The game was finally revised and reissued in a Third Edition (dubbed "The Green Book", from its color) by Highlander Designs (HD), an American publishing house founded by G. W. Thompson. The authors of the third edition were Ed Simbalist, Wilf Backhaus and G. W. Thompson. "C&S3" features the almost complete disappearance of medieval references. The game was now very orientated more toward fantasy and less near the historical realism and medieval European culture of the previous editions. The magic has been significantly simplified. There was a new class of "general" magician, akin to the archetype of the "classic fantasy" magicians found in other RPGs like AD&D. "C&S3" sold well enough, given the reputation of the game and its base of loyal fans.
