I just read about the announced expansion pack for CivIII at gamespot.com. They are adding new cultures and a turnless version of the game for online play. Any idea how that last part will work?

Infogrames has revealed Civilization III: Play the World, its upcoming expansion pack for Civilization III, Sid Meier's latest turn-based strategy game. The expansion, which will be shown at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles later this month, will include eight new civilizations and leaders along with a number of new single- and multiplayer scenarios and features. In addition, it will include a new "turnless" online mode and other improvements.Comment

Wonder what "other features" entails. Hopefully they will expand on some of the features we already have. - more units, more advances, that sort of thing.
I would personally love another era into the future filled with science fiction type units and advances.Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your home.

I'm optimistic, but I wont be running out the door to buy it.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

I would like to see Civ3 finished before seeing an XP.

Have you not been playing Civ III then? Hey, if you didn't like Civ III, don't buy the expansion.
But if you did like Civ III, if you have a campaign or two running since its release, then reward the guys who made the game. Let them know you liked it and purchase the expansion.
Encourage developers of good games, don't insult them. I really enjoyed CivIII and would buy almost any expansion with some purchasable value as a token of my appreciation.
But, this is just my opinion, your's may be different.
Look, the expansion will probably be well work the money. I don't think Firaxis is going "downhill fast" because they want to add content and functionality to an existing game. NOT supporting a game with patches or expansions after release is going downhill.
Yes, they could have released a free expansion pack or added all of the new stuff into the original game. I mean, if your implying that a company would actually want to make money from its product, I have to agree with you. I mean, shame on them for trying to make a profit. They should give everything away and live in boxes under a bridge - that would be a good business model.
Sorry about the rant, I'm going to go back to hole now.Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your home.
