Due to the low priority of Meier's games at MicroProse, they had trouble securing the help they needed. It was only grudgingly that the company allowed the art team and play testing team to work on it.
During this phase of development, the map was halved in size, large portions of the technology tree were removed, and units were removed. Prior to shipping however, Shelley developed the in-game reference guide, the Civilopedia, as well as the massive user manual.
In 1991, the game shipped. It was late and saw very little promotion. However, on the strength of critical acclaim and word-of-mouth excitement, the game took the imagination of gamers everywhere and spawning a million selling franchise.
Even if the 50x war thing is a joke, the Hundred Turn War achievement isn't. Note that, like many other achievements, it STILL doesn't work.

I doubt it, Pouakai. There were many achievements that shipped with the game that didn't work, and as far as I know, none were removed, just removed from visibility (they were never visible in Steam, they were "secret" achievements). I could be wrong though. *shrug*
Sumeria would be a very interesting civ to crush! hope it's new DLC!
A change in the Debug file CONFIRMED some of the new achievements:

I highly doubt Sumeria and the Hittites will be in. There would be too many middle Eastern civs. Its not that I don't want them, I would like as many civs in the game as possible, I just don't think they will make it in.
Although I want to see both Sumeria and the Hittites added to the game, I have a feeling they won't be added in the upcoming DLC, as the achievement log doesn't seem to have an achievement along the lines of: 'Beat the game on any difficulty setting using <insert leader's name here>', even though all of the other civilizations have one.
I hope I'm wrong though...
All those "secret" achievements that were posted here in the forums were a hoax. They were never even in the game to begin with. No official source ever confirmed them, no one found any code to confirm them, and no one managed to get even a single one of them (If there were secret achievements, I am willing to believe that some of these secret achievements would not be working, but not all of them).There were many achievements that shipped with the game that didn't work, and as far as I know, none were removed, just removed from visibility (they were never visible in Steam, they were "secret" achievements). I could be wrong though. *shrug*
There are still 15 achievements which do not appear in the debug file, which means there is possibility for them, and then the "Korea DLC" achievements
Hold on... where are Scenario_05 slots in the newly RE_activated debug file?
Korea_Joseon DLC has been delayed or replaced by a Mesopotamia version or what?
