Market now, get as many sales as possible, then when the MP X-pack comes along, even more sales. So they have sold both products more.
Wierd though, I have never seen an advert for Civ3.
In fact, i haven't seen any PC game advertised very much at all.

Until MP is a possibility I have given up playing the game.
Playing AI opponents is tedious.

I havent seen that many ads for Civ 3, but I have seen some. I think they've all been on cable. The only other PC game I've ever seen advertised was Diablo 2. Why do consoles get all the air time?

I think that if you tailor the ad to that channel, it can be very effective.
The best channel to advertise on would be Discovery Civilization - anyone who watches that channel would love to play civ.
