    No, I bet Civ III will be released THIS (2001) year. Ready or not.
    They haven't Sid Dinos to sell in the waiting until 2002, as I supposed a year ago. Fresh money matters.

      And that's what makes me want ot believe a 2001 release also. Of course we don't want the game to be finished hastily, but it'll be almost three years if it's released toward the end of this year. Also, on the website, they say that they are hoping for a fully-fledged product site by spring-summer. How much later can the release be? I hope it doesn't take long to hit the shelves in my country.

      speaking of a "release", I recall this:

      some time ago, a conversation like this had happened:
      friend: civ 3 is released
      me: what? when? how? where did you see it?
      friend: that's what this magazine says. but it's no longer Sid Meier, i think activision will release it. It says that there are many more improvements, advances and nations.

      So as soon as I was finished with school business, I rushed to buy C(Drop it soon!):CTP Back then, what made me hesitate at first was that there was no Sid, and I was right in my prejudice. I'm sure that many of you, when asked for an explanation for rotten school grades, accused "Sid Meier", because that's what Civ means. Now I'm waiting for the *real* sequel and it WILL be magnificent.

        Frankly, I doubt that Civ3 will be released before 2002. With a game that has to stand up to a legacy as large as Civ, it will take several months of bug fixing, and fine tuning. Firaxis wants to get this right, or else the Civ legacy will go down the drain.

          Not really, probably 2 strikes til firaxis is out =). Screwing up once isn't THAT bad, but still bad.

            When ever the release date is...I just hope that Firaxis/Hasbro doesn't release a lemon like Activision did with CTP2!
