So how soon is soon? This kind of announcement is usually not made... I mean, I remeber before the launch of the EMI site, there was a pseudo-announcement in the form of a screenshot, and persistant unofficial rumours.

Adm. said it best, calm down. What is everyone shouting for joy about? There never was a doubt that Civ3 would be developed sometime so I don't understand the lack of news to be any big deal. It has been said that Civ3 will be released in 2002, so what will your response be a year from now? If I were Firaxis, I would keep communications to a minimum. Knowing the good folks here, they would be disappointed with any details that Firaxis releases.

2002?!?! The last I heard, it was spring of 2001. There's no way it could take another year+! You could start from scratch and almost hit that deadline.

It should be out early 2001. or was that late 2010

[Tiberius]

YESSS !!!

Finally, some good news. I almost lost hope. I can wait even until 2002, just giv'me some screenshots!

Thanks Firaxis!

Just for the record, no one at Firaxis (that I am aware of) has ever said anything about Civ III coming out in 2002. We have not announced an official release date yet.

All together now... aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

But I do have a question, Dan. Perhaps this has been answered somewhere else but then, I'm kinda new to this particular thread. How many developers are working on Civ3? And could you please break that down by function, i.e., programmers, designers, testers, et al?

Thanks.

Thanks for the bit of news, Dan. BTW, any chance for a new Firaxis forum or is all that still "Possible One Day (tm)"?
