Finnish/European release postponed even further???
According to two local retailers the game will not hit the stores here until November 22nd!  And the other source claimed that the whole European release has been postponed!
Is this really true or are they just f****ng with me? The Finnish release date really doesn't matter because I have a preorder from amazon.co.uk (which still claims nov 16th) active, but if whole of europe is affected, I want to see some heads roll.

Just phoned Helsinki center Stockman Micronia and they still say 16.11.2001 as releasedate in Finland. (So let's pray...)

Let's hope that the game arrives on time,
but I suppose no one else than me (sorry, not trying
to be arrogant) has rised such concerns like
that the BXA might have tightened their policies.
And that might cause a significant delay. 
So once again I call every civer to join the campaign.

So Civ III will hit the Finnish market on Friday. 
The lowest price yet known is 232 marks on
Verkkokauppa.com.
But this doesn't solve the LE problem.

A message from game reseller
Hi, just received a message from Helsinki Stockmann about Civ3...
A set of Civ3 is coming this friday and Stockmann will have it for preorders at 298 mk. So, cann't wait...
LE will not come due to the fact that it's a limited edition

I asked www.verkkokauppa.com about Civ3 an hour ago.
(They have 98 preorders now )
To me they said that no info on arrvialdate and quantity could be told jet. (Meaning that maybe they don't get it this friday)
But, I just locked at thier www-page and now they say that game will arrvie to the importer this friday. Well, make your own conclusions...

I don't think that a finnish version even exists (I certainly hope so) ... nor the finished version

I received an e-mail from their customer service stating that they will indeed have the game on Friday.

It's the standard distribution (=the same as in US).

Jahwol! It's important to support the current BTC's
boycott on Civ III and Civ III LE orders from Amazon.com.
Why? They have cancelled without any compensation
my paid Civ III LE pre-order; not to mention other's
(see the official BTC discussion thread).
Don't order from Amazon.com!
