There are plenty of changes that make the game different enough that it's a must have for any Civ fan(atic).

Great in theory, and with each patch will become better, stronger, and faster. It’s a bargain at twenty bucks, if you ask me. The programmers just need a little longer to iron out those online kinks.

This expansion adds a lot more clutter, but at least it's interesting clutter. Sadly it doesn't fix some of the aspects of the game still arguably broken.

Delivers just about everything except what it's supposed to: a satisfying multiplayer experience. [Feb 2003, p.64]

The worst implementation of multiplayer gaming in recent memory... An utter debacle. [Feb 2003, p.91]
