Great, now how am I going to find time to play HoI, EU2, and Victoria? Hmmm, maybe if I get a couple of extra laptops . . .
Wishful thinking. To occupy yoursel, try researching the time period and prepare for the country you are going to play with. At least you would be prepared for the events and get yourself ready. This will give you more hindsight in what actions you should take.
Can someone please explain to me what happens when a game has "gone gold"
Answer and you shall be rewarded by your King. Me.

It means the code has been delivered to the publishers so they can add their installers/branding/possible copy protection and start stamping CDs.
Is it actual gold instead of aluminum or is it just a CDR? I know there is/was a company that sold music CDs with gold substrate instead of the standard aluminum.Originally posted by Havard
yep... The "gold" is the "gold disk", i.e. the original game code disk
I believe it is actually gold-colored, at the least. I wouldn't be able to say if its composition actually included gold, though...

Well now, looks like I've only got a month to finish up my end of things for CORE. Now for teh generalizations:
The GOOD:
Victoria is gold!
1 Month to go for release (in theory).
The CORE members who were kidnapped and forced at gun point to be BETA testers can now get back to real work.
The Bad:
1 month to go for release.
I now have to plan to get a copy, and even pay for it.
I only have 1 month to finish up some things for CORE, before I get sucked into Victoria.
The Ugly:
1 moth to go before release date.
I have that stupid Brit New Wave song "Victoria" stuck in my head.
to think that my wife thinks I spend too much time on the Pc now...

Hopefully the sys requirements are as posted previously AND it actually works on my 500 Mhz machine.
some way to buy a new computer.

After writing the history of the Pelopennesian War, what else is there to do? Herodotus, Xenophon and I just sit around and play EU II, HOI, and soon Vicky and CK.
What are the "young ones" - Tacitus, Suetonius, Plutarch and Polybius - doing? Playing Crown of the North and Airfix dogfighter?
Then I guess the time when you used tape recorders for computers was antiquity and 3.5'' discs where the early medieval period then.Originally posted by Havard

There is probably a book to be written here: The Age of Storage - The periods of history as seen through the light data storage media. By Erica Hobspawn.
(Ok the subtitle may be a bit off, but it seems to be the standard these days).
