But it wouldm't just be any old Geeks, it would be our heroes at Paradox. Well worth watching (if only once).
I can honestly say that I could care less about how the game was made so as long as its made.
What!
I bet its those accursed Swedes at their old tricks again... Why do they have everything better these days
Just some versions came with a map?? Wohoo!! I'm one of the chosen ones!!
But yes, I agree, a cloth map would be excellent!! Ah... I would really like a limited edition of Victoria...

If Paradox were smart they would release a normal victoria and then release the limited edition collectors edition so Theodore Bergquist can buy that Speed Boat he has always wanted.
As I said, how will an extra effort to make this generate any kind of beneficial outcomes as far as income goes?
All I want is a game manual, (which has correct information of course) a CD containing the game, a map of the world and all provinces, with perhaps little icons to show resources or some other stats, and a foldable document which outlines unit types, their stats, technologies and what they do, and some other nifty information we need to look at very often. Please!
I might sound a bit jaded to some of you so forgive me if I do.
Does anyone here remember what happened with the CIVIII limited special edition? They promised extra scenarios, designer's notes on the game, a video of making of CIVIII. What I ended up getting was a lame video about the game, a piece of paper from the designers that pretty much said welcome to CIVIII hope you have fun with it, and no extra scenarios.
I'll never buy a game in the form of limited edition again as it is clearly a greedy ploy by companies to get more money out of you.
Again I apologize in advance for sounding mean but fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Which should be included in the standard edition for this game and every game made by anyone.

Let's play the alternate history game. If Civ 3 special edition had included...
-A CD full of scenarios and mods dealing with Ancient Mesopotamia, the future and everything in between.
- A 100-page booklet of designer's notes covering everything from the tedium of programming to the office party celebrating the game's release.
-A making of video spread across two cds that doesn't just cover the game's development but also traces the history of the Civ series and it's influences.
...would you still be skeptical towards limited editions of games?
Even then, you still get a crappy game, so this is a mood point anyway
It really depends of the goodies I'd get, but for a Making-Of-CD and a couple of notes that better ought to be put on a website for free, I won't give them my hard-earned (OK, neither earned nor deserved, but you get my point
) money.
I try to buy my games in as non-limited-edition versions as possible, especially preferred are those "best buy" ones that are in a DVD-box. I don't need any maps, tech trees or unit graph printed on paper for me, if they can be shown in-game. I was also really pleased to find a copy of Europa Universalis which didn't even have a printed manual, only a manual.pdf. I liked the low price better than all those extra goodies.
It's all about preferences!
I like the limited editions with all the goodies a lot better than low price products. I don't buy a computer game every week, and in my budget for a year, Pc-game purchase is a tiny, tiny post. That's why I see no reason for not bying the best! I just love goodie-features!
Knowing what I know today I still would not by a LE even with the aforementioned goodies. A lot of that stuff can be had from the internet for free. Why pay for it?
If what you said above was indeed offered at the time I bought CIVIII I not only would have been happy but also kept ignorant of corporate greed. The way I look at it now is my boycott on LE games are my only way to strike back at corporate greed. I'm just a drop in the bucket but at least I live comfortable with myself knowing that I wasn't tricked into giving away more of my hard earned money than necessary.

No just good old Strategy First pacaging
Aye to a map, in cloth would be better, although probably very much costly (specially put onto silk.. ), so id be fine with a paper fold out one. Thats it, the game doesnt even have to be a limited edition version. Would just be cool with a map .

I'll buy both the Limited Edition and the original game. The Limited edition would probably released a little later with the cloth map, and an authetic miniature wax doll of Queen Victoria...
Jesus. Corporations could put coke in a new can and charge 5 dollars more and you guys would by it.
