And ah, it will be nice to match wits with the dread Tupi again. I never knew they existed until I played the original game... It taught so much history!

I am so happy I could cry.
I was really yearning for Colonization - one of my favorite games of all time. I was reading about it on wikipedia and remembering all those fun times I had wiping out natives, other colonies, and the king's army. I had quietly accepted that I would never be able to do it again..... but now this!
Awesome, simply awesome. Fall '08 better mean soon...

Welcome to Poly.
And it gets better, Fall '08 has been confirmed by Firaxis as "September '08"!

Oh, stratozyck , you might also like to know this- you can still play your old colonization even on XP and Vista if you still have the CD and download a program called DosBox... (!) It's surprising. http://www.dosbox.com/

Will there be new sound effects in the final build? I watched a video and noticed the exact same sound effects as Civ IV. What's the point of having new music, refreshed graphics etc, when stale old sound effects are being used? By sound effects, I specifically mean battle victory sound/battle defeat sound, etc.

Does anybody know if C4C will be available on Steam? I see GamersGate is selling pre-orders, but I'd very much prefer Steam.

I won't ask why... but I think it is coming out on steam, though I don't know if it's 100% confirmed.

There is a dearth of information regarding its release on Steam which leads me to believe it won't be coming out on the platform. I'd hoped somebody here might have a bit of info regarding the matter.
From the total lack of information it's easy to surmise that there may have been a rift between 2K Games and Valve over the particulars of this release. It's happened before with other games (most recently Bionic Commando Rearmed from Capcom).
Why what? Why I prefer Steam? It's simply my favorite digital distribution system. Stardock's service is the best in terms of rights management and customer support but Steam's usability is great, it has a huge catalog and their "Community" system is coming together nicely (nicely enough that I'm using Steam as the center of all my PC gaming endeavors, in fact).
A friend recently noted that the release of Colonization has been tepid in comparison with other Firaxis launches of late. Is it just me? It seems that C4C has been "riding under the radar" for a while, so to speak.

So nobody knows. It's just odd; you'd think availability details would be all over the place by now, what with this being such a big title.

I'd call that fairly definitive, but it's up to you
The various direct-download services are all pretty lousy at promoting upcoming games unless they're A+ titles, to be honest. Direct2Drive (my preferred option) basically promoted Spore and that's it recently; they'll near-certainly have Col (2K has an agreement with them to distribute Civ titles, IIRC, and has every version of Civ out there on D2D all the way back to Civ2); but they have no evidence of carrying Col (and the same with BtS back when it was first released, and same with Warlords, IIRC).
More than likely it's just that they don't really have big marketing budgets yet, so they don't spend time on it; but I would wonder how many folks have preordered Col off Gamersgate that would normally do so off D2D but couldn't find a link to do so...
