Civ3: Conquests & Civ3 Gold Shipping Date

Thunderfall · Jun 11, 2003

Just visited the EB Games site and noticed they are already accepting pre-orders for the Civilization III: Conquests expansion. The price is $29.99 (same as Play the World) and the shipping date is listed as October 28th, 2003. No box shot is available.

EDIT: There is also a new pre-order title called "Civilization III Gold" on Eb Games, which will also ship on the same day as Conquests. Price is $39.99. It doesn't say what this package will include, but my (revised) guess is vanilla Civ3 + PTW.

Maybe Jeff_Atari can give us more info?

That is nice but I will not preorder it because there is no need to. On October 28th I will just go to the store and buy it...

Thunderfall,

For 39.99, I'll bet that Civ III Gold will just include Vanilla Civ and PTW. If they were to throw in Conquests, regularly priced at 29.99, there would be protestors in the streets outside of Atari headquarters!

Octavian X · Jun 11, 2003

Yes, considering how much I paid for Civ3 and PTW, I'd be angry at them.

Civrules · Jun 11, 2003

Hehe, a long time ago I made a prediction that there will be two titles one Conquests and the other something else for players that have PTW and for players that do not. People said it would be too complex to make two. Turns out I was right.

I will be buying Conquests and not Gold because I plan to buy PTW soon.

Gold will not include Vanilla because everyone kinda already has it. It will probably include the two expansions.

If it were to include Vanilla and PTW then why did not they make the tile earlier so it could be released earlier? :confused:

Amazon.com also has Conquests for pre-order; currently for $2 less, but no Civ 3 Gold at Amazon.

Considering that Atari mentioned that Conquests would go for 29.99, I doubt they would include it with Civ3 Gold for only 10.00 more this early.

When I bought civ3 I bought it packaged with PTW (back in february sometime). Then it cost approximately 40 bux.

You are most likely right.

The Civ3 Gold edition probably will replace the current Game of the Year edition.

What are the chances thet 'Conquests' will actually be out in October. I predict more like January 2004.

Hmmm....reading the features list is kinda like reading about the things that modders/scenario builders have been doing here for awhile.

Not a bad deal to have a user community do your prototype work for you!

Turner · Jun 12, 2003

Didn't PTW make it's release date? I honestly don't remember, I wasn't going to get it. And then got it right after it came out.

Just so long as they don't call it C3C v1.10. . . .it could be a couple of years before we see it.

amirsan · Jun 12, 2003

All I know is that I am not getting it on the first day it come out. Last time I got PTW on the first day and a week later it was half price :mad:

. Also the fact that I used my own money for it :mad:

. But dont get me wrong, I'm still definetly getting it

Well if they have the same schedule as with PTW it's in Finland in March

I hope there isnt a delay with the UK release like with PTW.

Sultan Bhargash · Jun 14, 2003

I remember my frantic quest (3 locations sought, 40 miles driven) to buy PTW the first day it came out. And loading up, going into Multiplayer mode, starting a game with Richard III, starting it again, starting it again, starting it again... going to bed frustrated...

I want to see a lot more incentives than Commercial Dock this time around.

WildFire · Jun 14, 2003

My incentive was hotseat. I got it, it worked. I was happy.

Stapel · Jun 18, 2003

As soon it will be out, I will ask someone in the US to buy it and send it to me. I don't want that stupid US/UK 1.14/1.29 patch crap anymore.

But I defenitely want the game ASAP!

civjunkie · Jun 18, 2003

Maybe I'm a little behind and slow.......will Conquests be installed on top of PTW?

You will not need to own Play the World in order to install Civilization III: Conquests. Civ Conquests only requires ownership of Civilization III.
