since there are a ton of civ fans in here maybe someone can answer this question that I really don't want to create a new thread for.

Can I buy the UK import version of an expansion pack and have it work on the US version of the game? I ask because I can get it for $5 compared to $15 for the US version.

I would say no. I'm betting there is a region check of some sort.

That's false. PCs don't have region markings.

I know the PC has no region checking (other than DVD drive for movies), but the quesiton is does Civ have any region checking? I'm guessing no too (since mod's can work anywhere). I'd just hate to waste $5 when I could have bought a perfectly good VC game with the money.

As I said, the only problem could arise would be from the languages not being compatible or something. I've used games from other continents easily on my PC before.

That's only for when watching movies.
