Well, another recent interview said CivIII is 80% complete...

Up to 8 civs can play at one time! WOO HOO!!! That's less than a lot of fanatics wanted, but I think that it's a step in the right direction.

Listen, strange women lying around in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system government.

Interesting...The game will go on to year 2500. So there should be a lot of future techs shipped with the game (Secrets of the Human Brain comes to mind) - is this good or bad?

12 scenarios is also nice. Then you'll have some scenarios to play before Kobayashi, Prometheus or John Valdez release new ones

I think that's exactly the number we want.

8 resources might be few, but then again as they are very implemented in the game that would maybe not be so bad.

7 difficulty levels is also good (I hope they insert one between Prince and King)

24 minor Wonders - isn't that too many minor? They don't have that big of an effect on your civilization, after all.

12 major Wonders - that's as I said, too few. I wonder if they have solved the Pyramid problem...

What's wrong with Bodø/Glimt?
