That seems to be such a waste of good money. You will get the same thing with the game manual.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Well if the book is being published on release date that means they have had to have the book ready for editing and publishing about six weeks ago. Firaxis was still changing stuff so that means if the strategy guide writer has even played the game it was an old beta version with the wrong numbers. No way is it worth the money. Want more evidence, read what Alan Emerich, a former strategy game writer has to say http://hometown.aol.com/aemrich111/a...11/decline.htmAbout 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes.

Having in this board Velocyrix, one of the best man in show for writing Strategy Guides for SMAC, I'd suggest to wait the man and see.
He already announced his interest for a Civ III similar effort and, while the last guide version for SMAC come a bit too late IMHO, his work was excellent since the first release.
Vel is our strategy analyst, have faith in him (and in some others great players who deserve credits fro the help they give to Vel)."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."

Funny you should mention Vel, because I think with the new gameplay concepts in CivIII, he (being a 'builder' of sound mind and judgement) will probably be having a blast with this game.
I can also forsee him getting a guide together for CivIII, and perhaps, even making some real money thins time around for his efforts.Comment

It looks like the strat guide will be shipped on 10/24 according to EBWorld. The funniest thing that I discovered was a "review" of the stratgey guide

A payed review before the book is printed seems really awful to me. 
I really feel the need for starting a boycott campaign
... Nah, too much effort.

FYI -- the strategy guide release date has been pushed out to October 31st according to ebworld's web site. I was looking forward to being able to do some bed time reading before the game came out, but ahh, no luck.Comment
