[daheri]

anyone know if the us-versions of ptw is compatible with european version of standard civ3???


if so, why dont we just order our copies from the states? i've found several places which ships to europe. and i dont have the pacience to wait untill european release date 22-nov....

If you order the game from the US, you'll have to pay 2 or maybe 3 times the normal price due to shipping and import taxes (the latter being not displayed on most websites...).
Not sure about the US-Euro compatibility, but as the patches works for both versions, I guess it should be the same for the expansion...

Posted In a sticky:

Is there any significant difference for a UK player? Surely US english version will be the same? I cannot wait until 22nd either. Any UK peeps that know where to buy it please let me know (not in our local Game store until 22nd)

Im going to be phoned by a pc shop as soon as they get PTW, so every time the phone rings im thinking this might be it, though no succes yet

Anyone know which patch version we can expect in the euro-release? The original? I'm hoping they'd include 1.05 patch with (hopefully) stable TCP/IP play.

Got PTW in the UK today in a high street shop in Birmingham.

If by any chance its helpful to anyone, look in Gamestation in the pallisades.

For everyone else in the UK after a copy, there were display cases in woolworths, but no copies of the game. I'm guessing though that the fact it's on the shelves means that some woollies will have it in stock.

The versoin I got was 1.01 and not compatible with the US patch
