There's even a spelling error, it should be "Veuillez insére r"

This is insane.
Will someone please explain to me why there needs to be a US version and a EU version of the game, and that the patches are not compatible? I got my civ3 in holland, damned happy it's in english and don't know why people would want it in any other language if it can't preform that l;anguage without stupid spelling mistakes.

IG has 2 main parts, US and France. don't even think about suggesting that they maye work as a unified body. that'd be insane.

Riiiight... Although nobody hates us , unlike our neighbors from the south, we're looked at like pushovers, which I have to agree with.. pity, really.
The truth is, when the US has a cold, we're sneezing. (Damn, that makes so much sense in french, but not in english... oh well, you get the idea of the metaphor)

Yeah, we dutch are a bunch of crooks!
But the french they speak in Quebec is quite different than the french spoken in europe. It's got a lot of old words not used anymore and is very englishified. It's more like Franglais.

aahz_capone:
It's true and not, we used some(not a lot) old worlds... and some englishified words(not so many).
We got many law here to make French preponderant to English at radio, television, label and others. And child got to go in French School or learn French( the good french, not the teenager/street french). So I wish that's our french can resist many years...

And to add to cronos' comment, you guys (from France at least)do use words like "shopping", "parking", etc. which aren't french at all, so don't tell us we speak "franglais".. hehe

sometimes I think video game documentation is written in NewSpeak and Infogrames is the Ministry of Love.
Notice how subtly I brought the discussion back towards the topic. I am so slick!
