I was just wondering. Seems like that usually does the trick. Maybe its time to start whining again? Here it goes:
"MAN. Its been almost a month and there has been no updates. Whats the deal firaxis. Some people want to know what all is going on. Give us an update!!!!.............They must have canceled it."
Fell free to join in.

Patience, patience...IMO, Firaxis is working as fast as they can. As a rule of tumb, just expect an update once every two months

I will wait for the game as long as it takes. And I dont really need to see chapters if info being released at a time. May just a unit or two or a leaders face. Or maybe dare I say.....A SCREEN SHOT! I really dont like webmasters who think they have to have something profound in order to update there site. Haveing maintained a website before I know how unhard it is to post a picture.

Well....ok. But I talked about other things besides screen shots. I knew that it was unliky. Out of curiousity why cant you post a screen shot of what you have now and have a little text IN THE PICTURE (that way noone can boot it easy and call it the real thing) that calls it a test shot or temp shoot or eirly build shot or something like that?

The other things you mentioned, leader heads and units, are both available from our website. Perhaps I'm not understanding you correctly.
The decision to post or not post screenshots is often a factor of several different things. One very big factor, for example, has to do with gaming magazines who may want exclusive content for stories. Another has to do with the fact that the game may not look ready for public consumption, etc. Another reason is that the publisher likes to weigh in on these kinds of decisions and ensure that information being released aligns with their (and our) strategy for marketing the game.
In short, while it takes me all of thirty seconds to post a screenshot, a lot more goes into deciding when, where, and what is shown. This is why I can't just throw a screenshot up whenever someone asks me to.
I think the horse is down and begging for mercy. I'm going to stop flogging it now. As soon as there are screenshots, you guys will know.

Even a 'not yet please' is a good response.
Did anyone notice that civ II did not have the seashore tiles did not cycle the waves like civI????
I liked that in civ I.

This message is for Dan at Firaxis.
I appreciate the difficulties you face in balancing public discontent over the demands of corporate policies and industry needs. To put it bluntly, I wouldn't be drawn into discussion regarding site updates, as most of us know perfectly well why you can't post information at this time. I don't believe it is something that you or Firaxis as a whole has to justify in anyway.
Although certain comments and player feedback can, at times, strike a nerve, please keep in mind that the vast majority of Firaxis fans are very grateful that we will someday be granted the opportunity and the priviledge of playing Civilization III, and we thank you all for your hard work and dedication to the genre. We are very fortunate that your company has decided to take on this project, and I look forward in sharing the delight in what will undoubtably be a quality product.
