Civilization

Hi,
my Global teacher asked me to do a bit of research on the games Civilization, Civilization 2, and Civilization 3. Which one is the most historically accurate and what time periods does each cover?

U got a problem?! Then dial 1800-328-7448!

uhm..... what? whatever you native language is, there are translating programs out there. type your language in one of the translators and it will spit out comprehendable english, then just cut and paste.

repeat after me, we are all individuals!

even on my retraction i can't spell correctly. but i still won't reveiw my post before i post it. i'm american and lazy!

repeat after me, we are all individuals!

Civ2 was a huge tweak to Civ1. Civ1 ruled in it's time, but Civ2 pushed it aside.

I know not about Civ3, but since it's Siddy M. working on it, it's probably going to be a tweak of Civ2.

Which means, good.

Rich is the nation that has many war heroes. Long since forgotten...

Civilization I, Wonder how many hours and sleepless nights I´ve spent on that game?!
By far, one of the best games ever!


Blame Canada! Blame Can-a-daaa!

Do any of you even read the original post?!? He asked which was the most <i>Historically accurate</i>, not which one was the coolest or the most fun or has the best graphics.

I would not call any of them "historically accurate". Some parts of the game obviously have elements of true civilizations, but the games were designed to be <i>games</i>, not a history lesson.

Save the children

Age of Empires - History

Railroad Tycoon
Sim city
Theme Hospital - Economics & Finance

Any strategy game you can think of - Patience & quick thinking.

The jetset willy games teach you effective time management (can I play this until 5am and still get up for school?)

Is this game turn-base or real time game?

Civ3 is the most accurate, ignore the Call to Power Crap. I dont know how you could even call Civ remotely accurate however. The Americans have only been around for over 200years.

But if you ever get around to playing it and want to conquor pick the germans go Commie and build Panzers which will roll over everything.

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

None of them are historically acurate. The rate of development of nations in the game is a matter of how well you play and you can advance faster or slower than civilizations have in the real world. You can also still have odd situations like a tank fighting against a swordsman, and we don't run into too many situations like that in the real world (except maybe german tanks vs. polish calvelry in ww2)
