You should keep your mouth closed and just appear to be dumb rather than opening it up and removing all doubt
I like CC3 a lot. It is easy to come up with a quick and decent looking basic map, and with a little bit of work, you can start to get into some very good looking more advanced maps. The only bad thing is that if you are not careful, your maps can quickly end up looking the same.
