Yes, I would also like to know if Firaxis is either working very long hours on Civilization III, or if they intend to update the site SOON.  |

Markos, what are you talking about? Why wouldn't a Firaxis staff member be able to work on the Civilization III site when they're not working on the game itself?And one more question - don't your eyes EVER get tired when they roll like that constantly?  |

Well, I wouldn't say that's my *ONLY* job =), but it certainly is one of my highest priorities. The quick answer is that we have an update in the works, please be patient. Thanks,

I suppose this placates me temporarily, though I hope it will not be "real soon" like with the civ3 website, which didn't appear for three months after the comment. Dan, I hope you read my thread "The most urgent question for Firaxis". It will show you what people are most concerned about regarding the game. |

Allow me to make a prediction. So far everything new was either released by Firaxis on monday or friday. This coming friday will be exactly 4 weeks (1 month) after their last update of the site. They said they will answer "a few questions every month".Therefore, I predict the next update will come on this friday. |

Yeah, site was released on a monday and first update on a friday. What more has there been? Too bad you can only release something once  I see some problems in this logic, but it sure was funny to mee quote:

Well, that I do think is a quite good guess. I'm also waiting for friday.

There was one other release, but I don't remember on what day the 3 units were revealed... Wait! I'll check. Now let me open another browser... it was on a wednesday (12/20 First Civ III units revealed) Well, anyway, I'll be looking forward to an update (which is in the works ) this Friday. Let's see.

 My theory does not work! It was actually based on the pattern in which Activision released information about CTP2. Still, friday is the best bet. |

I have not given up hope, yet. Bear in mind that the time difference between Europe and the US Pacific coast is about 10 hours, so it is only morning there. I hope not to be dissapointed. |

Sadly, the site updates like mine.... Regular updates for 1 - 2 weeks, then nothing for 2 months while I'm busy with other work.... |

I have a suggestion to you folks: Several months ago, as you all know, the Civ III section on Apolyton was updated with giant intervals of time. Once I discovered it, I used to check the site every day, but got frustrated and decided to resist checking for a long time, and then come back with many new stuff. I suggest we forget the official website for a while. |

I suppose, the last update was also on the 19th. However, I agree with badger - Monday evening is the last time I am checking the Firaxis website. From then on I will only ever check on Mondays and Fridays. |

Tomorrow will be exactly 1 month from the last update. So, I sure hope that we get an update tomorrow.

I predict a 40% chance that new information will be released on either a Monday or Friday. This is based on my deducing the Firaxis staff doesn't work weekends. |

I predict that it will rain.Civ III will involve cities and units. Err...great advances will be made during the game. Umm...only one nation can win, unless they ally to form a joint victory. Firaxis will not shelve this game to work on other projects. |

---CIVIL DISORDER--- Firaxis team flee in panic! Monday, 23.25 GMT comes and goes...(Shakes pitchfork angrily) What does it take, Firaxis? Apolytonites are starving on crusty old pieces of information! Threads are unravelling into digression and dying as we speak!! "Site update? Let them eat cake!" |

It would seem that Firaxis is probably trying to coordinate their p.r. with that of Infogames to match each others hopes. After all their the ones with the release date of this fall. |

I predict that someone will read this post and realized that they have wasted their time. Anyhow, I guess they'll update the site like I do with mine. Regular for a week, then nothing for half a year.... |

Of course, it's entirely possible that they have no updates yet. I mean, how often can you say, "Nothing new to report", or "We're working *really* hard on it" before you're just wasting your time.However, since the webmaster of Firaxis seems to visit here occasionally, I have a request. Juno (the lovely and really and truly free internet service /end sarcasm) will not allow me to email you guys through your link on the site. Is there anyway you could include a message board like this one?
Marc /me assumes the lotus position and begins to wait patiently, greatful that no one here knows me, thereby realizing *just* how unlikely this action is.... Marc |
