    I'll get it tonight. Took me 6 phone call before finally finding a shop with a copy on sale. Most shop only had the pre-ordered copy.

    Customs in Australia recently put in a new computer system... it is delaying all and I mean all shipments by days and upto weeks. The docks are overflowing. All critical stuff is getting through.

    PC games are not on that list, so it will be a while before it hits the stores... unless one of the guys who installed the customs system is a civ fan and gets it through quicker.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    I think you just worked out what on those new computer systems is delaying all those shipments!

    There are 650 turns in an epic game, and things are produced/researched more slowly. Next is 430 turns in a normal game and things produced/researched at the "normal" rate. And lastly 295 turns in a quick game where things are produced/researched faster. If you need a comparison, the standard game in in Civ3 was 540 turns. So normal will be faster then regular Civ3, and epic will be longer, with quick being for short games.

    They still haven't even managed to get BI to my local EB store yet. But Civ4 will be arriving on Nov 3 or 4. However you have to pre-order because there's a lot of demand.

    I was going to pre-order, but I just can't convince myself I like the Civ paradigm enough to pay $89.95 for it...
