    Dan, just a thought, if you no longer handle civ3.com, you could become one of the Apolyton's regulars and post here like 40 times a day .

      What excatly is an associated producer? Or a producer for that matter? Is it something similar to a Project leader/manager?

      So long...

        Hi Pioneer,

        You're right, that's exactly what a producer is in this business. Usually each product has a producer who is ultimately responsible for it. A lot of the time this means stuff like doing plans in Microsoft Project and timetracking the team, but it also means things like helping with design docs, testing, etc.. -- basically it's a producer's job to make sure nothing "falls through the cracks" so to speak.

          Okay I get it - this is a thread for bad English speakers
          Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

          Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

            basically it's just a way for managers to know instantly who to fire when something goes wrong, so that they can safely say that they did something about the failure

              associate producer = scapegoat?
              I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

                when producers realise the... reality of their position, they ask for an associate producer to "help them"(=take the fall if needed)

                    I do something similar at work but my name is by no means as glamorous! I originally thought that the producers of a movie, game, etc. are people that put a project together from idea to finish and most importantly they also invested in financial terms!

                    Anyway, since I know you will be reading this Dan I'd like to say thank you for a great game.
