Yes. But then I'd have voted for buying a banana if it had the civ3 label on it.

Hmm, aren't in this poll to many no's ? Isn't it a little biased?
How about options like: "I'll wait for the reviews first" or "I'm not planning it, but I may change my mind if player's feedback is positive" etc.

sorry, but i was just interested only in if you said no. What you've mentioned has to be all voted under that one "undecided" option i guess. Apologies.

and the yes option cant really be expanded...

Of course I'll buy C3:C. I won't get it the first day or week, but eventually I'm definitely going to buy it. I don't even care if the reviews are bad like in PTW. Baaaaah, Baaaaah.

Zero, I will probably buy it, but I'm not going to preorder it. I'll wait for the player reviews, to see if it's worth my money. I think this is not really "undecided". I'd like to buy it, but not blindfolded.

So yes, the "yes" can be expanded

Oh man, if the UN will be finally useful, I'll buy it ASAP

However if the only difference will be the scenarios, the 8 new civs and a few new units ...

IIRC they've said something about improved PBEM, which will almost force me to buy it, being my favorite playing style. I hope they will finally get rid of all those annoying bugs from PBEM (and MP).

Full PM-box? Change here!

There is only once way that I don't buy it :
If it is impossible to create szcenarios with events (no matter if the professional scenarios have them or not) AND if this lack isn't compensated by the presence of unit-trading.

So, I guess yes

I'm with statusperfect on this. It's unclear whether Conquests will be separate from the main game; or will we be able to use the new Civs in normal style games (some warfare, some peaceful building, etc). As long as Conquests is fully integrated into the present game, I'll buy.

I don't bother looking at reviews any more when Civ expands; they've always produced a wonderful game and I've never ever been disappointed. And if something doesn't work, they fix it.

Apparently this autumn.
I'd say end October, since it is frequent in the industry to ship an XP one year after the vanilla game or the previous XP (nd they have done so last year).

I'm going to use the same strategy I did with PtW. Wait until price drops <$20 and then ask around the forums if the game is good or not. Then I'll buy............

I have a feeling RoN and any other games that come out this summer will keep me busy until the new Civ3 addition is at bargain bin prices.

yep Support Apolyton

I'll buy it straight away. I'm intrigued by the talk of changes in diplomacy more than anything else.

I also believe people learn from their mistakes. I expect patches, naturally that can't be helped, but after the bad press from the last release I would be very surprised if this weren't a highly polished product. As it is supposed to be.

Spiffor, you KNOW that if it has editable events then it will be buggy until the 1st or 2nd patch, and I hope there will NOT be unit trading (I never had those games where you could do it in Civ2).

I will probably get it the first day it is available, as I did with C3 & PTW. There will probably be all sorts of tweaks that haven't been mentioned yet by Firaxis.
