Or maybe Warlords is all finished, already been mass produced, already put in boxes, shrink wrapped, and is currently being shipped from what ever third world hellhole it is manufactured in.
I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

I see lots of release dates around. Are they all just guesses as usual or is there a confirmed date/rough date?
In my estimation, it'll come out in late July. Though, I could be wrong -- Warlords could actually be the most elaborate hoax the game world has ever seen!

I was surprised to see such early dates though - it was November that Civ4 came out and I was expecting the x-pack at roughly the same point in the year, just before Christmas.

I work at a CD/DVD replication facility and I have not seen it yet. But we dont get too many game orders at our site.
Did see Microprose XCOM3 though last year in the overages cage which was strange as that game is pretty oldish.

Civilization IV vanilla will satisfy me for the next couple of years at least. I'll get Warlords when its bundled in a 'complete' package. Warlords can wait until July 07 for all I care.

Agreed. I can't beat the game as is, why would I want to make it harder?
Well, I think a good vassal system, for instance, isn't so much about changing the difficulty level but the fun of the game itself. A series of 1v1s that you can typically either start yourself or see coming makes for a pretty predicable (though still fun, I grant you) sort of game. Now, vanilla isn't always predictable, don't get me wrong, but a good vassal implementation on a map with enough civs for it to really matter could take the game in really fun directions.

I am excited to see a few improvements to the vanilla game, and am eager to get my hands on the expansion. The vanilla game is great, but I pretty much just play it against other humans these days. Perhaps learning how to play with the new units, buildings, traits and stuff and the scenarios will make beating up the AI fun again for me.

If you have vanilla why would you wait for a complete package?
I don't want to be a doomsayer (I will buy Warlords for sure) but Civ x-packs/follow ups have a poor history. ToT was weak, FW weak. PTW's main new feature was hopelessly broken out of the box and if you weren't into MP it was basically just a patch with a few small new things. C3C was most promising - it added some new traits and bells and whistles, but also scenarios of dubious worth (check out my scenario thread) and rebroke the corruption model, with most of the problems never ever being fixed.
I know some had problems, but for me Civ4's release was exemplary, and the game polished.
However, we have to face the truth - it's hard to do good x-packs for Civ games. Can the Civ4 x-pack break the x-pack curse?
