Greetings, fellow Civ fanatics! I left 2K last summer, so I'm no longer working with Firaxis. But I did want to post here in solidarity. Civ V is gonna rule. :)

Those others are European only products. Civ IV The Complete Edition is a North American-only release, so there's no confusion there. Except for people like you who shop worldwide, I suppose. :)

What you're seeing here is just a formality. When we submitted Colonization, we checked off the Mac box, so that if some day it comes out for mac, we don't have to resubmit it. This means nothing about any actual plans to release it for Mac.

We're working on it. We have to go back and find the original (pre-edit) text, get it laid out in a manual format, then get it approved by all involved... Anyway, it's coming soon. Promise.

It's made obsolete by Engineering, so it all depends on how quickly someone else researches that tech.

It's not just a one-time use thing. If you have the Great Wall, and it hasn't been made obsolete yet, then nobody can declare war on you. When playing single player on the highest difficulties, it can be a total lifesaver, as the AI loves to declare war at the drop of a hat.

We have no plans for a DS demo. :(

You can't port your game across platforms. The game core is the same, but the actual versions are incompatible. If the platform holders would have allowed it we might have been able to do some kind of save transporting (maybe) but that was never an option.

Yes, there will be a demo and it will be released over XBL and PSN prior to release. It'll be out worldwide before the European release date.

Hi all, I recently answered a ton of very specific questions on the 2K forums about CivRev: http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17134 I'll try and answer some here too, but that thread should answer a lot of questions you might have.

I can't imagine why. We've repeatedly confirmed that we support online multiplayer on DS. Don't over analyze the box art image.

As was already pointed out, PC hardware is already powerful enough to run CivRev. But the whole point behind CivRev is that it's not a port, it's an entirely new game designed exclusively for console systems. As I said in that interview, there never *was* a mouse and keyboard interface for...

There are lots of theories floating around here, so I figured I'd jump in with some answers (please don't attack me here). The plan for the Wii version, just like all the other versions of CivRev was to do it in-house at Firaxis. Unfortunately it became obvious that Firaxis just didn't have...

Definitely not. It's still officially just spring. Definitely before the summer. Also, we've confirmed that the Wii version is on hold for the time being: http://wii.ign.com/articles/848/848144p1.html

Yep, there's a printed reference card in the box with all the copy protection icons.
