My sincere congratulations to Firaxis
The game isn't out now, but it is physically done, achieved.
I simply wanted to congratulates Firaxis for the development they made on a game that is more than a game: Civilisation III. In this video"game" world, it is rare that a work of art and genius is made with such perfectionism, and even rarer that it has so much listened to community, to make a work that is even more perfectionist and also much harder to achieve since Civ III is complicated technically and very vast, making it hard to make good macro rules.
I congratulates Firaxis for their perfectionism within the making of Civ III, the best civilisation history simulation to date, and towards the community's very numerous ideas.
Thanks
Trifna

You played the game already? Give us some more details that we don't know then!

Does it have MP Trifna? Please tell us.
Then Sid will be able to release the the and good people over at Firaxis from the terrible vow he made them swear on a copy of Gibbons' "Rise and Fall...".

Yes, congratulations on a job well done, and I can't wait to see the game!

You know nothing about the game itself, so you can't know whether it's a work of art and genius. While thanking Firaxis is perfectly reasonable, let's not get too out of hand here.

These things can't be known without playing the game. Everyone hopes you're right, of course, but nothing is for sure.
I doubt it will be a *bad* game, but there is the chance that the game is just above average, and quite possibly not "a work of art and genius".

I see
Well I'm confident enough about it. I saw features and such, and only establishing a good model as is now done is a very nice thing. Even if the game wouldn't work, I'd consider the model that have been done as a great advancement in the Civ genre.
