FIRAXIS Games and Atari are excited to announce that the second expansion pack to the greatest strategy game of all time has gone gold. Sid Meier's Civilization(r) III: Conquests will arrive in stores across North America November 4th and in Europe November 14th. Civ(r)
Conquests takes players on a provocative journey through the ages as they pursue victory in the most famous adventures in history.
Nine professionally designed conquests challenge players to compete as one of seven new Civilizations, each with its own powerful leader, unique units and special abilities, and lead their nation to its destiny. New victory conditions, Wonders of the World, terrain elements, resources, city improvements and governments offer endless variation in
a quest to rule the world. Civ Conquests also includes the first expansion pack, Play the World, and features improved multiplayer support, intense diplomatic situations, and a slew of editor enhancements that round out the packed expansion.
The suggested retail price of Sid Meier's Civilization(r) III: Conquests is $29.99. For more information visit http://www.civ3.com

I don't hold my expectations too high. The 40% mark Conquests got seem a good hint to me that the product won't be perfectly polished bug-wise.
I have the strange feeling that Firaxis / Atari hasn't completely lost the bad habit of preferring schedule over polish

I wouldn't put any stock in that 40% review. How could it be reviewed a month before the game is released? They prorably got confused and meant a previous release - PTW perhaps?
I think Conquests may finally complete the game and make it fully playable.
My question is, when is the game due in Australia and New Zealand?

Stuff Gamer (a subsidiary of Stuff (for Men) Magazine) apparently gave it a bad review. Considering the general take of the magazine, since there are no scantily clad babes or real blood and guts action, I'm not surprised they don't like it.

I would tend to discount that review. It looks like it was not quality job, done by a conscientious person. Rather it smacks of a self centered person, that will not evaluate something they don't care for. I mean 40 is for something that does not work, not for something you are not fond of playing. If they wangted to get more for their money, say that, don't reflect it in the rating.

What! Don't these people realise that the game can be modded to suit anyones "tastes"...so if they wanted to create a civ of scantily clad amzon women or somesuch...hmmm, what city could resist converting to a culture like that!

Actually,- I think I would prefer a 'Breakaway' (or even an Atari) chat, considering their involvement.

I too would like to have a chat with Breakaway...I wonder what the chances of this happening are?
