Any word...?

... on the shelves Oct. 27, at least in this part of the world.

October 28th is the release date, and whether that is the date of SHIPPING, or the on-the-shelves date, I am not sure.

I checked today with a store here that will be carrying it, and they're supposed to have it available on the 29th.

oh come on... fighting about 1-2 days if some people will have to wait several months more for the game

Is there any word on the combat changes (if any)?

From what I've read the only combat chagnes are some sort of improvement to the bombard ability, the addition of anti-air unit ability (finally AEGIS will work properly) and improved AI for naval operations.

There was something listed as "Combat modifiers", wasn't there?

[Stuie]

Ok... this is from the "Features" list on civ3.com:

More Unit Abilities: Including Stealth Attack, Enslavement, and other bonus attack modifiers (e.g. damage multipliers can now be applied to units).

I believe the latter was shelved recently, if I remember reading correctly. So no pikeman with a 50% bonus against Knights.

I might be wrong about this though.

I read this too on the Firaxis/Atari chat at CFC.

Pretty large doubts that I'll buy it then.

I've found that release dates for the past couple years have been real good once you get doww to the last few months before. Why? What changed? I think the fact that the publishers have to pay a lot to get titles on store shelves for a few weeks has something to do with it. They don't want to pay the money and then not have the title there when the window they paid for is open.

Geez, you aren't fussy are you? It sounds like there's going to be a whole bunch of additions to the game and you're whining about one small detail? This is going to be a much better expansion pack than PTW by the sounds of it.
