Civilization III: Conquests!

Take over the world… one
conquest at a time.

Sid Meier’s Civilization® III:
Conquests takes players on a provocative journey through the ages as they pursue
victory in the most famous conquests in history.

What does Civ® Conquests give to
fans of the award-winning series? Simply put — more Civ: More to Build, More to
Fight, More to Rule!

Civ fans will discover intriguing
new civilizations, units, wonders, technologies, and abilities to help them
triumph in eight professionally designed conquests throughout history. Compete
as one of the eight new Civilizations, each with its own powerful leader, unique
units and special abilities, and lead your nation to its destiny. New victory
conditions, Wonders of the World, terrain elements, resources, city
improvements, and governments offer endless variation in your quest to rule the
world. Improved multiplayer and play-by-email support, intense diplomatic
situations, and a slew of editor enhancements, round out what Time Magazine
calls "the greatest computer strategy game of all time."

Do you have what it takes to lead a
civilization to greatness? Or, will your nation be conquered by some greater
power? You decide.

Take over the World – One Conquest
at a time!

Eight professionally designed
adventures challenge you to recreate the great conquests of history. Battle for
control of Mesopotamia in the Cradle of Civilization, or for the rich and vast
resources in the Americas. Then, embark on a campaign through time as you
attempt to conquer some of the most powerful civilizations ever and earn a place
among the greatest leaders in history!

Throughout the course of each
conquest, players are introduced to each of the additional features of Civ
Conquests, including:

Civilizations – Eight new powerful
civilizations from the innovative Sumerians to the mystical Mayans.

Units – Use Trebuchets to batter
down the enemy’s walls or Sumerian Enkidu Warriors to quickly gain military
