According to the what's new section on civ3.com, the last update is from 8/9/01.

Also the "civ of the week" (babylionians) is to be seen for some time now, but definitely more than a week old.

Is civ3.com going the same way as the firaxis civ3 preview site?

The site was slated to launch last Friday, but we launched it early because we were ahead of schedule. (So the Babylonians were up for 8 days rather than 7). The Civ of the Week updates will be done on Fridays from here on out.

....and, if you're wondering, yes, the site has been updated.

Notice I was able to post the news item before Dan made the forum posting.

Take it easy, tuckson. Dan was late by just about 2 hours in posting the update.

[Buck Birdseed]

I actually had that item ready and posted less than two minutes after Dan actually updated the page. And I waited 1.5 hours for it, too.

[KrazyHorse]

Yeah. I'll admit I was refreshing every 5 minutes or so.

You're a dedicated reporter Snappy, perhaps you should ask for a reduction at the poly store.

Actually, I don't think I ever gave a specific time, I just said it'd be up around mid-day our time. I think someone inferred that to mean noon.

It would have been sooner, but the server was busy from everyone reloading the page every half-second (just kidding)

All in due time, my good man... you know we'll be putting up a new civ every week, but you don't know when we'll be putting up new "Ask the Civ Team" entries, screenshots, or game updates.. guess that means you'll have to check the website out on a daily basis...

Where to post a suggestion?

Does Firaxis read this forum? If I want that Firaxis reads my question/suggestion, shall I post it here or to askthecivteam@firaxis.com published at civ3.com?
