HELP NEEDED FOR 10TH BIRTHDAY FEATURE!
(5 July 2008, 14:44 | About | 23 comments) 
The 10th birthday of Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS) is July 26th, 2008 and your help is greatly needed to celebrate it! We are in need of now only ideas for a greater feature, but also volunteers to put those ideas into practice and available for inclusion in the feature. A logo is also needed.
Therefore, if you have an idea for the feature, are available to assist if not lead the creation of a feature or both, please post your interest, availability and specifics in this thread ASAP! As of this initial post it`s just three weeks away, and it would be ideal to have all items finalized and ready to go a day or two before then.
Without the community`s assistance, the birthday feature for ACS will be far too sparse for marking any of its birthdays let alone this decade milestone. - DanQ
`CIVILIZATION: COLONIZATION` FORUM ADDED
(11 June 2008, 21:41 | About | 4 comments) Towards upholding its policy to comprehensively cover Civilization titles, Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS) is today opening a forum set for Civilization IV: Colonization. Though only a general forum exists at present, it is anticipated that in the closer months to the game`s release it will be accompanied by related forums as has been done for previous Civ games throughout ACS` history.
The reason there is no "4"/"IV" in the title of this forum is to better distinguish it from Civilization IV: though set in CivIV`s universe, this is a stand-alone game and not an expansion. CivIV is not required to play this Colonization sequel. Dale "Dale" Kent, a ACS hosted staff member, has been installed as the forum set`s moderator. Set in the Civilization IV universe, Civ4Col is a stand-alone title that will not require CivIV to play. It is expected to be released sometime this fall. - DanQ

MODCAST: POLYCAST FAMILY EXPANDS
(19 January 2008, 23:34 | About | 65 comments) 
Apolyton Civilization Site is proud to announce that the PolyCast podcast family is expanding with a new show. The flagship show PolyCast is old enough to be a toddler so we figured it`s time to give it a little brother, and we`re calling it ModCast.
This new show, which will still fall under the greater PolyCast banner and be released bi-weekly in an alternating schedule with PolyCast itself, will be looking at modding of the Civilization series, with a strong focus on Civilization IV. The panelists will be composed of four veteran modders: former PC panelist and Desert War co-creator Wouter "Locutus" Snijders, Second Revolution creator and Road to War artist Tony "GarretSidzaka" Kiehl, MXMLL co-creator and CCCP team leader Kenneth "Impaler[WrG]" Ferland and last but not least Better Ship Scale creator and Age of Decadence artist Oscar "Elhoim" Velzi.
They will discuss everything that`s happening in the modding community: news, forum discussions and new releases of artwork, scenarios, Python and SDK mods and more. They`ll also spotlight bigger modding projects and interview the people behind them, as well as of course respond to listener feedback, whether through forums, mail or voicemail/VOIP.
Episodes, RSS feeds and contact info can be found on the PolyCast website (with one-click subscription links for iTunes and the like coming soon) and you can discuss the show on our Community forum. The first episode titled The Personification of Evil is now available. - Locutus
