Not in this case. There was an implicit NDA for Civ III. For MOO3, there is none - but then again, they released the STRATEGY GUIDE 3 months ago, so obviously, they're not hiding anything.

There is a big (in size) movie of space battle, i think it was in GS or something. You could try to use metacrawler.com to find it. That's what i had done.
For the reviewers: When you guys plan to release your reviews? Im new here, so what's your website's URLS?
Alexnm, are you also from Brazil?

Is there more to the Penny Arcade reference than the two liner on its front page?To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

we'll probably be putting up a 3-way review about the same time as UGO's, mid/late next week.
i did not get the strat guide and i would pay good money for a paper manual at this point ("Help me! Please!").
Rumor has it that all of the the review copies were burned copies with some copy protection problem. however, since mine got lost in the mail, i got some of the first *stamped* gold masters :-)))
i am not under an NDA, but you won't be getting harvester bits out of me. they are pretty creepy though. i mean genuinely CREEPY. and not what i thought they were. well, kinda, but not, you know...
also, the manual is on .pdf on the second disk. but no ALT+TAB makes that not so usable.Comment

and that would be why I was laughing and shaking my head everytime one of the punters would scream "They've dumbed it down into a mass-market game!"Originally posted by leiavoia
there's so much to learn. forget about your virgin MP game. not gunna happen. trust me. everything penny arcade said is true. you will be playing for days or weeks before you even understand what you are doing. so many buttons... and that's after they downsized it!
ahem, yeah... right.
One friend of mine who loves Civ sat down at the game for the first time two days ago and said holy F***in s***!!! Then he started laughing and said, so this is the 'simple' version?!?'
We both laughed for a while about that.
hope you guys enjoy it, glad you liked the intro and the harvesters

That's it, the dog and the cat are outta here. We must protect the manual at all cost, even plunking down more money to get each page laminated.Originally posted by dulahan

Actually, Chantz et al have said repeatedly that alt-tab is disabled for the game. That was an unfortunate but predictable thing to occur.Comment

Cool. It will be nice to see a review from someone who's taste in games is well documented. I may not always agree with Jonah, but at least I know where our likes and dislikes coincide.

Actually, he said in one of the Chats very recently that Alt+tab works. So did the BTs. Read up on them.
Though I've also heard XP could care less if it is disabled and even if it is by the program. I can only hope this remains true.
-The fact it is signifcantly cuts down on my MOO3 time. I almost always am doing other things when playing Strategy games that require me to get out of the game I'm playing. And no its not Cheating. Generally work or Mu*ing.Comment
