Demo BEFORE Civ3's Release? -
Apolyton Civilization Site
The Altera Centauri collection has been brought up to date by Darsnan. It comprises every decent scenario he's been able to find anywhere on the web, going back over 20 years.
25 themes/skins/styles are now available to members. Check the select drop-down at the bottom-left of each page.
Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Why spoil the real thing with some half-assed demo?
Demos typcially do nothing but ruin people's impression of a game. Esecially in a game like this, where limiting the amount you can do while still making it fun / informative is next to impossible.
If they do the demo well, it would help convince people to buy the game. I got SMAC based on the demo.
"Remember, there's good stuff in American culture, too. It's just that by "good stuff" we mean "attacking the French," and Germany's been doing that for ages now, so, well, where does that leave us?" - Elok
If the SMAC-demo was pre-released a couple weeks before the main-game, theres no reason why they shoudnt follow the same procedure with a pre-released Civ-3 demo. The benefit? Well, I think Brian Reynolds comments speaks for itself. My only added advice, is that they should zip it together with a limited/pre-released map-editor as well, so that many handmade maps is already available & downloadable by the time the big main game is officially released.
The "Downloads" section of the Civ3.com homepage is the only section with room to grow, so maybe one of the items they plan to add is "Civ3 Demo". It would be nice.

If it's a good game a demo wont spoil the real game, it might get undecisive players to buy it.
It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars
But yes, a Demo (even a half-assed one) would be great!

Oh well, drinking too much caffeine is showing collateral effects for me as usual...
"We are reducing all the complexity of billions of people over 6000 years into a Civ box. Let me say: That's not only a PkZip effort....it's a real 'picture to Jpeg heavy loss in translation' kind of thing." - Admiral Naismith
but wouldn't a demo, resulting in lots of user feedback and more features/enhancements getting put into the game at the last minute cause a plethora of bugs to find their way into the game? SMAC did have a fair few, if I remember correctly.....
....as usual, there's a downside and an upside to everything
If the voices in my head paid rent, I'd be a very rich man
Did you know that at 2am GMT this morning there are just 1313 hours left until Civ3 releases That's if it releases at 00:00 EST on the 17th of the 10th.

There were some posts in the past to suggest that Yin was in fact Sid. While I didn't "bite" into that one, I am pondering the connection between Firaxis and Yin??????
Right before we hear any news from Firaxis, Yin comes in and starts ranting about this or that, and the next thing you know Firaxis is on top of it! Is Yin some kind of Fortune Teller? I think not! I do however feel he is closely connected to the inner workings of Firaxis somehow. Maybe Yin is Brian (just using a cover)? He could be any number of Firaxian insiders that frequent the forum.
I just think that too many coincidences have happened involving Yin to not consider what I have put forth. Those that have been following Yin's posts know what I'm refering to.
To Yin(and anyone else you claim to be):
I know you have the demo(if not the game itself), spare us the agony and SHARE!
