OK, feeling better now.

[Atahualpa]

Go Sid! Go!

[Grier]

It would have been good if sid had left comments on some of the ideas so that we could improve some of the ideas more. But knowing that he has read them and is even going so far as to use some of them. I think all games companies should disband their R&D and just allow everyone at Apolyton to generate ideas for them!

[Hugo Rune]

Hooray!

[FinnishGuy]

Hugo, your thumb points the wrong way.

No Thunderfall. I was really half surprised and half happy when I saw the message from Sid. Guess this forum will be vigourous as past days due to overwhelming stimulation.

Wow! Excellent! Improved trade and diplomacy, combat with armies and leaders...

But Sid still hasn't said if religion is in. Come one, I want to know if all my work has been naught

[Adm.Naismith]

CyberShy, no need to pre-order. With a great P.R. move Firaxis will give to us at Apolyton five hundred copies of CIV III for free, to send as a gift to the Apolytoner that most contribute with their effort to the design of the game

Ok, it's only a dream, but if you think twice, that will be only around a 15 thousand dollars to give away for Firaxis, where it will end to be a really smart move IMO.

It will be very cost/effective also relating to common Advertising cost and an investment on enthusiastic users: how many of us will be harsh about some "first release" glitches and bugs if the game will be a thank gift from Firaxis?

Sid, are you still reading?

maybe instead of 500 copies of the final game they should give Apolyton 500 copies of the beta test and actually listen to a few of our beta test suggestions...i'd be way more than happy with that

YES YES YES

Psst: Sid, when? I feel I can't wait any more. OK, if it takes time to make it good, then I'll wait . Just make it awesome.

[Robert]

C'mon, we shouldn't be that selfish !

Understand it must be confusing for SID that he's working on a game, puts time and money in it, posts a message, and then the replies he receives are all like "I wanna have it for freeeeee"

That's not a fair thing !!

CyberShy

Ps. Mr. Meier, will I receive a free copy for saying this ?

I'm even more excited now. Thanks, Sid! The fact that you even consider our ideas is a great testament to your commitment to design a game that is in a league of its own. Listening to the customers on what can be better in Civ3 shows how modest you and your team are. There's always room for improvement, right?
