    dude, WTF
    we sent them the LIST shortly after we received news of the development, and EC3 after that, which was a long time ago, it seems like more than a year (correct me if I'm wrong) now, obviously, some of the concepts were already made, but the game was not near completion when we started giving input. If you look at the EC3 (there was an analysis of the list and the ideas that 'made it. a while back. ALmost all of the 'fixes,' a lot of which were new ideas in disguise, made it, and the 'new ideas' that didn't make it were imo not implementable and crazy

      LOL! Pathetic. We started the List of Ideas right after the announcement. Brian Reynolds publically asked me to lead the effort. Clear?

        Give me one original apolyton idea that will definetly be implemented and I will retract my statement.

        I just think we're all fooling ourselves if we think our input had any pull in the development process.

            I'll definately be buying the game the day it hits the shelves. Don't care if I get my hands on the regular or limited edition. I may even call in sick that day!

              I saw this from a Westlake programmer doing the Mac Port

              Typically, we set aside a month for first playable, a month for alpha, a month for beta and a month for "misc". We're almost to first playable now, so your guess at a GM date is as good as mine, based on that. It could go quicker if it stays as close, code-wise, to SMAC as it has. It could go longer if we run into a ton of bugs during beta, which would not be unusual for a game of this complexity.
              From this thread.

              If they have based Civ3 largely on the SMAC code as one of Firaxians said about them using the same programming platform (sorry if I got the name wrong for this but you know what I mean) then a lot of the compatibility bugs and their like will be pretty minimal which hopefully allowed them the time to hunt down and squish the gaming bugs.

              But like yin says - the history of the gaming industry suggests otherwise.

                looks like Yin couldnt come up with anything to defend his position. Anyone else want to take it on?
