Reading this thread makes me happy that I pre-ordered from the states
I'm already civing for 5 days

Ok, had to pay 30 euro more

Wish I had done the same thing though

Rather pay a bit less and have a bad manual that I'm going to read only once anyway...

Staying true to your heritage is a wonderful thing!

I have it! Bought it at the local dynabyte. It was the last copy available. The only other store that had it aswell was e-plaza.

Hah... Pre-order arrived today, Manual looks decent to me. Tech tree and manual all english, that's fine too.
2 things disappoint me though... I'ld expected a better qualitiy of the leather box... and why the h*ck are the cd's put in paperboard instead of decent cd box? even a slimline box would have done. Now I have to get such a thing myself. I guess pulling them cd's in and out the paperboard is not very helpful in keeping scratchfree cd's.

You obviously never heard about the bet that Yin26 would need to eat the cardboard that comes with the game?

I have a spare US version special edition, unopened.

If anyone wants to buy it from me please PM me, I live in Utrecht. I'll take any serious offer

(I bought the Dutch version because this one took to long to arrive)

[Locutus]

Hmm, now that's tempting... not worth it though unless I can find anyone to sell *my* regular edition to for a fair price as well, once it arrives (but that likely won't be for a while... developers are ironically always the last to get their release copies )

Thought you guys would get a special edition at least. You certainly deserve it. Bit strange having to wait, still you'll at least have a beta version to play around with I guess?

Hmmm unopened special edition.... so tempting!

I've now also spotted the game in Extra Zone,
but not in mediamart stores in Belgium.
Mediamart did however have civ2 for 5 euro

Oh, and Extra zone is 5 euros cheaper than
gamemania. 50 versus 45

BTW, I saw that Gamekings will do a Civ4 review tonight (TMF 21:00, rerun a few times over the weekend). They're kind of the FPS crowd, but it'd be interesting to see what they think of the game...

Edit: and Gammo (Veronica, 18:00) will do one as well. They're also reviewing AoE3 so it'd be interesting to see which scores better...

Thanks for the heads up!

Gamekings and Civ... Hmmm Wonder how that will pan out. They don't really appear as Civadicts to me... Don't like their show anyway.

I'll make sure to watch Gammo at least. Should be fun AOE 3 VS Civ 4

The market data is in, and Civ 4 is best sold game in week 45:

On a side-note: Play.com is a good store; I've ordered there before. I still need to get Civ 4, but I'm waiting for the December fever. I think I'll order through Amazon as well... pad the Poly account a bit

And, of course, shameless plug, attempt #2: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=139350
