Pirates! Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I just stumbled upon the wonderful news that Firaxis' next project will be a new version of Pirates! Will there be a forum on this or am I being premature?

Why not? Isn't it "civvy" enough? Poly does cover a game like RoN after all.

Spike: Dan has already stated a few months ago that Apolyton doesn't plan to cover it, both in news and IIRC any type of forum.

If a game by a CIV programmer can get a forum, why not one by the CIV creator?

I'm wondering how much a game like Pirates2 could be analyzed.
Knowing 'Poly Tubbies though, quite a lot!

What is the Dinosaurs forum used for anyway? Why do we have a forum dedicated to a silly sitcom from Disney using animatronic Dinosaurs?

Besides I need someplace to post my "bouncy" graphic add-ons for Pirates! 2!

I thought Dinosaurs was for old games. It seems that no-one has the same idea of what the forum is for

Yes, Dinosaurs was a game Sid Meier was developing, but it was not becoming what he wanted, and the game therefore was laid on ice.

And Disney turned it into a SitCom? Sheesh, is nothing sacred to those Liberal Whackos?!

So if there isn't going to be a forum for an actual upcoming game named Pirates! 2!, why is there a forum for a game that never was or will be?

Not that I care, I just think its funny. Can we cut off the Dinosaurs forum and make another "secret" area out of it?

Why not just rename the Dino forum to Pirates?

If people are so desperate to discuss Pirates then they are perfectly welcome to start a thread in Other Games. We've had one or two already, but they've died now.
