Take2's announcementHard to say what impact this will have for now, but it does bring alot of resources to Firaxis Games and atleast for now Firaxis seems to be keeping it's talent pool in tact. CS

In an interview some time this year Sid Meier said something about 2 projects he is involved in personally. One will see the light of day in 2006, the other one 2007. Take2 is so keen on stating that Sid Meier is still with them, I guess these 2 projects will be big cash cows - maybe a Colonization 2, or a new Alpha Centauri...

Yes, there's a poll on Firaxis about what games you'd like to see redone, Colonization and SMAC are the top two contenders, and with the CIV engine work already done, these projects wouldn't take as long either.

Man I'd give anything to be a SMAC beta tester... I still have it on my computer and occasionally play. I can't tell you the number of times I've beaten it on transcend level with every faction. The Hive is probably my favorite or Datajack Roze... Morgan Industries is probably the easiest to win with (you can straight out buy all improvements/ units). My least favorite was that pirate guy... ugh I hated sea colonies. Any possibility of Firaxis/Take2 buying the rights for Castles & Castles2 hehe, that'd make me way too happy.

hehe i might have played col more than civ, and still play it sometimes, tho the bugs and memory settings for Xp are frustrating to deal with.. Never understood why they didnt make a 2nd one.. A very few games dealing with the same subject appeared some years ago, with better gameplay and graphics but without the same depth of detail that col had.. i cant remember the name of those tho now a mix between GTA and COL might be cool.. like you're in charge of one of the 4 main european mafias and have to implement your business among indian tribes..
