This review is from: Sid Meier's Civilization III: Advanced Strategies (PTW & GOTY) (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

The Play the World Strategy Guide is nothing more than a printed version of the Civlopedia, which is included with the game. The "strategies", if we call them that, can be summed by saying: "win the game". The manual reminds players to keep the end objective of winning in mind, but provides zero guidance on how to get there. Anyone with a week of playing experience could probably right a more insightful look into the game.

This review is from: Sid Meier's Civilization III: Advanced Strategies (PTW & GOTY) (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

I thought this book was pretty good. A lot of it is review (for me) but I did learn some other strategies and tricks. The tricks weren't as useful as I thought, but besides that, the book provides good information for beginners and veterans.

This book does bring a little bit of new information to the table, albeit not much, but a little bit.

The biggest thing I liked about this book was the tables in the back. When I discuss actual Civ stategy with people, it is nice to have a practical copy of the Civlopedia at my fingertips regardless of whether or not there is a PC handy.
