We ought to close this forum

[warpstorm]

It's just plain too late. At this stage of the development (heck, months ago), Firaxis no doubt will only consider changes that are very minor modifications of what they are implementing already. If they aren't in the tweak and polish phase by now, they will have little chance of making their deadline.

True, but we can still fantasize ?

 

[jwijn]

Keep the forum, just change the name to:

Civ 4 - Hopeless Dreams & Fantasies

 

[apatheist]

Or Civ5. Or Civ4 mod suggestions.

I believe the Civ3 equivalent was kept-open after Civ3 was released.

There's always the exapansion packs, and this might also be a good 'inspiration' forum for modders

 

[Deep_Blue]

this forum gives me great modding ideas , I like it .

 

[Che Guava]

..and what about expansions? I think keeping this forum alive is still worth it.

 

[Pounder]

I think it should be left open. I know that patches are just to fix bugs, but they have reworked the game on patches in the past.

Now that the game is easier to modify, maybe we could see a few features added in the patches.

Frankly, I'm tired of hearing this point of view but that's a personal issue which, except in this case, I will keep to myself.

The forum should stay open for both the purposes of expansions and for future patches. Furthermore, I would like to point out that regardless of the possibility of changes or additions being made it is important to continue with feedback for the developers in order to insure our (the fan's/buyers) opinions/gripes/ideas are not forgotten.

Why this forum though? Firaxis has a direct line on their site for exactly this reason (and I've gotten replies every time I used it).

I guess so ideas can be discussed my many, instead of suggestions just by on person. That way, developers can assess the popularity of ideas, as well as additional suggetions/refinements...

You conquer what? The Vikings?

Civ is getting to your head...

That is one reason but I would also like to add that it is precisely because this ISN'T thier site that makes this important. It is both the mindset and the attittude of this forum that makes it so important to feedback. This isn't fans talking to developers, this is fans talking to fans, a crucial difference which allows the developers to hear unedited versions of what the fans both individually and collectively think.

Okay, maybe we ought to MOVE and RENAME this forum to something more relevant now that it's influence on Civ4 will be increasingly slim as time goes on. For example, Civ5 ideas and suggestions.
