Who is he talking to? It´s not Soren or Jeff apparently...

How closely is Sid Meier involved in the design of the game and which other key members of the Civ team are on board?

Sid is the Creative Director here at Firaxis, so he is always involved in various ways whether it be simply through providing guidance, general oversight, being the subject of "focus testing", or taking full control as he did for Pirates. For Civ, he is taking a more hands-off approach because Soren has already proven he knows how to update and improve upon Civ since he did that with Jeff Briggs on Civ III.

Many of the 38 internal developers on the project were also on Civ III or one of the expansions. I have been on every Civ title since Civ II: Multiplayer Gold, so I may be the next most experienced Civ developer after Sid and Jeff Briggs (our Founder and CEO).

So who is he? My Firaxis staff knowledge is a bit off this morning

I don't know who is being interviewed, but I do remember this interview from a Spanish online magazine from around 2-3 months ago. Hope this helps.

[Zoid]

Nope, it doesn´t help one bit

[Zoid]

By using my awesome powers of deduction I´ve figured out it´s Barry Caudill.

You know, I came to the exact same conclusion just a few minutes ago and, based on my recollection, that was exactly who they WERE interviewing. It is old news though, I'm afraid.

Yes, it felt that way reading it. And to answer the question in the Op. Yes, I did

Shiit... I was going to vote old news, and then that **** mouse decided to move a little longer...

[GeoModder]

Yeah right!

[Zoid]

Nikolai, you might want to see a doctor if your hand twitches that bad

[Nikolai]

No, it's my brother who has switched my good mouse underlay with a silly(but "cool") plastic thing.

[Zoid]

Switch it back then. Poly takes precedence to silly plastic things

[Nikolai]

I wish I could, but I can't find the old one. Well, tomorrow I'll travel back to the place I go to school at, then I'll have my own things again.

Put the "cool" plastic thing on a scanner and let us SEE it, please!
Could be the next fad in consumerism (and I might be enticed by it).

[Nikolai]

Sorry, don't have a scanner.
