Is it just me, or is anyone else slightly... what's the word? miffed? annoyed? Not sure... that Firaxis is now embarking on civcity: rome, at approximately the EXACT same time that Caesar IV is coming out?

Don't get me wrong; i'm all about competition and the free market and having developers compete with each other to make a better product. I guess I just felt like Tilted Mill did a really good job breaking out of the traditional Impressions citybuilding series with Children of the Nile, and they should get a good shot at Caesar IV. I know I have no real logical rationale for b eing upset with Firaxis for doing CivCity: Rome, I just think it's kinda lame that it's like a freaking carbon copy of the Caesar IV (ok, with a tech tree).
 
If Caesar IV is any near as boring as COTN, I'll go for CivCity any day. Loved Caesar III and Pharaoh and it went downhill from there. Too much 'work', too little 'fun'.
 
Actually, it looks like the bulk of CivCity:Rome is being done by Firefly, not Firaxis.
