Will FIRAXIS force me to buy two copies of Civ III? Remove this text

I'm looking forward to play Civ III at home with my brother, and as we have a LAN I hope that there will be a way to play multiplayer in the LAN with one game. Otherwise I've to consider playing Hotseat even thou the computers are three meters from each other. And when I get tired, I'll maybe buy another copy, not to big loss as I have to buy my own when I'm finished with the school at home anyway...

You will probably be able to download a crach from www.gamecopyworld.com . These cracks are only supposed to be used to make backup copies of the original for the person who purchased the product. Anyway you can download the crack, fallow the instructions to apply it and then burn a copy.

Full PM-box? Change here!

Alpha Centauie allowed you to do a full install which did not require a CD, so maybe CIV III will have the same option.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

A lot of games are taking the middle ground, which discourages a lot of casual pirating.

the middle ground is when they require the cd for most things, but if you fire it up without the cd, the only option available is to "join a multiplayer game"

this seems to be a fair compromise.

Inflate your Upload Space

Of course you will have to buy two copies of CivIII. One at full price when it first comes out, and another at almost full price when the expansion comes out.

And then reportedly reverse-engineered the game in SMAX so that you had to have the CD in the drive to run, even if just using SMAC. Hopefully, not a Firaxis trend.

PS I've been hunting for SMAX, anyone who knows of where to purchase it or has one to sell, please private message my Apolyton account.

I'm also play LAN with my brother and it's annoying because we have to put the cd in one computer to start it up then put the cd in the other computer. One of the few good things about SMAC was the complete install as mentioned.
