Conquests worth buying????? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

OK, is this really worth buying?

I haven't seen a lot of reviews for it, so I figured I would have a go on the forums.

I was so excited when PTW came out, since it was mulitplayer. A friend and I loved playing Civ2Gold multiplayer, on large, drawn out games to pass the time.

But what a disappointment PTW was. The multiplay was absolutely sluggish, hit the right arrow, couple seconds later the unit moved right one. And this was on 2 cable modems on fast machines.

That was my really big reason to quit playing it, all the other "little" bugs, like having to watch every city in your empire to make sure its building the right object, etc, was bearable.

So......have they improved the lag per say as opposed to PTW?

New civs don't impress me, new wonders don't impress me, I want good gameplay and minimal frustration with the product (of course, frustration of my own doing, such as not defending a city well enough is OK )

Worth shelling out the bux?

As I have have said before, this is not the best place to ask that question. I say that as so many here are big fans of the game.
In any event the game does not seem to have any playing issue and most are reporting satisfaction, for what it is worth. Anyway it is an addon so it is cheap.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Yeah, I hear that.


How about this question?

They fix that lag, or is that still bad?

better way to put the question I guess

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Anyone around play Conquests online? If so, have they addressed the lag involved, or is it the same as PTW?


All I need to know if I will be buying this game or not


Thanks
