How are you Europeans (and other non Americans) going to get Civilization IV? Full PM-box? Change here!

Well, Civ IV is about to be published in a couple of months. I'm hoping it won't suck and I'm planning to buy the original right away.

It will be a bit pricey for me, but I figure what the hell. I really disliked Civ III and I haven't played a decent computer game in years, so I'm going to afford myself this as soon as it's out.

But I mean as soon as possible. I know that there are many Civ players here from Europe, so I'd like to hear your strategies. Is it best to order via Amazon (how long till they deliver, and do they get copies as soon as they are published?) or is some other retailer better choice? Or will perhaps some European chain have it as soon as in USA? Is European release simultaneous?

Or should I think about finding someone in US to buy it in brick and mortar store and ship it to me?

What do you plan? I have to emphasize, I want the game as soon as possible.

Yeah, I guess it will be on torrent the day it is out. But I want the whole expirience, plus it will be easier to patch and so on.

I think it will rock. They've had the same people working on it and they can't screw up twice. That's how I am, I trust people. Civ IV is gonna rule.

The same way as I got Civ3 *

* It released about 4 weeks late in the UK, so I really had no choice and I did buy the game as soon as it came out over here.

I can't believe publishing houses can be so dumb. Civ III supposedly sold in over 3 million copies , so it's obvious this will go like crazy.

To me it's just asking for trouble. If you want it you have no choice but to get it illegally.

One think I absolutely can't stand are idiots who need to preach on the internet. I'll name no names. reds4ever did not encourage piracy, merely stated his opinion.

And what happens? There are already TWO freaks looking to kill my thread over a side issue. Just get lost, will you?

So what is the reason for the delay? I know last time (Civ3) the executables were different in the Euro version, I've got no idea why though.

Well I guess the marketing department has to check if Civilization IV means "your mama is a cow" in some language before they give it an OK

I'm going to download it when it's released, and buy it when it gets to Denmark... I do not want to wait a month or two (or even longer ) before I get to play the game...

I will wait for the reviews to come out first, just to see if the game is worth the $$$.
