Guide Review - "Sid Meier's Civilization III Strategy Guide"
The manual for "Civ 3" provides the information you'll need to play the game, while the strategy guide discusses both gameplay features and strategies you may want to consider using. The chapters on making maps and city improvements are particularly helpful. Die hard "Civilization 3" fans will want this for their collection. I strongly suggest looking for this one
