I would guess that it's just a "war-chest", bundling Civ and Conquests (and
therefore PtW) into a single purchase.

The intended audience is for those who don't have Civ III Vanilla and
would now like the game with the addons. It's a common last commerical
product in a software line to have either a "Gold Edition" (Civ II) or
"Complete" (Civ III)

Well, as for adding things special, it's possible they might bundle
some free web content from various sites.

Having drive emulation software installed shouldn't, by itself,
trigger a copy protection block. Drive virtualization is too useful
for things like CDROM/DVD authoring, letting you make "test" copies
without burning CDs (taking time even with rewriteables).

It may be that one or more of your CD/DVD authoring tools includes
support for drive emulation, even if no virtual drive is enabled.

Still, I'd say, "Make the thing work anyway." The game itself
shouldn't complain whatsoever about drive presence, it is just the
copy protection code (which AFAIK in earlier editions only tested on
game run, not install, and as I *do* have a virtual drive set up,
didn't complain about it either).
