In the Collector's Edition, three of history's most celebrated and feared
commanders come together at last. Relive the epic conquests of Alexander
the Great, march with Hannibal of Carthage, or quell an uprising with the
great Roman leader Julius Caesar. This critically-acclaimed simulation
assortment enables you to do it all. Plus, exclusively for the Collector's
Edition, the first two installments in the series have also been given a
facelift (which means those 2 are the only ones included), with improved
terrain graphics and smoother gameplay.
It's the ultimate challenge for fans of ancient warfare.

Three campaigns and dozens of single battles recreating the greatest
conquests of Alexander, Hannibal, and Caesar.
Historically accurate troops, tactics, and detailed artwork.
Battles come alive with detailed combat animations and sounds.
Unique, initiative-based command system accurately recreates the
challenges of ancient warfare, as well as the relative strengths and
weaknesses of each leader and his troops.
Solo, head-to-head or cooperative modem play, LAN, and Internet support.
New to the Collector's Edition:
Improved Terrain Graphics and Smoother Gameplay for the first two
installments: Alexander and Hannibal. This makes for an entirely new game
experience - even if you have played it before!
A Complete Scenario Editor. Allows players the ability to create their
own stand-alone battles, including alternate historic scenarios with units
from all three time periods. Could Alexander's elite forces have held
their own against the Roman legions? Create you own alternate-history
scenario and find out!

In light of recent events perpetrated by our so-called competition, we at
CLASS PC would like to make a few things clear to you the end-user:
Over the past 2 days we have witnessed new heights of lameness - as 2 groups
who are self-proclaimed abiders of the S.P.A. regulations chose to break
those very agreed upon guidelines while attempting to cover it up through
false claims that a supposed final S.P.A. vote had taken place as well as
an agreement to usher in a new disk limit of 90 x 1.44MB disks.
This is completely and blatantly false. Yes the groups who comprise the
S.P.A. committee have been and still are discussing the possibility of
raising the disk limit. Coincidentally this is an ammendment that we at
CLASS PC do NOT and we cannot possibly stress how stern we are in our
convictions that we do NOT want the limit raised above 75 x 1.44MB disks.
The 2 above mentioned groups would have you believe that CLASS voted YES
in the supposed final vote that never took place, but this is FALSE. In
the preliminary votes, we voted NO and in the final vote we will vote NO
to the further degredation of the games scene.
The entire purpose of the CD-RIP games scene is, was and always will be to
deliver an end product that is of a size that can be easily downloaded and
played by those who do NOT have high-speed modem connections - while at
the same time delivering a product that has complete functionality and
playability. As the current limit stands at 75 disks, we and every other
group with any miniscule amount of stripping/cracking knowledge can achieve
this ideal product. There are roughly 5-10% of games put on the market that
cannot be released below this limit with an appropriate music addon if so
requested. Those 5-10% of games are games that should either a) be bought,
thus supporting the software developers we so often neglect or b) be
downloaded in the fast growing, largely available ISO format.
It is in the best interest of the end-users, siteops and active groups to
quash this proposition now, before we all suffer blows in the categories
of quality rips and quality of software released. We can safely say that
very few if any are interested in 90 disk non-standalone addons, or in
a worst case scenario, 90 disk multimedia Mah-Jong or edutainment software.
We're sorry to have drawn this out so long, but there is so much to be
said as far as this issue goes. In conclusion, we do NOT condone a 90 disk
limit on game rips released. We did NOT vote yes in the S.P.A. tallies. We
will ALWAYS continue to try our hardest to bring you small game rips, with
functionality and playability intact - along with appropriate addons. We
understand that the vast majority of you are on 56k or slower modem
connections, and you deserve to be able to download the software you want in
a reasonable amount of time. Those of you who can afford faster links
should look to the future, to ISOs for those 5-10% of games that go
unreleased because they cannot fit in 75 x 1.44MB archives. Take time to
reflect on the above presented issue, and make it known to all your
favorite game release groups that you are all-for the preservation of the
games scene, hence you are against raising the disk limit at this time.
