All the weapons and technologies were the same, just with different names and images. It would have made a good expansion, but that's it.

Between that and the unplayable civNET, I stopped buying Microprose games.

Too bad. CivNet was a mess, although it usually worked ok for me. Civ II multiplayer gold was the real deal however...

Of course, i'm more of a Master of Magic fan, but hey, there's nothing like getting mindzapped to get your squad's butt in gear.
