"Firaxis Q&A" (Part 1/5)

[DanQ]

During ApolyCon '06 held in Timonium, Maryland last July, Firaxis Games Director of Creative Development Sid Meier, Designer/Programmer Soren Johnson and Senior Producer Barry Caudill answered attendee questions about the company, the Civilization series and computer strategy gaming in general. Recorded by event Chairman Daniel "DanQ" Quick, what they said is now being made publicly available in a series of installments.

In the first of five parts, Meier takes center stage to take about the Civ series' beginnings to CivII. In the final minute or two, he hands it over to Johnson to continue the series story at CivIII and eventually onto CivIV.

Available for listening in streaming 64kbps MP3 format, Part 1 runs for 16m02s (7.3MB); please note that due to the approach to recording, its technical quality is not ideal even after numerous post-production efforts but is by and large listenable. Part 2 is scheduled to be published on February 26th.
