The real question is, will they make the smart move and draft the entire Apolyton user base as early beta playtesters, and actually listen to us?

I'll have to agree with this 100% - put your best effort into it, Firaxis!

Personally, I'd lock them in a room with nothing but a computer and CTP2 for a week or to so they can see how to design a good interface.

Must be a typo on your part - instead of "CTP2", you probably meant to type "SMAC(X)"....

Anyways, as a SMAC(X) CMN and Creator why I am most interested in the Firaxis comments about Civ4 being "fully modable". What that truly means I will be very keen on learning.....

It means with jsut one line of code you can convert Civ4 into a stylized version of Doom, Master of Magic, the Sims, Matrix, EverQuest or any other game you can imagine, a few others, plus a fully drivable McLaren F1 with a totally custom paint job and three (3!) coffee cup holders that all double as DVD+/-RW drives wth independent 13" HDTV flat panel monitors.

Dude, smilie overload

as much as this news is to be expected, it still be good news indeed

[DrSpike]

Indeed.

So the estimate is Winter now? I suppost that means pre-Christmas.

I agree with alva, the blue text is just annoying... I didn't even bother to read the first post

The SMACX interface is annoying as hell... it's impossible to get the information I want when I want it, all this information only comes at random useless times

I would prefer the Civ1 interface compared to the SMACX interface...

Okay..
Just in from the inquirer

Civilization IV has been brought up from an expected and vague release date of "Winter" to the more concrete Autumn release date of September 30th 2005

Sounds a bit like halflife 2 to me though..

[DrSpike]

You mean we get a 'leaked' version soon?

[neliz]

And the final version somewhere in 2007. .yes

September 30th

Could it be?

[Adagio]

Yep, it hits the stores tomorrow





...or maybe not!
