PTW is sheduled to be out around Christmas. Expect to pay about $30 for it. Eight new civs are added, but Firaxis hasn't told us all of them, yet. I'll leave further details for others.

Edit: Thanks LabMonkey! Why didn't I think of that?

$30.00?WOW thats cheap!I was ready to pay about $117 for it,like i did warcraft III when i went to that midnight sale thing,when blizard signed my poster and stuff of that nature.Thx..

from Civ3.com:

Updated interface improvements like auto bombard, rally points, stacked movement and a streamlined espionage interface allow for more efficient management.

A dazzling new opening cinematic and combat animations bring your Civilization world to life like never before.

Streamlined espionage is badly needed. Does anyone know about these new combat animations? ...sounds good.

I might say you were ripped off. It was only $60 here.

No,i wont ripped off,i went to that midnight sale,when some stores opened there doors to sale WCIII at midnight,and thats when employees from Blizzard Entertainment came and signed my WCIII poster,etc.So for $117 its a great deal.

You could probably get Pete Rose to sign your WarCraft poster for $117. That's a lot of dough to get it 12 hours early.

Yeah,its alot,but its ok,$117 in my book is nothing,well its something,but for WCIII and a signed poster from the ppl who made it(Blizzard Entertainment),not to mention there're like the #2 pc game making company out there(Sid Meier's & firaxis is #1)

good old Pete would probably sign over his house if you would agree to place a bet in Vegas for him.

Speaking of deals, I got Civilization III Collector's Edition for 450 SEK (roughly $45) - the normal edition was sold for 500 SEK in the same shop.

500<450?!? Strange currency

The Collector's Edition?! I still laugh about that. My friend bought it for $60...and really all it is is a tin, a tech tree chart you'll never use, and Sid Meier Celebration CD that you'll never watch.

Don't get me wrong, I like the game quite a bit but that Collector's Edition is not worth the extra money, whether it's SEK or dollars.
