How to Play CIVILIZATION III:
PLAY THE WORLD
• Make sure that the Civilization III:Play the World disc (not your
original Civilization III disc) is in your CD-ROM drive.
• Double-click on the Civilization III:Play the World icon on your
desktop or click on the Start button on your Windows
98/Me/2000/XP Taskbar, then select Programs, then Infogrames, then Civilization III: Play the World and then Play the
World.
Most of the setup options in Play the World are the same as those
in Civilization III.The following sections describe the differences
between the original menus and those in the expansion.
Main Menu
Preferences
The new Preferences screen has been reorganized so that the
options are easier to find. All of the options remain the same as
those in Civilization III, with the following exceptions:
•
Show Advanced Unit Action Buttons:
many of the unit actions available only through keyboard commands in Civilization III using on-screen Unit Action buttons.
Select this option to display these advanced Unit Action buttons. (See “Mouse Controls for Advanced Unit Actions” on
page 15 for details.)
•
Audio Preferences:
a separate screen in Civilization III, are now incorporated into
the main Preferences screen.
•
Map Scroll Speed:
(Fast, Normal or Slow).
Multiplayer
This option allows you to host or join a multiplayer game. See
page 29 for complete information on joining and setting up multiplayer games.

Barbarians
You now have the option to play the game without the interference of those pesky Barbarians.To turn the Barbarians off but leave
goody huts, click on the Sedentary option.To turn off Barbarians
and the goody huts, click on the No Barbarians option.
®
Player Setup
The Your Civilization section
of the Player Setup screen
contains eight new tribes. See
“New Tribes” on page 18 for
more information.
The Rules section of the
Player Setup screen includes a
number of new options:
Culturally Linked Start Locations
When this option is checked, all civilizations start the game
grouped on the map according to their culture groups — American, Asian, European, Mediterranean, and Mideast. In other
words, all American civilizations start the game close to one
another, all of the Asian civilizations start the game close to one
another, and so on.
Respawn AI Players
When this option is checked, computer-controlled civilizations
that are eliminated early in the game are “reborn” as new civilizations. If you don’t want AI civilizations to reappear after you
defeat them, un-check this option.
Preserve Random Seed
When this option is checked, the state of the current game’s random number generator is locked when you save a game, so that
saving and loading have no effect on random events in the game.
Here’s an example. Right after you save your game, one of your
units is attacked and destroyed by an enemy unit.You can reload
your last save and allow the combat to occur again. If the Preserve
8

Random Seed option is not checked, a new random number is
generated when the game is reloaded,and the results of the combat might be different. If the Preserve Random Seed option is
checked, the result of the combat is always the same because the
original random number that governed the combat is preserved
in each save.
Accelerated Production
When this option is checked, the number of food, shields, and
commerce generated by cities each turn is doubled.Accelerated
production speeds up the game by increasing the rate of population growth and scientific research and decreasing production
time.
Elimination
This is a new victory condition. (See “New Victory Conditions”
on page 26.)
Regicide
This is a new victory condition. (See “New Victory Conditions”
on page 26.)
Mass Regicide
This is a new victory condition. (See “New Victory Conditions”
on page 26.)
Victory Point Locations
This option allows you to score points by capturing and
occupying designated Victory Locations. (See “New Victory
Conditions” on page 26.)
Capture the Princess
This option enables a new capture-the-flag game mode. (See
“New Victory Conditions” on page 26.)
Allow Cultural Conversions
When enabled,culturally weak cities adjacent to culturally strong
ones might defect and join their culturally superior neighbor.
Default is ON.
Previewing and Loading Scenarios

Main Menu to access,preview,
and manage Civilization III
scenarios. The Load Scenario
