      Just another little thing that may support Russells comment, My gamezone.co.nz account has Civ 3's status as "Processing" instead of what it said yesterday, which was "On pre-order". Gamezone is pretty fast so maybe i will have it tommorrow!?!?!

        You got me all excited, so I checked my gamezone account but it still says "on pre-order." Grrrrr, my wife will be pleased when I get it. She thinks i'm very grumpy. Women just don't understand, LOL.
        "I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five. Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind have lost track myself. but bein' this is a 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question.......do i feel lucky?..........well do ya punk?"

          I've also got Fifa 2002 for my PS2 arriving tommorrow, so maybe they stuffed up and changed the status for the wrong one? I sure hope not, cos i want Civ 3 about 100 times more that fifa!!!!

            Well, it's all interesting information none the less.

            If you guys get Civ3 before we do, then I am happy for you.

            Just remember though, we've got the Bledisloe. Petty, I know, but that's all I've got right now!!

            As for Games suppliers hyping the release date and saying it'll be in store before it ever will be - well, it's a marketing tactic I guess, but it's a pretty low one.

                FINALLY! I can finally post now, ive been waiting for my activation email for like a week.
                Anyway, I have it preordered thru gamezone, and they do indeed say it will be out late next week, around the 9th nov.
                but please keep us posted, there have been so many changes, and i wouldnt be surprised if there were more.
                I have nothing interesting to say

                  Why, thank you

                  This is probably the first time a Kiwi has laughed at an Australian without us being humiliated first

                    All of these warm fuzzy peaceful cross Tasman feelings must result in:

                    'We Love the King Day' celebrated in Australia
                    'We Love the King Day' celebrated in New Zealand

                    or maybe we postpone these days until Civ 3 actually arives here.



                    Interesting... my brother has just called. He is halfway through downloading *something* off the net. Seeing as I have already paid for it (preorder) is this illegal? Must leave work and go home!!!!!

                      yeah, it is illegal, but id do it anyway if i could find it )and if my 56k modem could actually get it before the release!

                      I went in to gamesman today, and the store dude confirmed 9 nov as release.

                      when i went there today there was the civ3 box, sitting on the shelf and i just about had a heart attack. then I looked closely and saw the "coming soon" sticker on the box.
                      Now thats just ****ing cruel. I told them so too
                      heh

                        Civ3 isn't really much

                        No MP, No scenario support,no events, too easy to miss out on resources and then miss out on the Modern age.

                        Got a "demo' and today its gone straight in the bin, won't be buying civ3 when it officially is released here.

                        Civ2 is still better.

                          OK I have been playing it for about an hour now and I think it is well worth it! I'm not going to cancel my preorder. For anyone that has cable or can wait long enough I d/l it using Kazaa 121Mb.
                          I don't feel bad at all about d/l the game because I have preoredered and will buy when it arrives in Australia. Must go now and negotiate with the Zulus they have a large army.

                            That is very cruel, isn't it? One of the reasons I've purposely been staying away from my local PC store in recent weeks!!

                              just out of interest, was that the ISO or the rip? You could be the first person in australia to play civ3!!

                                Probably other problems but comparisons are difficult...
