If it comes down to a choice between graphics and customization, graphics will win hands down. There will be a greater number of customers who lack either the skill or the will to customize the game, so they will be catered for with nice graphics. But that isn't so bad. Maybe Firaxis can make it so that you can download 3D meshes into the game files: Loading 3D Studio Max R 2.5 Opening stormtrooper.max Replacing infantry 3D mesh with stormtrooper.max

My guess it will be released DEC 14th,2000.
But it won't be from Firaxis !!!
It'll be released only thru the Internet at brianreynolds.com
It'll be titled "Gotcha" |

Time for a mid-course correction. I am revising my ETA for Civ III from 4Q 2001 to 2Q 2002. If it ships before then I'll be ecstatic, but I don't think we'll be seeing it this year. |

Okay, my votes are on Bob Hope, Pope John Paul II, Milton Berle, Boris Yeltsin, Elia Kazan...Wait a minute. This isn't the Civ 3 death pool.

Spring of 2002. Just in time for the summer season so that I can't work to pay for the college semester that I had just wasted waiting for Civ III. |

No, I bet Civ III will be released THIS (2001) year. Ready or not.
They haven't Sid Dinos to sell in the waiting until 2002, as I supposed a year ago. Fresh money matters.------------------

And that's what makes me want ot believe a 2001 release also. Of course we don't want the game to be finished hastily, but it'll be almost three years if it's released toward the end of this year. Also, on the website, they say that they are hoping for a fully-fledged product site by spring-summer. How much later can the release be? I hope it doesn't take long to hit the shelves in my country. speaking of a "release", I recall this: some time ago, a conversation like this had happened:
friend: civ 3 is released
me: what? when? how? where did you see it?
friend: that's what this magazine says. but it's no longer Sid Meier, i think activision will release it. It says that there are many more improvements, advances and nations. So as soon as I was finished with school business, I rushed to buy C(Drop it soon!):CTP  Back then, what made me hesitate at first was that there was no Sid, and I was right in my prejudice. I'm sure that many of you, when asked for an explanation for rotten school grades, accused "Sid Meier", because that's what Civ means. Now I'm waiting for the *real* sequel and it WILL be magnificent.

Frankly, I doubt that Civ3 will be released before 2002. With a game that has to stand up to a legacy as large as Civ, it will take several months of bug fixing, and fine tuning. Firaxis wants to get this right, or else the Civ legacy will go down the drain.------------------

Not really, probably 2 strikes til firaxis is out =). Screwing up once isn't THAT bad, but still bad. |

When ever the release date is...I just hope that Firaxis/Hasbro doesn't release a lemon like Activision did with CTP2!
