Play The World expansion pack includes three different Internet and LAN
multiplayer modes: Turn-based, Simultaneous, and for the first time in a
Civilization game, a Turnless Mode. Civilization game fans can now face off in
more intense, fast-paced games like Elimination, Regicide and Capture the Flag
or play a more traditional Civilization-style game. The expansion also supports
"Play by Email" and Hotseat games and includes multiplayer scenario
support."
Heh just being able to move multiple stacked units all at one go justifies the purchase. I don't really care about the multi. Otherwise during periods of conflict i reckon 70% of the time is just spent on moving all your units. And wars in Civ 3 don't end quickly. And did i mention my fingers hurt?
can't wait to play this. I loved civ3 and this just seems to add to it. Hopefully the multi is playable, from what I have read though it should be. But only time can tell.
