Inside the Civ 3 box
We've talked about what the box looks like, now what about what the game will actually feature, for example: civ book (civ1), manual (civ2), tech guide poster (ctp2). Any ideas of what the game should come with?

Civ 2 also comes with a poster.

We've also talked about what's going to be inside the box a lot too. Even more than what the box is actually going to look like.

We all knew what the results of the poll would be as soon as we saw the question. Of course people are going to want everything they can get. Pointless spam-poll

I'd be happy with a reference manual with basic game instructions for newbies and a tech poster ala Civ2 which was much more useful and foldable then in SMAC. I don't need the extras like a making of CD and stuff. Not worth the extra 10 bucks in my opinion, just more junk thats pretty cool the first time you check it out but just takes up space on the desk after a day or two.

I expect a copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica. (Just joking, don't really pack that... it would be too heavy to lug home). Actually, thick manual, CD, bonus CD, poster, historical referance book, and maybe a small pewter Civ3 figure ought to be enough to satisfy me. (Of course I'm hard to satisfy, so this isn't entirely accurate).

I'm modest. I'll settle for the game itself, a tech poster, the bonus CD Firaxis has confirmed, and the manual. No use for trinkets - though a six(teen)-pack of some energy drink would be recommendable
But I think I wont get the LE, because it would cost a pretty penny here and I really only need the game and a manual. The leftover junk is just to maximise the experience, not the gaming experience.
And an able civer can easily do a tech poster of his own

Can we have a bronze statue in there as well

Yeah, as long as the basics are in there, CD, chunky manual and comprehensive poster/chart of everything, I will be a happy bunny. Anything else would be nice though, mind you!
