Care to explain how a company like Paradox could afford a 25 million dollar license?

	What you think PARADOX are? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Trip,


What you think PARADOX are? I think it is needless to say that in Strategy games they have a great name. You are underestimating their potential. Recently they have made some big changes and bought the rights of "Diplomacy" and "Squad Leader". Soon after their upcoming release "Hearts of Iron 2" they will begin on "Civilization 4" and let me tell you one thing more; it will be a real time game, not turn based. And if you want to know more you will be able to read it on gamespot after some time.

I'm well-informed on who Paradox is and what they do.

Their recent release of Victoria didn't do so well... they're not a large company and there's no way they can afford a 25 million dollar licence. Yeah yeah, I know, I'll see... Sorry, but there's no way to snap one's fingers together and make 25 million bucks appear.

So, how long will you stick around the Civ forums? Assuming, in the unlikely event, that Paradox isn't the buyer, will you still be around?

What do you base your statements on?

Civ4 is already in development by Firaxis.

Whilie it is possible that Paradox Entertainment, among a long list of companies, might have bought the name I don't think they would make Civ a RTS game.

If it were Paradox, I hope it wouldn't be any less appropriate for all audiences than Civ has been. And it would not be Civ if it were real time, and I figure it would be less appropriate for all audiences. If these changes were made to Civ, another game would have to step in and fill the niche of True Civ.

Mark my words.

An "investor" is not going to pay 25 million for a franchise just in order to change it.

I would be surprised Firaxis would have enough money to buy it. Especially if Atari are doing this to liquidise the asset.

Just read the news myself. Who ever bought the rights can still keep Firaxis developing the game, they would be their boss now, then again maybe not.

No one knows for shure unless they can post a link to it so who ever says they know don't. POST A LINK IF YOU DO KNOW!

Time will tell and we will all have to wait.

Some info in this link makes me wonder if the release date for cIV will be at or close to October 2005. The writer indicates that Atari retains the rights to sell old Civ titles until that date; it makes sense to allow the resale of CivIII and others up until the date of the cIV release...

edit: Homelan Fed seems to actually have interviewed Atari, who is being fairly secretive about this whole thing. I wonder if the purchaser is someone interested in staying out of the news - even Sid Meier ???

And this link, if by a real person at Firaxis (Perhaps someone can comment on a person named Dan existing @ Firaxis?) is at least somewhat reassuring I'd assume they wouldn't stop the presses just because of a sale, but I would worry about the possibility of a significant change. Sounds like not.

If that was authentic, my guess is it was Dan Magaha. There's also another Dan at Firaxis.

Yes, it was Dan Magaha. He's the associate producer for Pirates, currently working on the XBox version. The other Firaxian Dan is Dan Garry, the MP programmer for Civ 4.

Actually, I don't know why the party would want to keep its identity secret. Information on the issue may be released Monday, but we'll see.

I've heard that Osama Bin Laden bought the rights to the Civilization name. He intends to create a new Civ meant to be played only at the "Osama" difficulty level, where the Taleban civ starts with 300 suicide mujaheddins and wreaks havoc on the other Western civs. The game will be called "Civilization: I Don't Think So".
