Jul 4th 2008 3:39AM The lack of voicechat is a big hit. Me and my clanmates will be able to use Skype easily enough, but the big advantage the DS version has over the consoles, portability, is lost for most of us since we'll be tethered to our PCs.
As for text, well, it'd be better than nothing, and you're right, comm would be great for alliances.

Jul 3rd 2008 3:25PM I gather you couldn't work with the multiplayer (probably not that many copies of Civ Rev DS in action), but still a few questions:
1. How are Friend Codes implemented? Are they necessary? Is there some sort of random pairing if you're not looking to play with someone specific?
2. Voicechat is out, I know, but is there any text chat or messaging?
3. Can you save a multiplayer game and return to it later (I wouldn't think so, but it sure would be nice)

Jul 3rd 2008 3:20PM I'm a huge micromanager, and if a game of Civ 3 doesn't run into 70 hours and take a month+ to complete, I feel gyped.
But I don't really have a problem with the compromises as I've read them. I play Advance Wars and mini versions of Risk and Generals too, and as far as I can tell, there's no portable strategy that is like Civ Rev in scope. I expect it fill a nice void.

Jul 3rd 2008 3:12PM wiili.org used to be THE place to host GlovePIE scripts, and it's still there and still has a huge repository of scripts, but it's not very active anymore.

Jul 3rd 2008 2:08PM What extra buttons did you need for that second wiimote? Worker controls? Is your script uploaded anywhere?

Jul 3rd 2008 2:06PM You talked about the quirks of stylus control... IGN's preview made it sound like after selecting units with the stylus, you had no choice but to use the dpad to direct them to their location. You make it sound like you can drag an arrow to where you want them.
Is full stylus control possible? Other than the spacebar, my PC civ games are completely mouse-driven. Do I have the option of full-stylus driven games? Do drop-down menus work more or less like their right-click PC counterparts?

^ That's half-joy and half-bitterness. I'm thrilled with it being early, I just wish I thought to come by this morning. =(
How are your shins?

Jul 2nd 2008 5:02PM If it helps, I'm willing to take that chance. =)
So we're talking July 8th? or 6th? or? midnight eastern?
Sorry about the off-topic. I just have a one-track mind.
