A discovery Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Playing Civ 3 on a "real world" "Huge" sized map really is quite astonishingly dull. It's like watching wood warp.

Tired of ads?

try it with 24 or 31 civs.

Otherwise, yes, it is boring.

if you have all the civs, each can build about 20 cities before the limit is reached, so you will have wide tracks of unclaimed wilderness.

Increase Your PM Length

Its like watching paint fade.

Also, it becomes difficult to manage all your cities and to control coruption. I generally stick to large maps.

Increase the size of your Attachments

I always feel like any size "real world" map is boring; I like the sense of discovery that random maps provide.

Yes, but sometimes I just get the feeling "man, it would be nice if that civ ruled the world". Especially in Civ2 I loved to start alone in America and conquer the rest of the world form there!

Inflate your Upload Space

Or start alone in England, which gave the AI a chance (no expansion untill boats discoved) That was really satisfying.

Suffering from ads?

To make matters even more boring, we are playing pbem on the world map. One turn per day when lucky.

We are all so bored that we are already duking it out diplomatically even though nobody has any military units at all yet. Nothing more nasty than a bored civ III player
