Collector's Limited Edition Unique Scenario

[randomturn]

Anyone know what it is? I'm looking all over and can find no information for it. It should be easy to download after the release, but if it sounds pretty cool, I'll buy the LE to "reward" Firaxis for putting it in.

[Gangerolf]

I don't think they have given any info on the scenario yet.

What else is in that funky LE box?

[Stromprophet]

I have a question for anyone paying attention.

Did anyone else buy a pre-order box from a retail store like bestbuy?

I'm a little confused, because it says by purchasing the box I have automatically reserved a copy. Yet I have no special receipt, just a normal reciept.

"To reserve your copy of Civ III, take this box to the register. Your 10 dollar purchase will be apllied against the cost of the game when it is available at Bestbuy."

I'm confused because all I have is a reciept from the store. Will htis be enough to claim my copy? And will I be able to get the special edition at a retail store?

Thanks in advance.

HTere is also a "special strategy guide" in the LE.

There's a "making of Civ III: video, Sid's "design notes" and a fold-out tech tree. The tech tree came free with the original Civ III but I guess it's a luxury item now.

Someone whould ask Firaxis what the scenario is all about next time they have a Q&A session.

Uh, the box is tin. That by itself is worth over $10.

Strategy guides are useless, eh? So you've never taken someone else's advice on anything Civ-related?

A box made out of tin is worth $10? If thats true then I'm in the wrong business. I should be crushing up beer cans and selling them for $1 a go. Not that dollars are much use where I come from.....

aren't cans made out of aluminium?

[Buck Birdseed]

The box will no doubt be Stainless Steel anyway.

I'll use it to keep biscuits in, or something.

I would be willing to pay for good materials. If anybody remembers the materials in Pirates!, for instance, or the cloth map and nice box in Ultima IV, you'll agree that these little extras add to the enjoyment of the game.

Don't ask me how. They just do. And yes, these games cost $50 or $60 back then too...

[BeBMan]

The Limited Edition comes with scenarios (or at least one of them) that are not in the normal version? Didn´t know that, is it confirmed?

And is something known about these scenarios?

[Inverse Icarus]

it just says "exclusive scenario" or soemthing.

im sure one of you will post it for me

If you read thru the lines in the old strategy books for civ II there are actually some tips that very few people can see. It has its advantages. And they always look cool.

[Sarxis]

I rarely if ever buy the collector's editions for games (who needs another rubber keychain?).

But maybe...
