    Finally in Europe

    Heads up, fellow Euros who've been waiting for a store release!

    Well, seems the distributors finally got their thumbs out and managed to get the game to stores over here. At $55, it's a bit steep, but I was happy to snag it off the shelf nevertheless.

    Now, if you excuse me, I'm off to install!

    The boxed game is still impossible to obtain in France (to the exception of Paris I suppose)...

      Tamerlin, I thought you had high speed connection? I can check next week if it's available in Paris if you like? If so, it shouldn't be long before it reaches the rugby european champions' city. Or you can order by mail, but I'd rather download (actually, I downloaded) if you have ADSL.

        Hi LDiCesare, I have a 128ko ADSL not the usual 512Ko, I am usually downloading 1Mo a minute... a long but feasible process...

        But when I buy a game at full price I like having a printed manual... I have asked the various shops of Toulouse and none of them are importing games, to the exception of the highly commercial so called real time strategy games like Star wars and so on...

        And yes we are European champions...

          You lucky Europeans, pity us Australians who won't have it for (let me guess) 6 Months

          EDIT: How very stupid of me, I post this and after a couple of days the galciv page announces it has been released in Australia!!! YAY

            Does anybody know something about availability in The Netherlands? I've already asked in a few shops if they know anything about it, but they say they have never heard about it. I don't think this is a good sign.

              I have 128ko too and that worked quite well .
              I'm sorry I didn't check availability in Paris (couldn't really take some free time for it because of the *#@!* strikes)

                Don't worry LDiCesare, I will certainly end up downloading the game in the weeks to come...

                I am sorry about the delay of my reply but I am not receiving any emails to warn me when someone posts a reply.

                  Weird, the Civfanatics message board has the same problem at the moment - does anyone here know what's going on (no-one at CFC seems to)

                      The rest of France is unimportant. Bow to your master city.

                        I agree with you, to my eyes Toulouse is the most beautiful city in the world (totally unbiased opinion of course )...



                        But still no GalCiv in the area...

                              Don't listen to him, Tamerlin. The game is still unheard of in the capital.
