    Performed in store lift test - passed. (nice heavy box)

    Manual is actually filled with some usefull information, unlike PTW's manual.
    Alright! These are, although not really important in the long run, very good for that instant gratification factor.

    A good manual... I haven't read a good manual since SMAC came out, and before that Civ2! I SO look forward to this.

    I love to RTFM - but they keep dumbing them down

    Is the MoO3 manual chunky? If so I may buy that game.
    Consul.

    Back to the ROOTS of addiction. My first missed poll!

      Yeah it's a good manual, not chunky though only 79 pages. However at least it gives you adequate details about the new features of the game. This time I think Firaxis realized they better put out some decent literature!

      But nothing beats the SMAC or CIV2 manuals, at least for this genre anyway. Those were manuals!

        The manual was just enough to fill the time between getting home from work and the time when wife/kids went to bed. That's what I call the "don't you dare ignore us just because you got a new computer game" time. So I "spent time" with the family while perusing the manual.

        As for the price, this expansion pack is well worth it from what I've seen so far, and I played about 12 hours yesterday (liking my "flex schedule").

          I love how wives always bug you about not igoring the family just because you got a new game. I thought I was the only one who heard that before! Hence this is why I only got 1 hour in last night.

              Seeing the general consencus seems to very positive to put it mildly, does this mean we aren't going to see reappearence from Coracle

                  Yin is posting at this forum lately. (look in one of the topped threads.

                    He posted in a couple threads earlier this week. He said he was waiting for the "$19.99 bundle" the packages everything together.

                      Sounds like a classic Yin statement to me.

                      Honestly though I originally thought that I'd wait for bargain bin prices. I'm glad I got the game now though because this product is far superior to it's predecessors right out of the box. I'm sure that as time goes by bugs will be discovered but thankfully this time, Firaxis doesn't have to perform damage control.

                        Yes. It is definitely $30.00 more game.

                          I think all you need to do is recall how the board was after PTW came out and how it is now. We do not have the scores of threads bemoaning the problems. It is mostly very positive.

                            This is so true. Actually the boards have been quiet compared to the old days. Guess everyone is still trying to explore before commenting.

                              This xpack has redeemed Civ3 for me. I didn't buy PTW though, so I am getting a lot of bang for the buck this time around.

                                That is what is going to get me to buy C3C.....bang for the buck.

                                ACK!
