Definitely wait and see.

Some of the concepts sound interesting... although they are going to have to work really hard on 'connecting' the player to their game, and not using latin terms/names will probably be a good idea.

Hmm, TheLimey, I'm not sure about your

quote: not using latin terms/names will probably be a good idea

I think that using scientific name is easier for translation job: no chance to mess names up and an easier way to recognize them and share opinions on international forums as this.

Oh, and learning a bit of scientific names can't be so bad for a lot of us, at least will be less boring than some school lessons
I took twenty or so years ago.

BTW, I'm italian, still I never studied latin, so I suppose I'm quite fair in my opinion

[MidKnight Lament]

Ta, Cam.

Undecided... I was never a dino fan, even as a grade-schooler and I fail to see how this (dinosaurs) has any-thing to do with a "Sweep of Time Trilogy"... wasn't the concept of the trilogy to make 3 interconnected games that your play in the previous game determines how you start off the next game. How is building a grand dinosauric empire the becomes extinct going to help you in civ3 (assuming that dino is the first game. I can see, tho, that with tweaking SMAC (making the alien life-forms little lizards instead of fungus combined with the "transcendence" [YUK] end-game)how Dino can be the last episode in the series. SO, i say again I will need to wait before i decide if I am going to buy this game... if RTS i am leaning toward no... if TBS then i lean toward yes.

Just Wait & See, simple as that.

I'm not planning on buying it, but seeing as how it's Sid Meier we're talking about here, I'm not going to rule it out either. Dinosaurs hold very little appeal to me, but if it's more of a scientific evolution game that carries us from prokaryotes to dinosaurs and has a few scantily clad women prancing around every few eons, I might reconsider.
