Should I buy Civ 3 - Complete?

[icett]

Hi,



I have 1- Civilization III, 2- Play the World and 3- Conquests. I wish to know your kind opinion about whether I should buy Civilization III - Complete or not? Please inform me as to what is the difference between what I already have and Civilization III- Complete? Thanks for your kind suggestions.

Don't buy unless it's for some sort of sentimental reason. You gain nothing but a few maps and all patches, which are all downloadable for free anyway (and legally).

IMHO, I would save my money for CivIV

If you feel you want the compilations, just wait for it to be dirt cheap. It has nothing you need. I will eventually get it, when I see it for under 10 buck as a deal or a resell.

Certain game I like I get all the iterations, just because.

Thanks everyone else a lot for your suggestions. Would you inform me what is "compiltions"? Thanks in advance.

I think he meant "compilations"

Dear justjake73,



Would you please inform me what is compilations? Thanks a lot.

Civ2-Complete is an example: various versions, updates, and miscellaneous features all sold together.

Sorry about the lazy typing. I was trying to watch a movie at the same time, dumb.

Anyway, just as the formerly known rpodos said. In games like say MIght and Magic VI. I got the original version. Then I got the limited when it came out. Then I got millenium, then they had another and finally I got the platinum versions.

I just wanted to have all the iterations for it. Crazy and I do not do that for all my games and most do not have all that many any how. Hope that clears up another of my less than crystal clear post.

Hey T I sucked in on your example because Civ2 had two expansons, then the Gold version and finally the Test of Time package. I bought all of those as well, but only have ToT now.

I think they even had an MP version before the gold one, but I am not sure.

I suppose that Civ 3 Complete is Firaxis' way of telling us all 'Sorry guys, this game is dead to us so don't expect any patches or whatever. You can consider CIV a major patch if you wish. Cheers, kiddos.'

There are better things a'cookin guys...
The only thing 'dead' is Firaxis' reputation
DO NOT buy CIV Complete, if you already have Conquests/CIVIII...

Why not pass the plate and send in a donation? I name vmxa1 deacon. Unless they put in writing that we will have access to to AI scripting and events in CIV#4, skip the donation, buy dark beer instead.

Sincerely,
Antrine

I bought Civ III Complete and love it. I would not have bought it if I had all the other versions - no need.

If you don't have CivIII now - buy Civ III Complete.
