Firaxis and 2K Games on the French Tech Tree Issue

[MarkG]

We contacted Firaxis and have recieved the following note

2K Games has determined that a small number of units of Civilization IV incorrectly included the French Canadian tech tree poster due to an error at an assembly plant. They will definitely be replacing these at their cost and will have information on their website at www.civiv.com shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

ooh... I *hope* I get the French tech tree...

sounds like an extra bit of fun.

so long as the *game* is in English...

Yeah, there is a novelty factor to the French tech tree.

I can figure out most of it, but I'm gonna go download the English version, so I can read the rest of it.

hmm.. i wonder if i can sell it on ebay for an outrageous price??!?!!?!

[calarrick]

well I suppose if you get the French tech-tree in your box you have to play your first game as the French, right?

(yeah, yeah, I know it was actually the French Canadian insert, but the Quebecois aren't a "civilization"...

...in the game, I mean.... )

[Celerity]

MattPilot, I had the same thought...

[Richelieu]

Ooooops. Our world domination scheme has been uncovered.

Greedy minds think alike!

[LDiCesare]

You know this was a plan by us evil Frenchmen to force Americans to learn our magnificent language?
Or is it that 2k has real problems getting a product out to so many places?

[calarrick]

...mine came. Tech tree is in English. The play/install mislabeling thing is there, though.

[MattPilot]

Did anyone receive their replacement fold-out yet?

I wonder how long it will take.
