MESSAGE FROM SID! (yes!)

[yin26]

Markos,

Don't worry. This just means they are trying to keep Apolyton a secret before millions more people come here. But the day of The Great Apolyton Congregation is nearly upon us!

(...anyway, I'm sure Apolyton will get a lot more press as Civ3 gets released...)

The List had nearly endless stuff about trade and military units, including most or all (I'd have to check) of the stuff Sid mentioned.

Cool, huh?

Finally, I have renewed faith in Civilization! Thanks Sid for the update - the game sounds like its gonna seriously kick butt!!!

happy, happy, joy, joy!!!

I'm happy to hear from Sid because of the silencing of all those downers who thought that civ3 would curl up and die with all those Firaxis members leaving. some even went so far as to suggest that there wasn't any point in hoping for any civ3 because of this.
The message from Sid not only lets us know that civ3 development is alive and well, but also that Sid Himself is involved in it, instead of just "overseeing" the project.

I suppose the next thing to eclipse this news will be to hear that activision has hired BigHugeGames to make ctp2 the next generation of RTS. No, I don't have any inside line, just musing

[FinnishGuy]

Ouch!

It did look pretty bad though. But all is well now... it seems...

[tatterdemalion]

It is nice that Sid Meier's spoke up about the game. Helps to alleviate fears. The only problem is that Hasbro is involved. Any of you that know what Hasbro did to Mechwarrior 3, know what the problem is.....

[Dr Strangelove]

It's good to get some reassurance that there is going to be some innovation in CivIII.

I could care less about what happens to CTP2. I think it would be poetic justice if they turned it into a "Star Wars Rebellion" like RTS bomb.

CooL! It's like... a new chapter to the Bible.

*MAJOR bump*

The message that this thread is linked to at the start is just too cool - I didn't even know of it 'till the Admiral mentioned it - knowing it would've meant that I wouldn't have spent so many posts arguing a fait accompli.

Aaaaaaaawwwwww! It's only a bump? I thought maybe we had another message from him.

*sigh*

This is completely stunning! It is particularly good that they have not only used the list but also picked what I think are the most important suggestions from it and are incorporating them. Brilliant!

Sorry MKL, but I thought it was so important that I couldn't simply just link to it from the another thread.

Yeah, fair enough, mate. No hard feelings - I was just being silly (for something different )

hey, thanks for bumping this thread! I must have missed the news back in march.

[UltraSonix]

I'll bump this once for the newbies - the message from sid (link on first page) contained info on what Firaxis had put into the game already (but it's old news).
