What are regicide and capture the flag?

What do they call elimination?
I don't have civ3 yet but i think u can already win by controling 2/3 of the world or by pure conquest.
Does the XP pack contain civ3 as well or do u gotta buy civ3 AND the XP pack?

We'll have to wait and see.

Yes. Domination and conquest. But these belong to single-player games, not multiplayer.

You have to buy both Civ3 original and the XP.

What are regicide and capture the flag?

Regicide means assassination of the king. I suppose you will have to kill some important unit, such as a Great Leader or anything. As for Capture the Flag, I think we'll have to wait and see... Though the concept must be somewhat similar to the MP mode present in shooter games.

I thought that perhaps the REgicide game would mean you would have to capture your opponents capital.

Yeah my guess would that there would be a special unit, kind of like a great leader that you have to kill. So once you kill that unit, the rest of the empire surrenders to you. Now whether or not that particular unit might have some strengths of its own we will have to see (ala the commander unit in TA).

Probably like starting with a Great Leader, but if he's captured you lose and your empire surrenders. So you can use him in battle for bonuses maybe, but it'll be risky.

Actually, knowing unimaginative FA, it'll probably be capture the capital.

arent all the victory conditions from single-player left in the MP

I think that indeed regicide will be to kill a Great Leader, while capturing the capital might be capture the flag.

Elimination is probably what it sounds like - killing your opponents.
