Civ III Conquests Bonus CD
Does everyone else agree that the Civ III Conquests Bonus CD sucks? It has some nice downloads on it, which saves time if you have a dial-up connection, but the CD would have been better served with detailed descriptions and screenshots of the mods.
What do you guys think?

Pretty much everything on that CD is on the internet. They wouldn't be charging so little if it wasn't. Besides it's not about the price. It's a poor product. They could have done much better.

1. not everyone actually has internet..
2. of those who have, not all are on broadband, not sure if I would want to get all these files with a 56K modem ( what's more, I know in many US cities (perhaps everywhere) local phone calls are free, that's not exactly the case worldwide. I remember when I was on 56K and that was mucho expensive  )

Who knows, but it is like the CD that comes with game mags. I do not get upset if it has nothing on it I want. That is what I expect.
Actually just looking at the screenies in the guide on the free CD was worth something, since I got mine before I got the game.

Not quite the same though, mags that come with CD are more expensive then those that come without altough they will put 'FREE' on the cover.
But yeah, I don't know why people are unhappy with it, what do they expect? More new scenario's and units the C3C itself??

I have seen the CD sell for $9 on Amazon.com (although now they have discontinued it).
Furthermore, I don't I expect more scenarios or units, just explanations on the mods. Screenshots would be nice too. I just like to know what is going to be altered before I alter it. I guess this isn't a big deal cause I can just back everything up, but it would be nice because that way I don't have to go looking for the alterations (either through the forums or the game itself).

that was a price that amazon just showed due to their system of placing the bonus cd as a separate product from c3c

I just recieved c3c game and Bonus CD as a gift. After browsing the Bonus CD, I think they misinterpreted the word 'Bonus' when they should have used, 'Bone the person whom purchases it.'
I contains several mods and patches that are all available via various websites. However, I guess it is nice to finally have all of those in one place.
I'm glad I have it. I'm sorry for the person whom purchased it.
/:EDIT That is, IF they actually purchased it. If it was a Freebie--which now I'm lead to believe, then it's OK. EDIT:/

You (only) got one if you pre-ordered C3C.

I pre-ordered through Amazon.ca (the Canadian arm of Amazon.com) and did not receive a bonus CD. Although they didn't advertise it, it still pisses me off that I didn't get it.

MrWhereItsAt could have added a third point. That not all retailers were involved in the giveaway and the timing was an issue.

amazon was not automatically adding the bonus cd on the pre-order. they had a "bundle" advertised and you had to buy that to get both c3c and the bonus cd...

In a way, we those who pre-ordered c3c did pay for the bonus cd. I don't know about all of you, but I paid $30 through amazon (free shipping). Now, it, w/ the bonus cd, is being advertised through Apolyton's emails for $27 (free shipping).
