The time has come where the focus of these forms is switching from us giving our ideas to firaxis, to firaxis telling us what the game will be like. I've drooled and salivated over the few bits of information that have been released, and likely, more and more information will come out. However, part of the fun for me is discovery, finding out how things work, and all the cool frills and bits of atmosphere and game mechanics that i never knew until i played the game. Hopefully, firaxis realizes this, and keeps the majority of info secret. But whether they do or not, i'll be withdrawing myself from the civ3 forums, and in fact won't even look at the civ3 website at all. I'll be back when the game is released.
See ya, hopefully, in a few short months.
