Sid Meier's Civilization III, the highly addictive journey of discovery, is the third instalment of the Sid Meier's Civilization turn-based strategy video game series.

Like the other Civilization games, it entails building an empire, from the ground up, beginning in 4,000 BC and continuing slightly beyond the modern day. The player must construct and improve cities, train military and non-military units, improve terrain, research technologies, build Wonders of the World, make war or peace with neighbouring civilizations, and so on. The player must balance a good infrastructure, resources, diplomatic and trading skills, technological advancement, city and empire management, culture, and military power to succeed.

The enhanced multiplayer expansion pack, as well as all of the great new civilizations, scenarios, and features, provides more ways to explore, more strategies to employ, more modes of play, and more ways to win. It includes an easier-to-use interface for streamlined management and better control in addition to a bonus CD for more ways to play.
