This is a big reason why Civ 3 was such a huge dissappointment; they scrapped all of the good features from Civ 2, especially from the expansions... Most of what was added for Civ 3 only detracts from the game...

FreeCiv would be good if the damned AI didn't make cities 2 squares away from each other...

LOL Civ3 WAS a disappointment. But as a compulsive buyer like most of the rest of this country, I bought it, then I bought PTW, then I bought Conquests. I'm seriously pissed that I had to pay $120 total ($40 ea.) to finally get a complete game! After you get all the expansions, its decent.

Civ 3 was a complete disaster. After such a rip-off (and thats exactly what it was) I promised myself to never buy a single game developed by Firaxis.

Now I dont really care if the final Gold edition of Civ 3 (or whatever that expansion pack is called) is decent or not. I am not going to buy it even for a dollar.

Grab Alpha Centauri from a bargain bin. It's a very fine game by itself. Alien Crossfire has been deemed abandonware. Abandonware can be downloaded from some not-entirely-legal-but-hardly-prosecuted websites.

I played Alpha Centauri for countless hours by itself and I can say that the expansion didn't really add that much to the game. Granted, there's no point in not having it if you can get it, but it's not totally necessary.

Just be sure to have the latest patch. The only bug I've found while playing is that the game will potentially crash if an enemy attacks a base and one of your airplanes can scramble to defend. This bug was fixed, though, leaving the game in perfect shape.

I played CTP 2. Had a lot of interesting concepts. It is about what Civ 3 should have been, only combined with more Civ 2 ToT aspects.

Of course, the more I played CTP, the more I saw that Sid Meier the Hack just stole concepts from CTP rather than came up with anything new for Civ 3...
