I know the final might not be out for a while. But what stage is the game in? Has the structure of the game been complete, or is it still in alpha form? If it is in beta, has the beta been released?

Sid did release a demo of SMAC about 2 months before the game, maybe Firaxis will do it again.

FIRAXIS has said several times that they are aiming at November-December for the release date. With that in mind, I'm sure their still in the mid stages of it. And usually game companies dont release a BETA until soon before the release date.

Hopefully this won't be one of those: 'Always delayed release' titles

Not that we want it released half-finished either...
