Game released before natural end of playtesting.Why?

[Gunter]

Every MOD concerns modern unit and modern facts.
Heli are useless,some modern units are missing (chopper,air transport etc.)
Too many easy macro mistakes in modern times (you know what I mean)

May I have your opinion?

Merry Christmas to all (Fireaxis too)

I agree.....

I agree with you that the game does not feel finished, expecially in the modern ages. There were SO many things that I was hoping for with the game that were left out. I was really excited to see the best of CivI, CivII, Alpha Centauri, CTPI, and CTPII rolled into one gigantic, great, CIVIII - but to my dissapointment, many, many things were left out. Never-the-less, It is still a great game.......at least in my opinion.

The distributors needed it on the market in time for Christmas. All else had to take a back seat. The patch caught a glaring error. I am having fun with it, so Happy Holidays.
