I hope there’s an iOS port sometime
So cool.... Hope for an android port since they use Godot.
Huh, will be interested to try this and see what changes they implemented to 'modernize' it. I used to mod the hell out of Civ3 back in the day, but I also remember the base game being pretty solid.
I honestly kinda prefer older civ games because they were simpler and more focused. For me, Civ3 might really be the peak of the series.
The art assets need to be imported from the proprietary game? Is there a screenshot of the game with its own "primitive" assets?
Not that I've seen.
OpenCiv3 uses many primitive placeholder assets; loading files from a local Civilization III install is recommended
