Is this really the most important news headline that we should have? Why not the Civ 4 tidbits?
From checking the news flashes, It seems the ACSR weekly hasn't went out on time in the past month. But it still gets a news item - often pushing away much more important new (civ 4 tidbits). Maybe instead news bits should be published when the show DOES keep schedule?
I come to the site for the community, the off-topic - and most imporantly - Civ IV. There is no real civ 4 section of the site I can visit yet, and civ 4 news are terribly rare - so each new event, I imagine - should create exciting headlines in a site called "Apolyton Civilization Site".
Instead it is burried under "ACSR weekly" production delay, which, does not interest too large a crowd, if i'm not mistaken. It is sort of a technical announcement for a really specific site function getting too much audience.
Speaking of which - I really liked how Apolyton decided to cover RON - basically an RTS with several "civ-like" qualities and part of the original Civ III team. However, RON is old news now, and frankly - it is not that exciting to see a news flash like "Anonymous Chechen gaming site finally discovers RON; rates it 4 out of 5 stars claiming 'we've seen more impressive Russian tanks on our street corners' " or like "RON nominated best liked pirated game in Mexico for 2004".
I mean, yes rankings are fun - but not when it is over a year since the game came out, and unless it has some high importance.
There are important news and less important news. There should be a way to distinguish between those.
