GAMEPLAY:

Tides of Crimson is meant to create ultimate replayability within a fantasy setting. ToC features mechanics such as magic spells and an elemental system, along with asymmetric races that require entirely different strategies. This is more than just a mod for Civ 3, it's meant to be a whole new game that requires a fresh approach.

Population Cost

In Tides of Crimson, every unit is valuable. The goal was to create a true sense of loss every time you lose a unit. No longer will units spawn like cockroaches, being thrown wrecklessly at the enemy because you know in 2 turns you will get another unit just like it.

Furthermore, many higher-tier units in the game cost population points. So now you must sometimes weigh the benefits of a unit with the cost of not having citizens working tiles in your city.

Diversified Races

Tides of Crimson has asymmetric races.. meaning that every race plays entirely differently, while still being balanced. Races in standard Civ 3 all feel the same with very minor differences, but this is not the case with this Mod. Here, races don't just look different, they PLAY different. You have to utilize a race's unique strengths and mechanics to be an effective ruler.

Diversified Unit Classes

Another goal of this Mod was to make a game where every unit was useful, all the way until the end of the game. Do you build the early-game units which are cheaper and magnitudes quicker to build? Do you want archery units, with their lethal bombardment? Or do you want artillery, which do much more damage, but can't kill anyone? How about an invisible unit, to sneak up on unsuspecting forces? How about getting that Fire Elemental to help vanquish your Ice-based enemy? All these choices and more are yours, and a lot of time has been spent balancing the game and making sure that you would consider building every single unit within a race, even late in a game.

Increased Unit Movement

In ToC, units move more quickly than in standard Civ 3. Infantry generally move 2 tiles per turn, and cavalry type units move 3 tiles per turn. This has the effect of alleviating some frustration when trying to move your forces across the map. This also makes worker management easier, as most worker units can also move 2 tiles per turn.
