The only TRUE civ3 strategy guide was created by VELOCYRIX (spelling?).

I know that he was selling the guide, don't know if its still available... He should definately be brought in on any civ4 guide that is being planned!

You are mixing the guides up I think. He published a SMAC guide (though I still have the original e-version somewhere) and collated material into threads for Civ3. I don't think these were published and sold.

Get writing then Mark.

i'm the Publisher in this deal pal

so you take all the money, leave the writer with pennies, and then someone goes and copies our writing into the message board and the writer gets USD 00.56 for his work. Good plan

[MarkG]

seriously though, if we were to do this, we would have a zero-apolyton-profit price simply to avoid any kind of pennie-talk

a 100-pages paper back with "perfect bound" binding would cost $10...

[DrSpike]

Maybe it would be best to wait for the game to be released.

You could make it 10.5 with 0.5 Apolyton profit .

After that, why would I buy anything on paper?

I always have other books for that. I only read strategy guides while actually playing the game, and that involves an active Internet connection in the background.
