I only have one question, I have read that the cities can expand over the land. But I haven't read it in any interviews, and I haven't seen any cities that have expanded in any screenshots, I feel I have misinterpreted the first time I heard that the cities can expand. Is it an invisible feature? (boring) or is it something else completely? Be careful how you answer, you don't want to disappoint people. :]

Cephalopod mollusk or Sushi, you're choice, just not a fish!

From the FAQ, November.

In a word, NO!

quote: #3. If not Why not ?

To torture and punish you personally!

Pfft!

Yes, as soon as I get a weekend again.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming, please excuse the diversion...

P.S. Since it's rude to leave people in the dark, MageDragon interviewed me for the last game I was involved in. And he's just being obnoxious. Now Mage, get back in your cave!

I'm not sure I understand the question. Cities expand their control, as they grow they control more land around them. However, the cities themselves do not get larger than a single cell. Does that answer the question you were asking?

[ContradictioN]

Yes you have. :[

Nevermind.

I wait for the day for game designers to actualy design games the people want, not what they want.

the thing is that the game designers also have the marketing and the legal department over their head, not to mention the executives.....

Yup, that's the guy. No, I didn't work on BG1 (since that's usually the next question).

That's right MarkG, I consider them the designers. :]

Also known as "morons".

[MarkG]

you know, you sound like a contradiction to the image i had for you with your previous login...

[Atahualpa]

So what was the last project you were involved in? (Actually that was my next question )

I am Icedan, (shhh) MarkG, I tried so hard to get off, but no one would unregister me, so I was just about to put in a false email address in my profile so that a password would be resent to it - giving me no way to get the password. but...then I saw a post I wanted to reply to. :]

Oh and, the faces you get in these forums, what if I designed heaps of them, is there anyway you could use them?

[meriadoc]

Question for you. I know that it's late, but is there a possibility of one adding one last notification feature. Currently the game, I am assuming, notifies the player when a city has finished construction of something. Could we also include an option to have it notify the player when the city has grown in size, say from 2 to 3? The reason that I ask is that I often want to place my tile improvements just as a city expands, but I don't want to recheck every city every turn. Please?

meriadoc,

That's a really good idea, but I'm sorry, it really is too late to add that.

In CtP the general City Screen, accessed via the tabs on the right side of the main screen, has a column just to the right of the 'city size' column that is the number of turns 'til next pop. growth. So, the information may not be as notable as a pop-up message, but it's readily accessible with a single mouse-click.

PS: To everyone, just remember that there will NEVER be a perfect Civilization game. I'm as very disappointed by some things about CtP2 as the rest of you. I'm still determined to enjoy it as much as possible.
