Ya go for it man. You can't lose with that package. Civ Complete is perfection shipped in a shiny box. Fully patched, it flosses some of the best Mods ever to date. ex:, The Balancer Reloaded, its like a 3rd expansion, 100 complete. includin 1000 pedia entries, 600 plus units, its a nice add on.
also you get see 31 amazingly redone leaderheads in Anno Dommi, a full 4 era epic that centralizes on the ancient and early middle age times.(Most peoples favorite eras)
Lets not forget the in game mods desighned by the Fire Axis crew. Some of coolest challanges Ive ever faced, with all new imprivoments, music, and fresh new resources including tropical birds!
In the event your up for a new challenge, you can always try a Massive Epic.
You can't beat the Giant Map selections that got spots for up to 30 Civs. As long as its under 190x190, Fast and smooth gameplay follows you along in a giant wheeling and dealing, war'in and scoring realistic world. In terms of amount of countries Civ4 just can't come close to replicating.
For short transition periods between turns always say No to MEGA GIGA Maps. (Maps over 200x200) and know thet [Ctrl + Caps Lock] speeds AI turns drastically , but never skips the fights (other nations at war)
Civ Complete was the only version of Civ3 I purchased, I was lucky cause all the great things were done and ripe for the downloading. One last thing.. Remember the terrain graphics you see on the back of the box arn't neccesarly what Civ3 to look like when you play. Artists are always raising the bar considerably on the 'look' of the terrain as evidence, a simulated satelite Terrain Pak is about to drop, IMO, Rhyes greener and Snoopys Terrain bring the best look to this game, f
