  • New Staff Member, Civ4 Site Update

    As a result of `Transition 2006` [see story] some things will be changing around Apolyton, and some already have: shortly after the change in site ownership a new member was added to the Apolyton Staff -- Diadem (also known as Michiel in real life). He will be the new Civ4 Content Editor, responsible from bringing and keeping our Civilization IV section up-to-date.

    When I was asked if I wanted to join the Apolyton Staff I was quite honoured. I'm relatively new to Apolyton, I only joined up when Civ4 was released, and I'm not as well-known as many others. I do hope my posts on the forum have made some contribution to the community though, said Diadem.

    Our front page on Civilization 4 has long been neglected. Updating it - and keeping it updated - is an interesting challenge. One I will not be able to do alone. I can not possibly write all the content we want on my own. So I do hope to get the help of the community in writing interesting articles and strategy guides now that we are back on track in updating the site.

    Since his appointment Diadem has been working hard to complete and update the Civilopedia of our Civilization IV Information section, much of which hadn't been worked on since late 2005. It is now fully updated with all-new graphics and information that reflects the state of Civilization IV as per the latest patch (v1.61). The next step will be to add sections for the Warlords expansion.
    Diadem basically completely re-wrote our entire Civilopedia in about 2 weeks time. He rocks

              cool

              I'm like way behind. I had no idea of the change in ownership. Interesting. Definately want to stay up to date on Civ4 stuff to keep this site strong.

                    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.

                            Thanks for the warm welcome people!

                            I know most of you never visit the front page much. Neither did I, before joining the staff. Too be quite honest there wasn't much worth visiting. A civilopedia with the text "Factory?" next to a picture of a coal plant ... is probably slightly outdated.

                            We are looking to change that though. The civilopedia should now be completely up to date for vanilla civilization 4 version 1.62. If you find any errors or ommissions please let us know.

                            We'll start working on a warlords version for the civilopedia soon. It shouldn't take too long to write, most of the information for it can be copied from the vanilla version.

                            And the civilopedia is just the beginning. We're thinking about changing the layout, for a start. And we want to seriously expand the strategy section.

                            I hope you will all visit the front page a lot more often now that we are updating it Certainly our civilopedia is already prettier and better than those of the competition
