Well, I don't actually have Civ III yet, so I must have mis-remembered. If it's the expansion pack that has the 8 new civilizations that's fine. I'll be buying Civ III soon, and maybe I can buy a package deal with both Civ III and the expansion pack in a single purchase.

Sachmo, you think MOO 3 will suck? I think it'll be 'MOO 2.5' as some have been calling it -- not much of a real change in design or play from past 4X games -- but having what is essentially original MOO (it is more like original MOO than MOO II) with updated art and some new wrinkles to the game is not a bad thing.

I got the impression that the game is experiencing massive feature creep, and since Infograms has absolutely no problem pushing an unfinished game out of the door, it will be less than expected. Perhaps "suck" was a harsh term...how about "disappoint"?

I'm just not sure my little brain can take ANOTHER classic game being ruined. If they get it finished, no matter how long it takes, then it will have a chance. However, that's not the way software development works anymore.
