Most people aren't fond of losers. So you should stop acting like one. It's not funny to trick people like that. I actually thought you were serous. As soon as I saw what you wrote, I immediately clicked on your link not bothering to read the rest of your post. That's allright, though.THEY JUST UPDATED THE SITE! CHECK IT OUT!However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.Comment

maybe we should be a little careful with the word "loser" here. i mean, we're discussing a game that doesn't even exist yet, probably 6 months before it does.Comment

Yeah, that's true. It doesn't matter, though, I was just joking.maybe we should be a little careful with the word "loser" here. i mean, we're discussing a game that doesn't even exist yet, probably 6 months before it does.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true?

Well, if it means anything, I didn't check out the site before reading the whole post because...well...one sort of had to know it was a joke.

I kind of figured that it might be a joke. Then I thought what if, so I skipped the rest of the post. It's not the first time somebody has done something like this.Well, if it means anything, I didn't check out the site before reading the whole post because...well...one sort of had to know it was a joke.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true?

firaxis isnt updating the site because they are busy developing the game.
personally i'd rather have a low bug count than frequesnt updates.

Yes, we all would but I seriously don't having somebody like Dan making updates will affect the progress of the game programming, play testing, fixing bugs, etc...personally i'd rather have a low bug count than frequesnt updates.
Actually the only person that updating the site would take away from play testing is Dan. I won't feel too bad if Dan would have to spend a couple hours away from playing Civ3 to update the site.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true?

This really isn't an "either or" situation. Making a brief site update every week is something I could do in the time I usually spend on coffee breaks (which is substantial, to be fair), and I'm hardly a wizard. It's inexcusable to leave us this long without any information.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

true, but we can celebrate an anniversary of sorts (um, more like a montlyersary or something.....)
in 2 days it's 2 months since the last update!Comment

Does anybody think that the delay could be because they are working in a HUGE update with a lot of mini-tutorials, downloads,etc?

Well they HAVE updated the site since 11 May ... to stick the E3 links and badges on the front page. So it can't have been a virus that wiped all knowledge of web development out of the team. Perhaps Dan was ordered not to do anything else until he finds five enthusiastic E3 previews of Civ-3 to link to the site and he's still searching for a fifth one
To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

is any one else as pissed about there not being an update in 2 manths as me? they had all the damn news in the world for us earlier in the summer. there would be like 2 news updates in the civ 3 section a day! now the last piece of "news" was some load of crap about yin giving sid meir the idea for sim golf. i don't think that matters anyhow, it seems like the game was really made by the sim people (is it still maxis?)
my point is, why all the news before, further away from the release date than we are now and no news whatsoever now that we're getting closer. it doesn't even make good bussiness sense. there should have been less before and a lot more now, it just makes more sense.
and also, the news about map sizes and the game running on win2000 doesn't really float my boat eitherPrince of...... the Civ Mac ForumComment
