The Dawn of a New Civilization: Civ3 goes gold!

[Thunderfall]

Thanks MrLen. I don't know what to say! You think TOO highly of me. You made me feel like I am truly the God of Thunder. ... and CivFanatics Despotism will continue by popular support.

Thanks to everyone who ordered Civ3 (or any other thing) thru CFC. I should let you know that I get 5% sales commission from Amazon.com.

You deserve it!

Geez Thunderfall... You're going to be rich!

So, what kind of sports car are you going to buy after you've sold 20 000 copies?

I've already had the Civ III Collector's Edition pre-ordered at EBWorld somtime back. I would cancel my pre-order at EBWorld and Order at Amazon, but I'm kinda of scared it would be too late for me to pre-order and thier won't be enough of the CIV III Collector's Edition to go around so I would be left out in the cold.

I remember reading on IGN about a week and a half or two weeks back that they the 75,000 Civ III Collector's edition's were already starting to get pretty low.

Howzit. this is my first post ever!!!

I live in South Africa, and whenever a game comes out internationally, we usually get it about a month or two later in our major retail stores, and it costs way to much to order these games online, but the other day i found this really awsome South African site where yuo can buy games for 150 rand (+/- $16.50), and therwe is no additional delivery fee. I know they're not cheating cos' I bought a game from them. Added to that, this site gets games about a week before the US does (i dont know how, but they got Commandos 2 and Yuri Revenge about a week before the US did), so thats where i am going to buy my game, sorry Thunderfall

Thats because they make the Game CDs themself if you know what I mean

 

[Dell19]

Hehehe one of those sites...

Really you should avoid getting games from sites than are illegal bbecause of this but its your own choice. Anyone what was the name of this site...?

 

[Matrix]

Yea, if you live in South-Africa and you want Civ3 (legal) for a reasonable price, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait.

But I've pre-ordered Civ3 (standard) together with willemvanoranje (and Kira), so that we came above the $75 and could use the $10 discount, plus the fact that the shipping costs are lower (per person). Now it's even cheaper than it will be in the shop! This is ƒ112,- ($46) and in the shop it's probably ƒ120,- ($50).

I finally figured out why that Visa coupon code doesn't work! It's only for books, music, and DVD orders.

And what do you say to someone like myself who is considering to buy a portable PC, just to be able to play Civ 3 in his bed (my long time dream ), besides having already two PCs at home, connected by a small network???

I don't know if I should be proud for doing that or feel a horribly addicted stupid!

Respect!

 

[boca]

Mr. Thunderfall!

I just want to let you know that you will be receiving a check soon, because I just ordered the Limited Edition of Civ III

I'm so excited, and I can't hardly wait to have it in my hands!


Thanks for the coupon.

 

[Shogun Pip]

This may be stupid but does anyone know what the difference is between teh normal and collectors editions?

I've been bugging my wife to let me use her credit card so I can pre-order CIV III but she want's the money up front.

 

[LeSphinx]

Does anyone know if the tech's poster will be in the standard edition too?

I live in Ireland. I assumed when I read on this site that civ3 came out mid-Nov that that ws when it would be in the shops.
But from reading these pages I am now worried (and confused) that this in fact is a date if you buy it online.

.






Considering that in Ireland if we have any difference in release dates (IN THE SHOP DATES) with Britain, for American products, it is because the product is a day earlier or a day later, when can I expect to buy civ3.


If anybody has the anwser for this please tell me. And no I don't want to order on the internet?

And what do you say to someone like myself who is considering to buy a portable PC, just to be able to play Civ 3 in his bed

Well that's exactly what I've done, but I'm wondering how people will react to me playing CivIII on the tube to work again. And in the pub. And in the park(glare is an issue so I might require goggles too...).
