... Or does "Play the World" sound... odd? I just think they could have come up with a better name than that...

I agree wholeheartedly. XP names in general have been quite lame recently. Has anyone seen the name of the Zoo Tycoon XP? It's called "Dinosaur Digs"! That arugably even puts "Play the world" to shame!http://monkspider.blogspot.com/ -
I see your point.
You think they could pick something like "Civilization III: The Legacy Continues" or something nifty like that.

Or why not Civilization 3: The Rise of Capitalism, or Civ3: The Conquerers [of our Wallets].
the SMAC XP had a good name, Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.
And btw, why didn't they call it Sid Meier's Civilization 3? It's the Sid Meier's name on the box that usually tells me it's a good game. It makes it sound as if Firaxis followed the way of Myst 3, and contracted out their game to some company that isn't as good as themselves. not that they did, but it sounds like it from the lack of the trademark title prefix.
EDIT: looked at box and such, it has Sid Meier's. I was just commenting on the lack of it being publicized about with that prefix.I AM.CHRISTIANComment

Yeah, "Play The World" sounds like a sports reference to me. Maybe "Endless History" or "Future History" or something like that would have been more topical.Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment

it seems that they wanted to emphasize the mp part. i think the initial title was "Play against the world" which probably was considered too long....Co-Founder, Apolyton Civilization Site

Civilization 3: The Expansion PackComment

Well, considering that you'll have eight new civs to play, the option to play against other players, AND (hopefully) a better editor to create your own custom civs, it doesn't seem entirely inappopriate to me."I've spent more time posting than playing."Comment

I still think it sounds somewhat funny.

Well, at least with Play the World it delivers what it says it does- but it sounds fairly campy- aimed at little children
I prefer Civ III: The Expanison Pack
