So if I buy Civ 3 and Civ 3: Conquests am I missing anything? Full PM-box? Change here!

Civ 3 Conquests is on sale for $9.99 this Friday at Amazon, and Civ 3 is on for $9.99 at Gogamer.com so I'm thinking nows a good time to buy.
From what I can gather Conquests includes all the wonders and units from PTW.
What if anything will you miss if you only buy Civ 3 and Conquests and not PTW?

Increase Your PM Length

No. Only your future social life

Seriously, the only things missing are some extra unit art. I believe they were published free over the internet and a search of the civ 3 news on this site should point to these freebies.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

So the Conquests pack does include full PTW functionality well that makes this quite a bargain then, thanks for the info.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Makes me a little ticked though...I bought PTW, and then I get Conquests to find out that I wasted my money.

Games and cimputers, I just accept that I will have buyers remorse about the price as time goes by. It is only when it is a matter of weeks that it really hurts.

Think of it like I do, you paid $30 for the privelege of having it a full year earlier than everyone else.

On the other hand, if you can hold yourself back for a month, you reap the rewards of being patience

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Yeah, I'm also pissed off by the fact that they included PTW w/ Conquests. I understand their reasons, but I cannot help being pissed off.

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

If (like me) you waited and bought Conquests for the included PTW you really got jipped. The ad on the box saying PTW included is only 50% true. You can play the world via Conquests however you can't actually play the PTW expansion seperatly. What is the problem you might ask? I can't play via the internet with my friend who doesn't have conquest yet..
