I have *NO* other news to report about localized versions at this time, nor do I know if retailers in other parts of Europe will be able to procure copies of the US version. As soon as we know anything more, I will let you know.

Thanks Dan for the reply. Still not sure if LE will be in UK shops at the same time but I appreciate your response.

I hope I´ll be able to buy a copy of Civ3 (original or localized version) in Vienna in mid-november. At least, the game will be here before christmas.

Could the night get any better? I've just been to see the Reduced Shakespeare Company (and they are incredibly funny), I've just got a letter from my Tutor saying I've been granted £150 as expenses for effectively going on holiday, and now I come here and find that not only is IT printing almost as I speak, but that I should be getting IT more than a fortnight before I expected IT!
Can anything else go right?
Hang on while I call that girl in Edinburgh I've been chasing...

Dan, lemme just say (and you can pass this onto all your collegues at Firaxis) that you guys are doing a fantastic job, inspite of a few things that some complain about, everything i hear about the game makes me want it more and more. . . keep up the good work 
(does the super exited dance of joy)

Hey Dan, great news.
You're all doing a helluva job, nevermind stupid "hey the faq's not updated nananananana" complaints. 
And let me just say that if it turns out to be true that both US and UK stores will be allowed to start selling the product at the same time, I want to give you all a and a big thank you for not discriminating American/European gamers. THIS is the way to go.

Typically isn't Friday "game release day" in the UK, so maybe 2nd Nov could be the day to throw a sicky.
24 days to go ?

I am going to start marking the days on the wall of my bedroom, like prisoners do when counting down the days until they are released. It is going to be a difficult 3 weeks
