      You're probably right. I have had much to do today, so I didn't read it all good enough I guess.

          I have a feeling Civ4 will use the same 3D engine they licensed for pirates 2. We'll finally get 3D terran and maybe a nice dynamic 3D city view.

          I know, these are peanuts, but nice additions, especially the city view. I've always wanted a more dynamic city view that reflects the uniqueness of each city, and subtleties of changes throughout the ages. Imagine watching your captial city in 3D with smoke emerging from the temples, the sun the background, and the palace off in the distance. And with each era, the buildings change etc.

          I think even the bare minimum 3D card these days can do images like that.

              I'm looking forward to what Civilization IV will have to offer.

                  They will have to do a major overhaul for it to be a success.

                  They said they were interested in Massively Multiplayer, maybe they will go 3D and have it as an MM game.

                  Sony was working on something similar, I think it was called Imperial or something...

                    having the multiplayer sort of work liek the diablo multiplayer or nwn multiplayer might be something to think about

                    like have servers set up to play multiplayer on, where you can come in and out without too much hassle (and there are always peopel to play with)

                    and also being able to play on your home lan

                      Civ 2 lasted about 8 years before Civ 3. Civ 3 seemingly will last only about 3 years before Civ 4. Is this an indictment of Civ 3? I'm thinking it is. Discuss....

                        How could they do it Massively Multiplayer? A Gigantic 10,000x10,000 Map with 1000 Civs? You'd need a Pentium 20 server to run that.

                          civ3 was delayed due to microprose (who had the name rights) not having any good people(sid, brian and co) and/or resources to do it. smac with earth graphics(more or less, you get the idea) would be civ3 if the firaxians were still on mps

                          beyond that, notice that there is still no official announcement. pirates is already announced and coming in 2004. i'm thinking at least 2005 for civ4
                          civ3 was released in 2001 so that's 4 years, a pretty normal amount of time between sequels

                            Civ 2: Release 1996

                            Civ 3: Release 2001

                            8 years...I don't think so

                              Nah, not too great news. Apparently this smells like an attempt to make dosh quicker than previously with Civ. The average cycle between new titles has been 5 years. Now they seem to be cutting down on the unwritten tradition of "one new Civ every 5 years." Annoucing Civ IV in 2003 would mean a release sometime in 2005 most likely. Not in 2006 or so. One can only wonder if Firaxis is trying to become the new MicroProse with all these Civ III expansions and the rapid decision to make Civ IV. I myself don't wait for Civ IV yet. Civ II is still so sweet cuddly, while Civ III is also a good one to play.

                                i would have been more excited about smac2
