Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Daniel, well avault posted about it a few minutes AFTER us... http://www.avault.com/news/displayn...y=2282000-10653

Slingshot, when we hear from them, you'll be the first to know it

zaz, I think at least Brian still has firaxis stocks. I guess they are worth something

anyway, I see two issues here:
1) civ3 without four important people. now what?
2) rts games by tbs guys = actual strategic games?

If you're unaware of the multitude of problems with the Civ2 product Thue, you mustn't have played enough of it.

Oh man... well one thing is sure, there won't be CIV3 in this year or the next. Firaxis is going ahead full steam with Dinos now, and CIV3 is put on hold indefinitely. EC3 could as well be forgotten, because nothing is gonna happen any time soon. Maybe try again after 12 months or so if CIV3 is still alive.

they only have sid and mike and both are working on dinos, so who is working on civ3?


You forgot Doug Kaufman, who has been designing with Sid & Brian at Micropose & Firaxis for ages. He's damn smart and will lead on Civ3.

Also, this must not have been in the works for too long. Even though they show the "TM", it doesn't show up in the trademark databases, meaning that the application probably has been filed in the last couple of weeks.


Actually, they picked the name only three days ago (Sunday the 27th).

Clicking...clicking...clicking ??!!!!!????
RTS ? A mouse speed competition ? Bahh.. !
RTS can be fun for a while. Age of Empires II is cool to have some fun, but it is not strategy. TBS is a superior level of game, where one have to really think, analyse, forecast and act in a very close to reality strategical way. I think Brian will be back to TBS soon.

Nah, Doug is essentially Sid's guy. He is most probably fully committed to the dino game now. He'll do whatever Sid tells him to.

Noooo, make the artists programers. Most of them are probably sitting around doing nothing (or other projects) waiting for the coding to be done.

Kaufman working full speed on Dino doesn't mean that he can't take lead on Civ3... Sure it will be delayed a bit, but I would rather have someone concerned about making a quality name for himself than someone just slapping drivel together.

I'm pretty sure that the Dino bugs will reappear in Civ3. Those guys recycle codes like crazy!

Inflate your Upload Space

Before the four left Firaxis there were 7 designers (including Sid), 2.71828 programmers, and 3² artists. That's fairly balanced. They will undoubtedly find a few good designers now that the market is open.

Big Huge Games? They'll have to fend the programmers and artists off with a hail of day-old doughnuts. But before I call them &$#*@! click-fest traitors I'll wait to see what happens.
