A noble undertaking, given that a good 80 odd per cent or more of the audience will likely never even try it out. Now it's here and instead of just putting it in and seeing how people used it, the design team obviously thought long and hard about how best to take a complicated and intensive game like Civilization III and make it playable in groups over the net. Multiplayer, which came standard in Firaxis' previous strategy game Alpha Centauri (PBEM was patched in later) was glaringly absent in the original Civ3 release. They've streamlined much of the game, incorporated all the patched-in content, and named it Play the World, which is a fitting title given the primary reason for buying this pack: the addition of multiplayer. It adds eight new civilizations complete with unique units, advantages and disadvantages, a few new buildings, and a new wonder as well. Sid Meier's triumphant return to Civilization was chronicled a year ago this month, and fittingly the expansion pack is here.
