Hi.

Thanks for your note. The beta testing team is in place. If we need more

Take care.

Well, you're lucky. I also have sent them an e-mail. Haven't received any reply.

It's really a pitty, that there would be no public beta.

Civ3 will not have Wonder movies, so 1 CD should be more than sufficient for the game.

My guess is that the game probably will be around 450 MB. (it's just a guess)
