Yes, they are working on both. Brian Reynolds is doing CivIII for Hasbro and Sid Meier is doing Dinosaurs for EA.:-)

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Sid Meier doing CivIII? Or both working together?

If you've read the diaries carefully, they haven't decided a name yet, the tentative name is Sid Meier's Dinosaurs, but that's not the official name

I wouldn't call 1 game every 3 years hard working, especially considering what a step down SMAC was.

Step down??

SMAC was revolution itself and it opened door for further improvements in the genre (CTP). It is a step up, and a big one. And by "hardworking" I ment something else. After the original civ, what did sid meier do? I think brian reynolds should get more credits.

Didn't Sid work on Gettysburg and after that he started on his secret project which is Dinosaurs. But I agree that Brian Reynolds has been short changed... he designed civ2 and SMAC but both have Sid's name on it.

BTW I'd rather have 1 good quality game every three years from a company rather than 20 pieces of shite every year. Look at Blizzard, they probably only average one game a year, but their games are good and well cooked.

... and Rare on Nintendo. I still play Goldeneye.

SMAC made many advances to the civ series. Although it may have been lacking in areas such as graphics (which are only icing on the cake anyway), the gamepaly was outstanding. Social engineering, revised trade, AI improvements, better diplomacy, design workshop, a much better terrain modeling system... just to mention a few.

Three cheers for Brian.

Heh, yeah. Sid Meier's AC would probably sell oh about twice as much as BR's AC. It is a marketing decision, and Brian doesn't mid as long as he gets to make high quality games and the insiders know who he is.

Watch it Siddiqui! One day I'll be Emperor and you'll be a washed-up old man doing 20 hours a day of thankless labor in the coal mines to run the factories that keep us afoalt, and when your pickax breaks, causing you to loose what meager wages you earn for your suffering, I'll be up in my palace, laughing at you from above saying 'Ha ha' as you are down on your knees begging to be killed on the spot, and as my guards shot you ruthlessly in the back of the neck. It will happen, and when it does, people will know and respect but one name...

-Drew up the plans for the first Soviet atom bomb
-Protected the people from their enemies
-Made Red Front
-and the list goes on...
