Any sign of a DLL?

[Yakk]

I've been distracted away from Civ5 for a while now. I'm wondering if there is any sign of a Civ4 style C++ DLL that gives us access to the "guts" of the engine yet?

No. The DLL source has not been released yet and no announcement has been made about when such a release will happen.

 

[Yakk]

Thanks.

Pity.

no announcement has been made about if such a release will happen.

At least I haven't seen one...

Thal, see http://forums.2kgames.com/showthread.php?90838-Mod-Tools-Available-Now!&p=1177248#post1177248 where bigden (of Firaxis) said "The source release comes a bit later, just like in Civ IV. " To me, that's enough for a "when" rather than an "if."

Recent updates to the wiki from Sseckman imply it's a "when", as there's examples of working with GameEvents from C++ (with the reason given being along the lines of "this will be useful when you get the source")
