They should probably not even have feilds when you register requesting where you say you are from because then you get people like you saying not-so-nice stuff to people like ultrasonix. Anyway I doubt the web site won't be up until after the game is out. As I recall, they said it would have previews of what the game is like, and in order for it to be a preview, no one can have seen the actual game yet. Thus the web site should be up before the game is out, and I agree that we should forget about it until after the new year.

Look Sweetheart..I was having a little fun..ok?

Look, I'm normally a really nice guy, but I that idea's just plain dumb.

Regarding the web site, it's called a MARKETING EFFORT. I'm sure the Firaxis/Hasbro marketing departments have a schedule all worked out as to when they go live with the site (taking into account delays to the game of course). They're not just gonna throw the site up for the sake of it. No doubt they'll coordinate the site with releases to the gaming community and magazines. (And no.. just because they have a date in mind doesn't mean they have to tell you what it is.)

Do you realise that most of the threads in the forum right now are probably a waste of time simply because Firaxis has probably already made a decision on the issue/s - we just don't know about them!

The map, ie. weather it's in 3d w/raised elevations, the shapes of the tiles, etc. Because I asked them and that's what they said. So all our threads about the map, keep them going, they haven't even started to discuss it yet

So let me get this straight.. you asked Firaxis about their maps.. and simply because they have not decided to share details of the game with you, you have deduced that they haven't finished working on them yet?

Look. I happen to work a floor below Relic, the guys who did Homeworld. Some of you have probably played Homeworld and may agree that it was a truly original and well implimented idea. Now if you're still a year and a half away from finishing your game, you aren't going to go out and tell everyone what your ideas are. Relic was totally hush-hush while working on the game. Hell, you should see the security they had up there. When you make games, your ideas are going to make or break you. You don't go sharing them with everyone.

We may all like Firaxis and Sid and what they've done, but they're not going to start marketing and openly talking about the game until they're ready.

That came off sounding like a rant at you. Not what I intended. I see a reoccurring theme here though that people keep talking like Firaxis owes them something, and it's starting to grate on my nerves. Spoiled child syndrome, you know? "I WANT TO KNOW NOW. AIIAHHGHH!!"

That sort of thing. Really we all just need to find ourselves a diversion until CIV3 actually comes out. It will be SO much easier on our psyches that way. =)
