Having bought vanilla civ3 on the first day it was out in the Netherlands, and thus being quite disappointed with the huge load of gamebreaking bugs, I am quite hesitant to buy it immediately...
Maybe I'll look at my girlfriend really nice and then suggest it would be a nice present for "sinterklaas" or Christmas...
It's a shame the game comes out two weeks (or something) after my birthday, otherwise that would have been a nice option too.
