Civilization III Play the World
From Free net encyclopedia
Civilization III: Play the World, released in 2002, is the first expansion pack for the award winning game Sid Meier's Civilization III. Play the World not only brings back civilizations from the original game, but there is also a new multiplayer feature and new game modes including elimination, regicide, and capture the flag. In addition there are new wonders of the world, units, and eight new civilizations.
Play the World (PTW) was generally poorly received. The main feature, multiplayer, was extremely buggy and laggy. Most issues were worked out in the second expansion Conquests (C3C) which led many to regard Conquests as the expansion that Play the World was supposed to have been.
Civilization III: Play the World can also be found on Civilization III: Gold which includes the original Civilization III and Play the World. Civilization III: Play the World is also found on the new Civilization III: Conquests expansion.
