PTW & Conquests

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.civ3 (More info?)

Hi, I only have vanilla CivIII (The collectors edition tin if anyone cares)
and I would like to upgrade, but I can't seem to be able to find out, does
Conquests include PTW? Or do I need to buy both?

Thanks,
Joseph.

Conquests includes Play the World. And I bought Conquests today for 99
pence, from Game in Leicester, UK if you are anywhere near there.

Thanks, I'll go and buy it now. Sadly in New Zealand the best price is
twenty dollars (about eight or nine pounds).

Thanks Again,
Joseph.

Be aware that even though the Conquests CD does contain the PTW game there
are many units missing from the install that some of the user created mods
need to play. You can download those missing units from the Civ 3 website
(IIRC).

They are....

Medieval Japan
World War 2
Prehistoric

The above doesn't apply if you have installed PTW from the original disk and
not from the Conquests CD.

Thanks, so if I buy Conquests and download those units would it be the same
as if I bought PTW and Conquests, or would I be better off just getting them
both?

Thanks Again,
Joseph.

Those units named are not used in regular gameplay. They are just
"extras" which some scenarios take advantage of.

It would be the same as if you had bought all three games once those units
have been downloaded and installed, but remember those units are only needed
for mods / user games that have been created by other people, the std game
will not need them.
Those modified game scenarios are available at civfanatics if you wish to
download them.

Thank you to everyone that replied, it's good to know that I only need to
get Conquests.

Thanks Again,
Joseph.
