I was wondering how much the Civ3 Limited Edition will cost and what will be included with it other than the cool tin box?

I looked at civfanatics.com and ebworld and saw that the price is $15 dollars more expensive, but what is included in it that isn't in the standard edition? -
I think it's a making-of cd-rom and a strategy guide.Somebody told me I should get a signature.Comment

Meaning the manual is an ' extra'?
Don't fall for this 'limited edition' marketing ploy, it just ain't worth it.Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

When's the last time you got a quality or detailed manual with a game? They are all just flimsy little 10 page things full of typos nowadays.Originally posted by CapTVK

Yes the quality of manuals sure has dropped the last few years, either they don have one or they have a small one, and in some rare cases they have lots of info crammed into itty-bitty pages and letters which should obligate them to include a magnifying glass in the box ( baldurs gate 2 anyone? ).
It is time for Firaxis to break this bad trend.It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - DrosedarsComment

I think that they include the prima strategy guide, as well as the addmitedly cool box art. If you go to www.ebgames.com they have all three for sale. The civ 2 manual was pretty hefty so there's no reason to think the new one would be otherwise..."He who lacks the romanticsm to believe that love triumphs any corporal happiness has sold his soul, whether for it he recieved an entire kingdom or a single silver coin."

You are right, everything is getting smaller. From cell phones to computers to the manuals they give you in gaming boxes. They are all getting smaller!!!

I think it will be a good sized manual. Civ2 had a big manual, SMAC had a pretty big manual, and the manual for SMACX was a good sized manual for an expansion so I don't see any reason why Civ3 won't have a big manual. Think about it, Civ3 just has so much more than Civ2, it would have to be a big manual.Originally posted by Osweld

Why not? The tin box is worth an extra $15
. Who knows what else will be included... and if I get a free Strat Guide, major plus!

Yep, the tin is definately worth an extra $15 And anything else is a bonus.
Of course, if anyone feels its not worth it, just buy the game

They wouldn't be able to fit a Civ2 or SMAC-style manual in the box. New PC games boxes are the size of DVDs.Comment

I guess England might have DVD size boxes, but the USA still uses the big cardboard boxes, so I am expecting a big manual still.Originally posted by red_jon
