From 2K Greg on 2K Forums: "What would you like to know from the dev team?"

What ever became of this? Did Greg already go to Firaxis?

Yes, he went there with Elizabeth Tobey and flew home Thursday evening. I'd guess that given that they'd both worked 11-12 days on the trot, they decided to have a long weekend - so the podcasts would therefore be posted early next week.
 
This. Also are there any changes made to advisors to make them 'actually' useful for players ?
It could include things like :-
- Hiding messages
- Revamped suggestion messages for trading luxuries which would generate most profit i.e stop suggesting me to sell silver to Elizbeth who is hostile towards me & won't give me more than 50 gold.
- More sensible suggestions regarding expanding ur borders & what cities u should priortize to capture during war/weak cities or rich cities not too hard to take.

Since when any advisors have been useful and not a waste of time (to include) in any civ games??
 
Civ2 was worth it for entertainment value.
 
Haven't they been saying that since release, though? :/

It's coming June 18 or 19 when G&K is released. I think Dennis Shirk said that in the PAX interview.

Hmm are you sure of that :think:

Obviously they will release a patch to vanilla that will allows DLL to be loaded/unloaded for G&K compatibility before the release, and they've also said that the SDK for the DLL will be out at some point, but I don't remember them saying that the DLL's SDK will be available immediately after the release of G&K.
 
Ahh. That's it, then. You're probably right about Firaxis being diplomatic.
 
Nothing new on when we might get some answers?
 
When will we find out some more info? May 6th now and no word since Sweden.
 
Which was about two weeks ago, right? I think they need to drag things out a bit more. They have six weeks left. There are only two big things I can think of left, the civ trait reveal (where there's a detailed description of the civ) and the scenario descriptions.
 
More info about the tech tree, maybe we'll get that before release?

That would be nice. They should tell us about this new era. Some real AI gameplay would be a plus, so we can see for ourselves, what this supposed reworked AI is capable of. Many remain skeptical that it will be lame improvement. There is plenty they still can show us.

We've not yet seen Theodora and there's a few units we don't know about either. Those and what you mentioned about civ traits and scenario descriptions are the main things as far as I'm concerned.

The dev team info was never going to be specifics, it was more "how does the team decide which civs go into the game" type questions Greg was looking for.
 
The few units would probably be left for a surprise when the game is released. Assuming they aren't UUs, in which case they'll be revealed with everything else for a civ. Theodora's art almost certainly would be revealed when we learn the rest about Byzantium.
