There should be a reference to Apolyton in Civ3

Increase the size of your Attachments

Something small, unintrusive, but easily recognizible by anyone that's ever been here/been a regular here. After all, we DID contribute greatly with The List, don't we deserve it?

I totally agree. They could add the line(s):
...to all the players and to all the people at Apolyton (and other forums) with all their wonderfull suggestions and inputs.

i hope they do recognize Apolyton site, or at least it's creators, becuase not only do we act as a resource for ideas, but also as a means for advertising teh game when it is released, which whill ultimately help their profits.

aside:
in CTP2 (& ctpI?) you could edit the credits...i was upset with the game quality of CTPII, so i deleted the programmers (or maybe it was just the QC people, i forget which) and put my dog's name in it
hey, at least i felt better

Suffering from ads?

in the credits is fine. but i mean IN the actual game. perhaps in the graphics for the "computer advance" have the guy on the computer looking at an Apolyton web page. or something like that, i dunno.

Apolyton perhaps belongs in an "ideas" section of the "CREDITS" page.

I think its enough that they add a general thanks to all Civ-3 fans/forums out there - not just Apolyton. Why should Apolyton be singled out? So we have contributed with most ideas - so what?
Also, if they add something, they should do it in the automatic scrollpage credits-window. 2-3 textlines near the end of the scroll - thats more than enough for me.

You think that actually using some of our ideas wouldn't be considered an "Apolyton mention"?

They only need to name me in the credits.

Well, I sure as hell hope you didn't edit my name out (or any of the other Apolytoners for that matter)

These days all software products create a submenu in the Windows Start Menu. I would be very satisfied indeed if Firaxis included a link to Apolyton (and other prominent Civ3 sites) in this menu.

Or perhaps some of the 'bad jokes' of the advisors could be Apolyton related? 'Our cities are so overcrowded they look like Mingapulco on Black Saturday'

Got spare money?

A simple credit would be nice, but I hate games, movies, books, whatever that make people feel like outsiders by loading up on in jokes. Connorkimbo's idea of it being in the background of a cut scene - where we could see it but it wouldn't get in anyone else's way, that would be OK.
