Title: Interview with Sid Meier
Post by: DicedT on April 13, 2014, 07:49:41 PM
Had a chance to interview Sid Meier (the designer of Civilization, if you've been living under a rock). Some interesting insights about Civ players.

Just contacted his PR firm. Sid was very friendly.

I met Sid at New York Comic Con a few years back. Really nice guy.

On a side note: with No-Script (and firefox in my case) You can read the whole article, registration window is blocked.

LOL!  I wondered why it didn't ask me to register.  My script blocker was working it's magic.

That's a really excellent article!  Some good insight for those of us making these type of games.
