This is worrying.
The Atari website for Australia lists C3 as available there and in NZ from the 14th. My local NZ retailers still say the 18th, and it hasn't reached here yet from anything I can see, and no-one has yet posted saying they have the game.
BUT, the UK Atari website doesn't mention Conquests ANYWHERE. Not as released, not for release...
According to the cov3 news site, one of the Firaxians said that everywhere except Asia had C3C. What about NZ, Oz and the UK? Surely none of these are in Asia, particularly not the UK?
What in the blue hell is going on?Comment

I went into Game on Oxford Street yesterday and saw a rack of Conquests boxes with stickers on saying something like "Out on Friday, pre-order now!" Naturally, this being Saturday, I assumed it meant the previous day, since I was under the impression that it had shipped on Thursday 14th. Imagine my annoyance when I tried to buy the thing and was told that it was indeed NEXT Friday, and for now they had only the boxes but nothing to go inside...Comment

It's a farce I tell you. Whoever is in charge of Atari logistics in these areas of the world wants to be handed their P45 (or local equivalent)

Well, in Belgium, The Freerecordshop website
has it for a Nov. 14th release , but the very
nice lady I spoke to yesterday at my local
Freerecordshop said it was out by the end of the
month.
as a sidenote, the Dutch Freerecordshop website
has it for a October 30th release.

To be fair, that was a guesstimate on her part,
judging from when most game titles come
in after their release date. (Her computer
showed a release of mid-november).
That's not gonna stop me from going down there
twice a week (and other shops) to see if
it's there yet.
In fact, I'm going in about an hour.

And I just went hunting for Conquests again,
but alas, still no sign of it.

I have checked my Amazon.co.uk account, and they are still saying that the game will be despatched TODAY!! 18/11, but at the same time it clearly says that it has not been despatched.
The worst thing is that the UK web for Civ3 does not mention Conquests at all...
Sad, very sad.

I had pre ordered mine from Amazon.uk and I am still waiting for it to be dispatched. I don't know what to say. It usually takes only a few days for it to arrive here in Germany

Well, the continued delay clearly fits the 'history as cockup' model. But with time to fill, I thought I might as well start a 'history as conspiracy' theory.
The CIA are making us wait for Conquests in the UK. While Dubya is over here, it is far too inflammatory and subversive to give us access to a programme which shows how non-Democratic governments can prosper, and in which wars are openly fought for nothing more noble than securing oil resources.
So we'll have to wait until he's back in the plane before we can get our hands on it.
How about a mod to the diplomatic options, in which you can improve your standing with another civ by inviting them to your capital on a state visit.....but there's a chance your people will react to the guest by putting your capital into civil disorder, disrupting production, and vandalising your palace (which remains in that state on the Palace View screen until their next offer to improve it)?
More timefilling. Dubya and the Queen are getting on well because they've discovered how much they have in common; neither was elected to office, and they're each only there because of who thier father was.War can so easily be gilt with romance and heroism and solemn national duty and patriotism and the like by persons whose superficial literary and oratorical talent covers an abyss of Godforsaken folly - G B ShawComment
