The eagle soars and flies in peace and casts its shadow wide Across the land, across the seas, across the far-flung skies. The foolish think the eagle weak, and easy to bring to heel. The eagle's wings are silken, but its claws are made of steel. So be warned, you would-be hunters, attack it and you die, For the eagle stands for freedom, and that will always fly.

Thank you Firaxis for making for what appears to be a fantastic Civ3. Many people (including myself once in a while) harped on all of you for various reasons. The only thing you could have done is kept us more informed about Civ3 over this past summer (do you know how bored I was). Overall, I think you did a great job and hopefully you have further plans in the series of Civ3. Whether that be an expansion pack or quite possibly Civ4.

However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.
CONGRATULATIONS FIRAXIS!

Exactly - I recon the only European nations who get a localized version are Germany, France and Spain. Why does the rest of Europe need to wait for their version to be produced when in the end we'll just get the US version anyway?!?!?!
Hell, I think a lot of players who have the choice between a localized and the US version will choose the latter anyway.

Wow, they really ripped you off. Who did you order from? CB shipment is USD 71....Originally posted by Rege
Well Dan, here in Portugal we NEVER get localized version (Thank God) But I've already pre ordered LE which will cost me 88 dollars with S&H.
If the version comes sooner than 30 Nov I will surely cancel my pre-order.
I sincerely hope that they ship LE firstI cannot allow some Yanks and Brits to play the game while I slowly go mad...

So every day between 10th and 20th of November is gonna be the day. Luckily I already served my army duty so I am used to counting the last few days![]()

This is great news ,because now it can go into production and hopefully work on the port the English

cheers.

Well poly time will have to be cut back on the release of civ3 for a while with sporadic updates and the like. Also the computers around here aren't fast enough for civ3, this thing is lethargically slow. I would rather play on my fast computer in the comfort of my own home.

Oh yeah baby
Time to get one of those small fridges and install it next to my computer and stock up with soft drink, food that requires little effort (preferably can be imbibed via a straw to avoid my hands having to move away from the keyboard and mouse). Dammit, I work in a hospital, I'll just get an IV line and some bags of saline and glucose, should keep me going for days without having to leave the computerBetter get a few shots of caffeine as well in that lot

I'm all excited! I just hope it will arrive in the Netherlands soon after or 30/10. I pre-ordered the LE edition. I just hope the terrorist actions will not delay the delivery....![]()

What am I going to do with myself... I have waited for civ3 for so long, the gnawing anticipation is now a part of my very being. Although I am excited about the release of the game, I sense an existential crisis on the horizon. Life suddenly seems meaningless...
