This expansion added eight new civilizations to the game, and including the eight civilizations from Play the World this brings the total number of playable civilizations up to thirty-one (the maximum supported by the game).
The new civilizations are the Byzantines, the Dutch, the Hittites, the Incans, the Mayans, the Portuguese and the Sumerians.
In addition to these playable civilizations, graphics for the Austrians are present in the editor so one can replace an existing civilization.
Two new special traits are added in this pack: seafaring and agricultural.
Many of the new civilizations take advantage of these new traits (e.g. the Sumerians are Scientific and Agricultural), and some old civilizations are changed to more appropriate ones (e.g. the English have been changed from Expansionist and Commercial to Seafaring and Commercial).
New governments have also been added to the game, Feudalism and Fascism, and new Wonders of the World such as the Statue of Zeus and the Mausoleum of Mausollos.
Four new bonus resources have been included, two of which provide food bonuses to previously unprofitable terrain.
Oases can now be found in deserts, tropical fruit in jungles, sugar on plains and hills, and tobacco on grasslands and hills.
In addition, two new types of terrain have been added.
These are marshes and volcanoes.
Players cannot construct cities on marshes, and cannot improve volcanoes in any way.
Like jungles and flood plains, cities that have at least 1 citizen working a marsh may succumb to disease.
Volcanoes may periodically erupt, destroying all improvements and cities and killing any units in some or all adjacent squares.
The centerpiece of this expansion pack, however, was the inclusion of scenarios, intended for multiplayer gaming.
Unlike the main ("epic") game, these scenarios took much less time to play, and focused on a specific period in history.
Generally the reception of this expansion pack was much better than that of Play the World.
One year after Conquests was launched, the latest Civilization III stand-alone version, Civilization III: Complete was also released.
This version included Civilization III, Play the World and Conquests.
This version also includes several patches.
Two years later, in 2005 Civilization IV was released.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Sid Meier's Civilization III: Conquests for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Sid Meier's Civilization III: Conquests to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2003.

Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
