Ask Sid

Sid wants our email

A new episode of ask Sid on www.firaxis.com. Seems mr Meier lost his mind as he's asking for us to send him emails and he's calling Civ4:Colonization 'a hit'. Personally I'd qualify the game as mind blowing.

The emails he needs to certify we'll really want a Civ5, apparently Firaxis wants to certify itself of enough sales before starting to program.

I'd say fire up your gmail and start typing

Civ4 is still on a lot of sales charts, I don't think take2 really doubts they'll be selling enough of civ5 to make boatloads of profit on it. But as far as civ5 is concerned: why bother? We'll be promised better AI, decent mechanics and no bugs, and we'll end up with civ4 (basically: civ3) with better graphics, a boatload of bugs and an idiot AI, plus dumbed down mechanics because the masses can't be bothered to micromanage [/rant]

As far as I'm concerned civ5 will be part of the col2 compensation plan.

I just don't get how you can say that, Col2 is such a great game. Even Sid says that.

He also said the AI would be better in col2.

Different, he meant different.

Oh yes, instead of an idiot AI we end up with an AI that's just "special"...
