Where's the SMAC option? :) :) (Yes, I know it's not named Civilization, but really, it's just a Civ game with different names and graphics)

I still use the WAV files from SMAC for notifications in Windows and on my phone. Best game sounds ever

Thanks for posting this. I've been frustrated at the lack of keyboard shortcuts, and couldn't even find these through mouseover.

That's your experience. I find it works very well, especially when I'm in a commanding position in the game, which, when I decide to conquer, is often the case. It saves DOZENS of clicks, especially in this iteration of the interface.

I tend to agree with this. I'm not saying that Civ4's interface was fabulous, but I do feel as if there's needless obscurity here. Many features are either buried 3-deep in clicks or unavailable entirely. The queue is far and away teh most obvious. Has anyone yet figured out how to save...

Bittorrent is a great way to distribute this sort of thing. Trick is, making sure that only people who have paid get the download. New versions of BT may address this.

But Khaim, the point is that when you can get it via Steam, you take away money from the normal boxed distribution methods. This upsets the retailers, and they are less inclined to sell your product. They may even refuse to sell ANY of the publisher's products!

The problem with this distribution method is economics. In order to reach the largest audience, you need stores to stock your game. A large percentage of sales come from people browsing a game store and going "Hey, I heard that was coming out," or "Hey, that looks good!". If you...

I'm quite certain that when I checked the web site yesterday, it said "Shipping 10/24". Today, it says "Shipping 10/25". I'm relatively certain this was the case for WoW when I bought it last year as well. It's not new.
