PTW and Conquests should be sold together
I think they should bundle the two expansions together to make them cheeper. I think its stupid that they want people to pay what amounts to 60 or so dollars for what amounts to several improvments that seem more like a extravogent patch. Anyway I want to tell Firaxis to bundle them and make them cheap. I'm shure they have been raking in cash on this game so far, cut us some slack.

I believe that PTW is included in Conquests -- just not in so many words.

I'm pretty sure that Jeff_Atari has said that Conquests would include the PTW content.

I don't know, but seems I have spent more for dinner many times since I got PTW and I do not remember any of them. At least I am getting value for PTW.
I know I would not have wanted to wait the whole time from PTW to C3C, just to save less than $30.

Agreed. My feeling is PtW and C3C are being released far enough apart that I don't feel ripped off. And price wise, first run movies in Los Angeles are $9.50, a beer in a pub $4.50, an amusement park $50.00. Using those forms of entertainment as measures, I got my money's worth right about the time I reached Military Tradition in my first game.

I agree; even at "full price", a good computer game is a wonderfully cheap means of entertainment.

So very true. And a good analogy by the way.

The movie analogy is another good one. You can't get out of a movie these days without paying $15 per person including food and drinks (in California at least). For the price of two movies you just bought yourself hours of entertainment with a game.

Does this mean that Conquests will have the extra civs like the Mongols and Spainards as well as those terrain improvments also. Or will it just have the multiplayer from PTW? That would be totaly awesome if it included all of PTW. Well at least for those of us who skipped PTW.

That is the way I took it, but I could be wrong. IMHO, it would not be in their best interest to release a new expansion that wouldn't be compatible with PTW so they had to include PTW as part of Conquests.

You'll find it here:

www.gamespy.com/previews/july03/civ3conquestspc/

In the final paragraph, it states:

"Play the World in its entirety, minus the fan-made maps, is included in Conquests."

Which fan made maps you can download anyway from various places.

Btw Mad Monk, you seem to agree very strongly with what has been said (but I'm actually surprised that you could post anything at that hour)

I don't care if they continue to spit out expansions pack I've got the money to buy it and so I will (yeah I'm a sucker). However when Civ 3 originally was released and I noticed no MP or proper scenario support I knew that expansions pack were to follow. I am quite sure that this was a planned tactic from Firaxis to increase their income by producing cheap xp. Even if many more companies do like this I really hate it.

Civ2 didn't include MP either. So this isn't exactly new ...
(as for scenarions, I couldn't care less; but that's just me).

What would piss me off mightily is the idea that Firaxis left out on purpose certain features from the original Civ3 to sell them in XPs. (like wonders, governments, civs, etc) But I doubt that would be the case.

If it weren't for PTW, I would have never picked up Civ3 again....

Seriously Civ3 vanilla sucked. PTW made it awsome (even the single-player game)

You got that right. I still don't play the game much per se, but I've had a lot of fun "adjusting" things in the editor.
