Has there been some announcement? Or is this just random speculation?

I think he meant to say,
"What is doing FIRAXIS in now in Hell?"
I think the answer is obvious
On-Topic, I think they're making a "final" PTW patch, and there were some hints dropped about MOM2(?)

If the "final" PTW patch doesn't allow us to set diplomatic relations in the editor, I will give them a "final" swift kick in the ass.

Not a good bet to bet that PTW is the end of the Civ3 road, Boris.
Nothing confirmed, nothing denied, because I have no facts, just... intuitions. However, I would be surprised if they left the title without at least one more expansion.

Will "fun" be a feature of this new expansion? Because that would just be peachy keen.

Hey, I found Civ3 fun. I'll never forget the amazing world war...
NYE, I will be pissed if I have to pay $$ for yet another expansion pack that completes a scenario editor that should have been complete before the first expansion pack.

Just doesn't have that one-more-turn feeling for me, not the way SMAC does, or Civ2 did. Just feels like a step backward in strategic depth, not to mention the je ne sais quois that gave SMAC such atmosphere and flavor.
Other than graphics, golden ages, and resources, I can't think of a single solitary thing that is an improvement from SMAC to Civ3.

Now there's an idea. The objective would be to be the first faction to achieve faster-than-light space travel, and send a battle fleet back to conquer the mother planet, Earth.

After what Firaxis did to Civ3, I don't want them coming near a sequel to SMAC.
Those hacks could suck the fun out of fellatio.
......let me rephrase that.....

I for one would welcome a sequel to SMAC!  SMAC 2 sounds like a good idea, IMHO.

SMAC 2 is the sweetest of all ideas.
But I think they are working on a new RTS game called "Nations of Rise", to put some pressure over the competition...

*sigh* I just don't get you apolytoners and your obsession with SMAC. I played it twice, and never touched it again. I like sci-fi, just not in a game. I want earth.

Nah Alexnm, Firaxis is gonna one-up them and make a Civilization team-based FPS.  But i'd rather have Master of Magic 2 then anything, improve terrain mangement, keep the combat system, add more cool spells and balance em. Would be great.

Firaxians have said they'll announce their next big super-duper project at E3. Does anybody know when it'll happen ?

"step backward" is an apt description. I think I played civ3 all of 2 days out of the box, and went right back to SMAC.
