Well, I contacted Trymedia games, and they did confirm the incompatibility of the DL'd ver. of CivIII Gold and any CD of Conquests. They gave me a refund on the CivIII Gold, and I DL'd CivIII Game of the Year (plain ol' CivIII works just as well) along with Conquests and everything works fine. Wish they'd make it clear on their DL site tho. That's all. Bye.

Warning - Active Mark Product

If you have purchased a store version of CIV II (which, I preume 95% of the people who own this game have) do not try and purchase the Conquest version from online. It is seemingly a hacked version that has the following problems:
A) Completley incompatible with the store bought verison (you will have to buy "Active Mark" version..this is NOT mentioned on the web site)
B) This version is not patched and CANNOT be patched.

I have requested a refund but will also dispute even though this shady company claims "A dispute will elongate the time to process your refund". Ummm...what kind of sense does this make?

This company reeks of scam. I do not understand why Firaxis would get in bed with them?

General Warning.
