Sid Meier's Civilization III Expansions & DLCs

Strategy 04 November 2003

The second official expansion pack for the third installment in a series of turn-based strategy games developed by Sid Meier and his new studio Firaxis Games. The expansion gives an opportunity to take part in the largest conquests recorded so far by the human history (in Mesopotamia or America for example). In each of the eight in-game campaigns, the player assumes control over one of new nations (the Maya and the Sumerians mainly) - those have their own leaders, unique units, technologies, as well as special abilities and features. As usual, the player leads the civilization of their choice to glory through taking care of its economic, cultural and military development. Furthermore, the game was enriched with a set of additional elements, including new victory conditions, wonders, environmental objects, resources, catastrophes, natural disasters, buildings, city upgrades, diplomatic options and types of government. What's more, Sid Meier's Civilization III: Conquests offers play-by-email sessions. Both the map and scenario editors were improved.
