Firaxis Devs Q&A

[Lorizael]

I don't want to give the enemy site traffic, but a community manager from 2K is asking the posters there for questions about the game, which she will send along to the developers. If we want to know more, this is our chance.

Grrrrr.

-Not growling at you, of course.

[Guynemer]

WELP.

[Lorizael]

I find it kind of odd that they're mostly asking questions like, "Will it be better than Civ5?" The developers either won't answer those questions or will answer "yes." I want juicy game details.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

That's CFC for you...

How about asking questions here and posting a link in that thread

(Firaxis truly does love working with their communities!)

I debated whether or not to even mention Apolyton in the thread. It seems kind of sleazy to blatantly advertise like that.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

I'm insulted.

I have a link to Apolyton in my sig there ... I figure I should warn people about where I come from. (I posted on Apolyton before CivFanatics, though I was on CivFanatics staff long before ever having any official duties here at Apolyton.)

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Sig links are great for SEO, if nothing else. You gotta be thinking about stuff like that all the time when you're building a place.

Has anyone PMed her about 'poly?

[Aeson]

I sent her a message, but I'm sure she got a lot of them

Probably the most important bit:

Promotions are still assigned to individual units. So if you can preserve that first Marine unit until endgame, they’re going to be carrying all the promotions they earned through their history, even though they look nothing like when they were first built. They’ll be far more powerful by then.
