Or inspire more knock-offs. Hey, if it worked for Meier's Pirates, then there's always hope, right? Wonder what Firaxis is doing nowaday, aside from porting stuff to consoles and cranking out yet more Civ xpaks. Ho hum. OK, after a round of Googlying, looks like they did a belly-flop with CivCity Rome, with abled assistance from Firefly. So much for franchising the name. Maybe they ought to talk to EA to let them graft Civ onto the TW series. Three cheers for sequels, remakes, and console ports! Yip yipee yay!
