Civ 3: Conquests expansion pack

Manach

What do people think?
Was it worth splashing out for 4 new wonders, Fascism, and the Irish being moved to Religous/Agri.

It's more of the same really, I got it for all the new civs etc not having had Play the World, and I reckon it was worth it. I've played a few games in the regular sp mode, and the move to agri/rel has bumped us up a good bit! Expanding is easier at the start thanks to the extra food, more cities = more swordsmen, and the swordsmen crush everything nearby in the ancient age. Deserts can no longer stop the glorious celtic hordes (+1 food on irrigated desert tiles)! They supposedly did something to make the multi smoother from PTW, never had PTW though so I can't compare.

The conquests themselves are supposed to be great fun, but I can't be arsed to try em, too bloody lazy to bother looking up a whole new tech tree and new units There's 7 or 8 of em I think, offhand I remember the rise of rome, the fall of rome, napoleonic europe, age of discovery, WW2 pacific, and one in samurai-era japan. In each conquest you can play as any of the sides for some extra replayability, in the age of discovery one for example, you could be the Aztecs trying to fight off the conquistadors, or the Dutch looking for some new colonies.

If you've got regular civ3 and like it, I'd give conquests a shot (2 exp packs in one after all), if you've got PTW then it really does just come down to if you want those few improvements and 8 built in scenarios to beat.

I have to say I like it a lot. was annoyed that it included PTW as well as I had already bought this , but I reckon its worth to increase longevity and enjoyment etc
