You can't really compare a free download to a purchased expansion... expansions are supposed to add new hard-code features, not just changed data sets.

part of the problem with Civ 3 is the evil marketing BS they pulled with it, splitting the game into 3 parts so they could milk more money without adding ANY meaningful features in any of the expansions.

Sounds like the same way Microsoft develops it's new operating systems.

Huh? What do you mean? XP doesn't seem to be missing many at all features that were in 2000... does some stuff differently, but still has the features. Then it has new ones...

And besides, I got XP Pro for free from MSDNAA that my university participates in.

worst game without a doubt MOO3

best game is little tougher
I'd have to go with

Medievel Total War & the Viking Invasion expansion pack

just some ideas Mac

Must agree Moo3 was bloody awful! It has the very worst ship designing system I've ever seen, and as for the "intuitive interface" to look at your systems... Guess I must be very unintuitive. Total eye candy, no substance.

Medievel Total War for Best game. I'm still not sure about the expansion for it. Spent too much time on SE4G and trying to get Civ3 playable.

Best game?

Definately Mediaval Total War and the Viking expansion pack for it.

Very very close second is Hidden & Dangerous II

Worst game?

I dunno, I dont really buy and play many computer games. Someone told me the Lord of the Rings games are bad, so may be those, but I havn't tried them so dont know

Definately Mediaval Total War and the Viking expansion pack are definately great. I got pretty frustrated at its lack of automation in larger games. It could be a real chore moving my massive numbers of units around...

Unfortuantely I'm still using the nine gigabyte SCSI hard drive I picked up about five years ago, so I had to can it for space. Time to buy a new hard drive...

I disagree. What if Aaron decided to hide data files inside the .exe file like other dudes do ? Than the SAME change will be regarded as a "new hard-code feature, not just changed data sets".

It is a testimony to the MM greatness and a shame on the major games developers that incrediably radical game play change can be so easily ridiculed by you !
