Mostly happy, hoping that during the 12 months after game release, Firaxis will release (free download from official site) another group of Civ (from 8 to 12) we can chose from for game customizing.
I know that, if game will be a success, many fan will prepare alternative Civilizations, Units, Mod, etc.
I hope that, in a effort to sustain the selling of the game, Firaxis will "pick and adopt" the most succesful customized civilization, units, scenario, to add a professional touch in graphics, debugging (tuning) and wide availability to Civ players community (giving proper credits and a gift to the original author, of course).
On a second tought, am I speaking of Firaxis doing great support by web to an already released & cashed game? 
I must be drunk!

Poll mad?  And I only started 1 poll in two years... Or do you mean I reply to most of poll around here?

Provided you can plug in extra custom civs witholut having to ditch one of the starting set to make room then it really doesn't matter which ones they create. Any nations of sufficient interest will eventually be available from fan sites like apolyton. They may not have a fully animated leader graphic but that is the least of our worries. |
Seriusly, my point was that most enthusiast can tweak rules.txt, arrange some gif, chose a unique unit and playtesting for a while.
That can be the most relevant part of any alternative Civ, and a well done job is really more than simply chose a nation name and attach to any dumb copy of existing Civ... 
But, as I play joke on Firaxis team, I know it usually needs a professional team to bring any amateurish add-on to the same level of original game standard. Again, it's not that a die-hard fan can't play without bell&whistle, tuning things by trial and errors, but a great game (I still prefer Civ III will be a great game, trust me  ) should have a longer lifespan, just because of wide support with non-dedicated, new players.

I would suspect that the number of Civs will be hard coded into the game. If you remove the American to install another Civ, you propley still have Lincoln as your Leader and the other American leaders that show up time to time and the unique units (F-15). If they don't hard code anything, then this would truly make Civ 3 one of the greatest game ever because you could change almost anything. In CTP 1 and 2 the only thing that cannot be change is the Wonder movies.

Thanks for the info. I did not know that, and since Wes, you, harlan and the rest of the people who helped making the mod did not change any of movies, I thought they were hard coded.
