Eight new civilizations including new leaders and units provide more challenges and strategic options. A powerful scenario editor allows players to construct their dream scenario and share it with players from around the world.

Note: this is an expansion to Sid Meier's Civilization III and requires the full version of Civilization III to play.
Buyer Reviews :
First off let me say that I do not play multiplayer games nor do I have any interest in playing them. Based on the other reviews here I would not buy the expansion if playing the multiplayer game was a priority for me...but,
I let the reviews here keep me from buying the expansion for 4 months and now I wish I hadn't waited.
The Good:
1) New civilizations. Especially the Ottomans and Spanish which are very challenging.
2) New animations. These are very cool.
3) New AI...I have noticed a smarter AI in the games I have been playing since the expansion and patches. This is making deitiy level much harder to win.
4) New units! Getting to update the swordsman to medieval infantry and eventually guerillas is huge since they are a valuable early unit type.
5) The editor is GREAT...SO much better than the original editor.
6) Expanded commands, especially expanded automation for workers.
The Bad:
1) Multiplayer
2) The price
Civilization is my favorite game all time so any expansion that is put out isn't going to be a price sensitive purchase for me. I felt ripped off paying $29 for the expansion, but it was worth it to me because I am a hardcore civilization player. Bottom line is this...if you are on the fence and don't intend to use multiplayer I think this expansion is worth the money for the hardcore fan.
