Uhh, Celts for springtime and the Easter season? Idk...

The SDK just updated again. Not that it matters at this point.

You come across as a tad nihilistic there, has the official statement from Firaxis taken the wind out of your sails as patch investigator-in-chief? Don't feel bad, its entirely thanks to you that we even knew something was in the pipeline to begin with

Couldnt updates like that still point to a patch today rather than tomorrow or thursday?

I'm also kinda suspicious of that update being made at a full hour.

What would be the significance of it updating?

I have to say that "shifting the goalposts" comes off a bit agressive to me. I have a hard time pointing out why it's wrong (it certainly is) without being a jerk, but with you not using a quote in your post and the last post on the matter being that someone found it weird that they'd have Sean Bean come over for just those few lines, it's only logical that I'd say there's a difference between making a DLC and recording some voiceover lines.

I've been in too many looping semantic arguments to not come down hard on the moving of goalposts, perceived or otherwise. Sorry that you felt I was being (unnecessarily) aggressive.

Certainly, it was more than one poster, and I didn't want to single any one out as that could incite worse behaviour. Voice acting is a complicated business and it could have actually been done ahead or time, or they could've booked a repeat appointment. Certainly considering how unionised VAs are compared to most other aspects of the industry, coming back to record new lines would possibly be more profitable, and thus a preferable goal r.e. negotiations.

The Earth's butt is currently experiencing summer.

For the rest of forever, I will refer to Australia as "the Earth's butt."

I feel like a general in peacetime at this point. We have a pretty good idea of where things are headed and constantly refreshing the SteamDB is unwarranted.

Nothing at this point.

Will they need to update the main package files, too?

The Deluxe Edition package will have to have the Australia DLC added to it. So expect to see that updated shortly before it goes.

Also, 2 weeks ago Pete said they were too busy to livestream. Today they have the FL video, Tweeting, and a livestream planned. Seems like they aren't too busy anymore. Tomorrow evening is definitely a possibility.

DLC 512034 aka "Australia" just updated.

and the 2K qa just updated. If I didn't know about the announcements this morning, I would be concerned about this.

Why would you be concerned?

I wouldn't expect the 2k qa to update again after only hours. It would make think it isn't ready yet.

I wonder if in the Australia DLC they will reintroduce Ayers Rock (Uluru) as a new natural wonder?
Also do you think there will be any other new features that might be introduced? Although Poland only came with a scenario the Aztecs (despite being a free preorder DLC) came with a world wonder of Huey Teocalli.

Would make sense to add Ayers Rock. And the Sidney Theater isn't in the game yet either, is it?

Sydney Opera House is in the game.

There needs to be a Penal Colony improvement.

There is, the Australian civ.

Unfortunately the Sydney Opera House is so late in the game that there is no point building it; I can't even recall what it does. Takes forever to build too if I'm not just building it in weak production cities.
