'Official' releasedate: November

[Robert]

The 'official' website www.civanon.org gives November as a release 'date'.

That's six long months!

Errrm... in the E3 interview, Barry Caudill said:

We started working on the game about 2 years ago and expect to have it in stores for the holidays.

Anyone got a clues as to what holidays he meant? I live in France, when speaking of 'the holidays' here, it means june/july/august

But I guess September it will be - no false hopes...

thanks CyberShy

only two hours ago on the train we were just talking about when they would release it...

[Modo44]

Yeah, tell that to the Polish publisher, if there even is one yet...

[AeonOfTime]

@Modo44: do you absolutely need one? I'm in france, and I usually order from amazon UK to have the game in english - or are you waiting ofr a polish translation?

Not to play it—my English is good enough. But it will cost much more if I have to buy it abroad, at least for a while after it is released.

september is a false hope.
November is the official target if you would have visited civanon.org. It may only become later. Never earlier.

Where's the release-date prediction thread?
What date did I pick again?

@Modo44: ut it will cost much more if I have to buy it abroad, at least for a while after it is released.

You mean you did not start putting little euro bills under your pillow each month when Civ4 was announced?

Aaargh! I know a little healthy pessimism cannot do any harm, but NOVEMBER?...

I mean I could buy other things too if I get CIV cheaper. But hey, I might skip pepsi for half a year—that would "make" about enough money... and so healthy it would be.

Of course I will buy it anyway. CivCrack has me.

Et merde...

Because of an unknown flow somewhere, I cannot watch the videos. Could someone give me the link to them, so I can download them (and then maybe I'll be able to watch them)

Thanks !

If you mean the videos from civanon.org, here's the link to the main movie:

Yeah. Here in North America, when we refer to "the holidays" we're usually referring to the Christmas holidays, not the summer holidays.

[Shogun Gunner]

Dropping the "North", of "North America" will define "the holidays" as starting with Thanksgiving Day on November 26 through New Years Day. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving Day on a different day.

November... which year?
