]

holy shit, that is so kewl :D especially fot that time ;D

[@pwnmaster77]

AWSOMENESS!!!! i liked it up to the space shuttle part

[@nielsdanielbuch9022]

also I want to point out that every scene shows multiple aspects: the industrial scene shows smelters or steel production at first which was the first step in the industrial revolution, then mass production, and last it shows us what came last through a combustion engine being lifted up.

[@tiberiusz2]

Jó a dallama ! Főleg a gitáros résznél .

[@EdwardClayMeow]

My favorite of all the Civilizations' openings.

[@TWCGroup]

@KoreaEatCat I could have swore that I posted somewhere that those tactical battles should be OPTIONAL. Think about a very critical/decisive battle in the game that involves losing your capitol if you lose. You wouldn't want to micromanage that one battle?

[@smsteve888]

@xXStupidHurtsXx Actually, I'd argue that World War one influenced warfare more than World war 2. First widespread use of machineguns, first widespread use of aircraft, first widespread use of tanks, etc.

[@Paeremannen]

I love how the officer in the Civil War part yells "charge!" and only a couple of guys do it. Even he stays behind the wall, so it seems like he was playing them.

[@andromadan1378]

Woah that's so cool.

[@PandM324]

I feel like playing Civilization III now. Good thing I have the complete edition.

[@fiddleriddlediddlediddle]

There is such an immense charm to these old PC games that I think modern games have lost. More than that, I wanna know how to recapture it. What was so fun and appealing about these old earl 2000s games? How do you get this effect?

[@Motive_To_Succeed]

@Agent1W That is Cililization 3 complete :-D

[@ekszentrik]

@TWCGroup No. The gameplay of Civilization isn' based solely on warfare as the Total War series. Fans always suggest to cram as many features from other titles they like into their favourite game turning it into a bloated mess lacking a focus, while they don't realize it'd be potentially destructive.

[@TWCGroup]

@AnswerManofRome Oh hell yea, I totally forgot about that. There was not much hype about it like there was with Halo. Have you played it, and if so is it cool?

[@TWCGroup]

@mrroco300 Not sure what you mean. That's what Age of Empires 3 is like?

[@TWCGroup]

@ekszentrik It should be an option wether you would like to proceed with tactical combat or simply resolve the battle automatically as it already is. Nothing wrong with that option.

[@AnswerManofRome]

@TWCGroup xD Civ 5 is out now thats pretty cool.

[@TWCGroup]

@Empeinmortal I freely admit that it would. Only for hardcore total war/civ nerds. Of course you could always have the option to just auto resolve any fights like CIV does by default.

[@metaxou]

@xXStupidHurtsXx Thats not what this intro is about, it is about ages in civilization, not compared to the real world but ones you create in your game, therefore it is not the civil war in america shown but something compared

[@andriyyi]

@TWCGroup that would be too complex and turns would take way too long. Turns take too long in Total Wars already if you play all tactical battles in the endgame.

[@nielsdanielbuch9022]

I dont think they forgot about the renaisance or the revolutions, I think they are showing both, in how humans advanced to use guns during the rennaisance and a revolution is basically a glorified civil war.

[@WaywardSquire]

I was so disappointed when I installed Conquests after Play the World, and I lost this intro movie... THIS one is amazing.

[@nielsdanielbuch9022]

One has to remeber that the culmination of both rennaisance and enlightenment was the revolutions and civil wars

[@ZenithF]

@TWCGroup And you forgot Master of Orion? :D What if u combine all 3 games? Hmm, the tactical combat may be like in Rise of Nation, without the economical side, it would be a bit less demanding for your system :\

[@Ggyurikka]

Is there any way to have two or more golden age in a game? I had only one per game, i think there is a way to trigger more .) pls someone reply

[@PelemusMcSoy]

In case someone stumbles upon this question and no one's around to answer: Sadly, you can only get one golden age per game. There is a chance you'll enter a golden age by completing a Wonder that matches your Civ's characteristics (Religious, Scientific, etc) or if your special unit kills a non-barbarian enemy.

[@jdcp8976]

​@@PelemusMcSoy 5 years later since this reply and 13 since the original comment, I must say that we gotta thank CIV4 for introducing the multiple golden age system trough the great people

[@Nikifuj908]

@XxSn1p3rS0ULxX "Outdated tactics mixed with new technology" sounds exactly like World War II. Remember the fighting in the desert? The British called that "A First World War battle fought with Second World War weapons." And the death toll was WAAAAAY higher-- on the order of 45 million.

[@sam8404]

what can u not do if u dont have this expansion pack

[@cuchulainn424]

"Total War" is how many words again?

[@iOnlySignIn]

@TWCGroup Yeah but you would need the perfect machine to run it...

[@Brianbays]

i mean for 100% free. My friend used to have it but he destroyed the disc. I don't want to get it on ebay or something so where can i get it str8 from the internet and be able to play it for free?

[@DanishaCarter]

i wish you could get this close in the game and it really looked like this. it would be more fun

[@CompactNelson]

Exactly, that's how I see it as well : )

[@Brianbays]

where can i download rome total war?

[@SirSanje]

This is my favorite Civ opener, but Civ IV Original has the coolest song, and Civ III Original is the most nostalgic =)

[@MichaelSmith42]

you are right it is better, i love the stone quarry! i aslo love the mods! awsome! and the fact that you can change the name of the units!

[@Agent1W]

@Znork96 How obvious! It's not 'Complete' unless you get that fighter jet flyby. THAT'S what makes it 'Complete Edition'.

[@tiberiusz2]

Nem mindegy?

[@gianlucaborg195]

never played this edition of the game. I played 2 (if i remember correctly), 3 and then all of 4 and 5

[@mayabang01]

this is expansion pack for civ3

[@jellomanjello]

i like the 4th one the best

[@chincherrinas]

omg this is the BEST game ever (counting video games, board games, and sports)

[@Agent1W]

Where's the fighter jet that flies by? Must be the other intro lol. You gotta have the MiG-29 fly by!!!

[@AnswerManofRome]

@TWCGroup Ok well I am not a hard core fan so I don't deserve to give my opinion. I only have Civ 3 so from my standpoint Civ V is heaven. It looks pretty I played the demo and it is nice and simple. I am definitely getting it eventually. I would suggest it but there are so many great games coming out you should think over what you like best. From me 5/5. :) (Based off of what I have watched on KZbin and played in the demo)

[@yamumisac0w]

@Timmehbob right dude try an change the subject becasue you can't win the last one nice job mate

[@IlersichProductions]

@LucasSyrup that must suck.

[@yamumisac0w]

@Timmehbob No you just said that it had a higher american death while WWII had the highest of deaths of anyway and no change in the american goverment but several changes in goverment for other countries civil war only effected america (more or less) so wwii was obviously more revolutionary

[@Wushu4U]

nicee

[@MongyUT]

are you still alive?

[@yamumisac0w]

@Timmehbob GOOOD mate so you are amitting u were wrong thats all i wanted

[@mynameisnotimportant5007]

only 1.50 on steam

[@Timmehbob]

@yamumisac0w Admitting,* and no, I'm not. I'm saying you misunderstood me. 'Mate.'

[@TWCGroup]

The perfect game would be civilization V with a Total War combat engine when you go into tactical combat.

[@Squaretable22]

I always thought the battle was the English Civil War, or something like it around that time (I don't think it can be Napoleonic because of the lack of coloured uniforms), but then again it could be anything.

[@mysteriohb]

Squaretable22 Maybe the war between United States and Confederate States?

[@Squaretable22]

D.Fekt well it fits in better in the timeline, plus for much of my youth I didn't know about the American civil war when I was young, considering I'm not american and so I only learnt that later. That was my view on it. It could be any old archetypal war from the age of muskets.

[@JaquitoBueno]

Squaretable22 It's the US civil war, those are the iconic Union uniforms. www.minecreek.info/sack-coats/images/8747_13_59-union-infantry-uniform-officer.jpg

[@Timmehbob]

@yamumisac0w Actually I DID mention that I was referring to America's point of view. It was in my second post. You'z blocked nao, boi.

[@Lmaster20]

lol, that thing at the end, its not the alfa centauri space ship, noooo... its an ICBM surrounded by grain silos. yeah thats it...

[@dot12321]

Actually, not really. Right before the Civil War was the Industrial Revolution. If not for the Industrial Revolution, we would not have watermills, windmills, factories, or even interchangeable parts (interchangeable parts is the idea that things are made of parts that can be easily replaced). World War II, on the other hand, did not 'revolutionize' anything.

[@LucasSyrup]

Guys, I lost my CD for this game! :(

[@visamalog]

luckily it's on Steam 5 bucks

[@JdeMonster]

lol, this ones a bit better then civ 4. Empire at war has a really nice combat system but it takes a long time

[@Timmehbob]

@yamumisac0w That's opinionative. /Conversation.

[@DOMIPS]

Upps, sorry Two words...Total war

[@pwnmaster77]

i have the original version (which sucks to most i geuss) but i like domination victory its funner longer but much funner

[@Timmehbob]

@yamumisac0w It's like you read my comment backwards. I said nothing about the other countries, but that doesn't mean I completely forgot other nations. Simply the US. For the record though; I'm Canadian.

[@Timmehbob]

@yamumisac0w I clearly stated it was important to America only. Why are you still ranting on this?

[@pyramidcrate]

I think civ 3 is all around better personally

[@yamumisac0w]

@Timmehbob Yeah by people who arn't idiots

[@AnswerManofRome]

@Herbstgespenst =_=

[@Cyberspine]

I think civ3 has better videos than civ4 does.

[@lordofthenachos]

lol one guy died with out getting hit with a sword

[@rockoownz]

Looked like Union Soldiers to me. :/

[@yamumisac0w]

@Timmehbob your still doing it i insult u while still on topic u just rant on what ever u can trying to create a new argument whether am a hypocrite or can spell does change the fact that wwII was a more influencial war then the american civil war and in your argument you only consentrated the the efftects to america

[@yamumisac0w]

@Timmehbob I didn't misunderstand anything u no one including you ever mentioned the fact that we were only considering in a american point of view you just went right in to saying that the civil war is more Revolutionising then wwii then later on you claim that you were only referring to america but this still amkes no sense why would you be doing this no one else was only applying stupidhurts' statement to america only so your arguement still makes no sense

[@Pikazilla]

play the world over half the population of the world is Asian no Asians in the intro

[@Timmehbob]

@yamumisac0w Thank you, I do enjoy being reminded of my at-least average intellect. Also; Aren't* It's grammar.

[@Timmehbob]

@yamumisac0w You resorted to insulting me. Lol. Hypocrite much?

[@ImMaxi]

Shut up. Civ III is the best Civ ever made.

[@tennoheika94]

What the fuck dude?
