CIVILIZATION III REBUILT IN GODOT: OPENCIV3 DROPS A NEW BUILD FOR WINDOWS, MAC AND LINUX
OpenCiv3: a fan-built, open-source remake of Civilization III in Godot

OpenCiv3, a fan community project once codenamed C7, is an open-source, mod-focused remake of Civilization III built with the Godot engine and C#. Its goal is the game as it could have been: no arbitrary limits, broken features fixed, more room for mods, and modern graphics and platforms. The latest build, v0.3-dutch-2, landed on Oct 31 for Windows, Mac and Linux. Keep expectations in check: the README calls it pre-alpha, a rudimentary playable game that's missing many mechanics and late-game content. It works best with Civilization III Conquests or Complete installed, though the game doesn't have to run. Without a copy, a standalone mode uses placeholder graphics. Added as a library pick, not new this week.
You need: 64-bit Windows, Mac or Linux. Your own installed copy of Civilization III Conquests or Complete is recommended. Standalone mode with placeholder graphics works without one.
